About Me

CURRENT MISSION

looking for stimuli.

ABOUT ME

Okay guys, what can I say..I'm an active person, I love diversities and spontaneity and I hate cliché and mainstreams.
I often need to give a change to my life, sometimes little sometimes bigger.
I need new impulses.
"Looking for stimuli" means that.
I think life could offers a lot, and I want to taste as much as possible. I love to meet new people because they are usually the best source of stimuli.
I can be quiet and I can enjoy solitude but I love conversations and confrontation. I love the meeting among cultures, I love to learn and discover, I love adventures and coincidences.

I think everyone can find his own solicitations in different ways, I look for them mostly among people, but even reading, watching a good movie, doin some sports or at the bottom of a good glass of wine.

PHILOSOPHY

method:
analysis, logic reasoning and solution!
okay, not always perfect.. :) But I like to understand what surrounds me and not entrust myself to case.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted by Christian and other people while I wasn't a sufer yet.
in the summer 2009 I had my first couchsurfing experience being hosted in Moscow by two wonderful ladies!
During the last years I've had many other cs experiences, hosting and being hosted, and they were all good and positive!
People is awesome.

Interests

Recently i've been very much into dancing. Jazz music, rock and roll, lindy hop, boogie woogie..

every kind of sports, I'm constantly playing rugby touch (touch football). But I love football, basketball, tennis, climbing blablablablabla.

I love adrenaline experiences like bungee jumping, rockjumping, parachuting, hangliding or rafting.

I love watching movies and I love reading. I like to read everything so I can't say my favourite genre. I loved Q by Wu Ming, Dumas books, Zero Calcare comics, some classics as the Picture of Dorian Gray, Lord of the Rings, but also a lot of other fantasy books or japanese mangas let's just say that I love life, its variety and all what it has to offer! there is a lot to do..
