CURRENT MISSION

To learn how to remember names at first sight (and change the world, of course)

ABOUT ME

My favourite free-time activity is having a chat with my old friends, in front of a glas of good red wine or a beer. They make me reload.
I like to speak with almost every people. When I'm in a good mood, I'm the kind of person who's talking even at the bus stop to the next person. I'm very curious and I'm always interested in the ways every single is living their life. I find amazing the possibilities we have (at least in our rich part of the world).
Apart from that, I like the 'thinking people': with this expression I mean people who cares about what's going on, about the others, the environment and so on.
Sometimes I'm lazy, and I like to have a kinda slow-down-day; sometimes I'm extremely active, especially when travelling. I like going to concerts, theatre, salsa dancing, pubs, restaurants, excursions, museums... etc etc. I'm not a big fan of discos, altought I may occasionally go.

PHILOSOPHY

People above all: lovers, family, friends, Earth-mates.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the Nordsee, on the North-West coast of Germany, I waited for the tidal current to take back the sea, late in the night with some music. There the difference between low and high tide is 9 Km: it was absolutely charming to see how the very very little wave could flow a wide gulf.
After that, I had my first pre-CS couchsurfing experience, because I didnt know that hostels in that area closed at 11pm and a girl almost picked me up from the street...

Teach, Learn, Share

To teach: I think I could teach Italian language and maybe some basics of Italian cousine.

I would like to learn to play guitar. I'd like to learn to sing too, but I think this is a mission impossible... :(
Then I'd like:
- to learn to dance Flamenco, salsa and tango...
- to learn to cook international cousine...
- to improve my Spanish, English and German...
- yoga and oriental spiritualism...
- ... an around a thousand other things!!!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Cuba, Egypt, France, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
