Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Basically, if you need shelter and you are not too fussy about a shared sleeping surface as they say on the website, I can host you. Currently i have a studio and just in emergency cases I can offer accommodation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Maybe I will have one someday. I was an emergency host for 2 times and I was glad I could help.
Later edit: My first Couchsurfing was in Tel Aviv and have to say it was a true experience with my 2 hosts for which I am very thankful. Toda!

Interests

I listen to radio. A lot. And my favourite stations are:
Fip Radio,
KCRW Radio, TeezFM, LUXURIA FM, Red Light District Radio FM.

I collect posters, typography and calligraphy books

Currently reading "Il Gattopardo" by Lampedusa and "Someone to run with" by David Grossman. One is in Italian and one is in Romanian.
