Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted different couchsurfers at the house where my girlfriend Francesca and me live.
They were all exciting and funny experiences, and I had the lucky chance to learn a lot.

Since I did it through Francesca's account, please look at her profile if you want to read some references. ^___^

books: from Italo Calvino to David Foster Wallace, from Thomas Pynchon to William Gibson, from Raymond Carver to Dino Buzzati, from Jorge Luis Borges to Philip Dick...
love non-fiction too: sociology, cybernetics, economy, whatever makes me understand even a little more about this world. =)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I guess everything started in May 2007, when I've been involved in an absurd "project" I invented myself following a sudden desire of change. Everything happened incredibly fast... and all of a sudden I found myself in New York City asking people to change my life. ^___^

From that moment a lot of incredible things happened and still happen!

For instance, in July 2008 I had the wonderful chance to visit Patch Adams' Gesundheit!Institute in West Virginia (USA), where I attended a Summer School on social change at the School for Designing a Society. And by the way I had my first experience of clowning and Hug Clinic. ^___^

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach some easy juggling, some capoeira and a lot of useless things.
I'd love to learn harmonica.
