About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover" Mark Twain

ABOUT ME

I am a writer and film festival programmer on the road. I decided like many others to pack my bag and travel the world for a year or two. It was always my dream but took me bit longer to follow it. I like to get to know new places, different cultures and finding out in the end we are all the same humans.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover" Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like many here, I also think couchsurfing should NOT be an alternative to a hostel. It is about the experience, meeting new people, share ideas, learn new things...
I hosted and surfed, and I met some wonderful people in the process. I only accept requests, when I know I will have some time for them, to show them some parts they would not find as tourists, so they take away good memories of this place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

last Sunday I flew a small plane!! (last Sunday 4 years ago now)

watched the Northern lights in Iceland and chill in the Hot springs

skydiving on my own

By some coincidence I am in charge of a little independent cinema, where I can show movies to people. I trying to create a movie experience with a little life show before the movie some shorts, introduction and discussion.
