Overview
About Me
Hey hey, you just landed on Monti's CS profile :) You can reach me on IG via @metamontino (btw I can host you peeps but last min request usually don’t work cuz I have plans most of the time)
So far, I've lived in Tetouan, Lyon, Daejeon (Korea) and Paris.
Very fond of traveling, I try to go where people haven’t been much. I’m a sucker for the thrill & the adventure.
Some life inspirations ! Basquiat for his expressive courageous take on the world, Mishima for giving equal importance to the body and the mind, Nietsche for his transcendental philosophy, Hemingway for his bold and serene depiction of a wild world, Murakami for having awakened in me the emotional artistic approach to life.
I have a good sense of humour. The more people get to know me, the merrier we get.
I'm most passionate about life, how to make the most of it, about how an individual, feeling ever so different special and unique, can thrive in society as a whole.
Big sports addict, I’m a regular at either climbing, gym, soccer, or snowboarding & surfing on vacayyy
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe human connections is the currency of life and feel rich beyond measure for the interactions I've found in my time on this complex spinning ball.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Drove a car in Mallorca while tucked inside a sleeping bag at 5am in the morning. I wandered aimlessly around a village waiting for the heater to heat the car so I could go back to sleep.
Spent the night with a friend inside an elevator, outside Jeju Airport in Korea, seated on an inclined luggage cart, with an audio inside the elevator playing on loop the whole night.
Been to +300 people student event in Istanbul (ESTIEM). We were crazy back then..
