About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live and let live. being happy and giving happyness to people

ABOUT ME

I'm a filmmaker freelance. As a documentary director, travelling is part of my work, I'm always searching for some good story to tell: people, cultures, places, journeys.
I started to travel when I was a child: my parents had a motorhome so I used to go with them in summertime everywhere in Europe and north Africa.
My first lonely trip was at 14 years in Ireland for a month with a bicycle, a guitar and no money at all. Since then I started to travel for many countries all around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

love, love, love
smiling
respect
patience
"carpe diem"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can rarely host because I'm almost always traveling...
...and because I'm traveling I need often to be hosted!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I slept a lot of times on friend's couches during my life but I never surfed...
Thanks to a friend I discovered this site and now I see that there are many more people like me than I thought!!

Interests

Cinema, visual arts and photograpy, music, sports and extreme sports, martial arts, life in nature... peace and love :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

ehm... too long to explain.
But during the last month I couldn't stop from listen the unplugged in Sweden of Chris Cornell. And I sing very loud with him every time I drive my car...
