About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn something everyday from others' and my lives

ABOUT ME

I like to consider myself funny, witty, nice, interesting, respectful, attentive, passionate, open-minded, easy-going, life-passionate, self-ironic, party-animal, lab-animal, travel-animal, animal. Even modest;)
But sometimes I crash on my couch and I am just normal!
Seriously, I love life in any aspects, I hate falsity and arrogance.

PHILOSOPHY

Personally I am rather for epicureism and aestheticism, but I read romanticism, I live in an exsistentialist city and I work as a skeptical empyrist!
Maybe I should oversimplify with a slogan like 'Life is short: get the best out of it!' (no, never worked for Nike or Diesel ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always available for a beer or a coffee and for showing around (a part when I am working). For a couch it depends if I am in town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met quite some CSs and host some of them. They all (no exception) share a peculiar curious view of life that makes them interesting people to share time with.

Interests

Meeting new people, travelling, music, theater, literature, science (that is a job) politics (sometimes)... I play guitar (mainly rock, blues, pop but I love also jazz).

Being bumped by my first girlfriend (when i was 23).

without it I would have never grown up! lol

I like languages: I have learnt German by mean of a "tandem-partner" (language exchange).
