About me... Well, I'm a passionate guy who enjoy the little details of life. Cinema, music and photography are my trinity. One of my dreams is to make truly honest films that connect with the lives of others, this is one of the reason why I like to travel, because it open my mind to new horizons. I'm always seeing, hearing , tasting and feeling carefully everything around me. So in me, you'll find a person who really care about you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the next month and a half (12.02 - 21/03) I'll travel around France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Czech Republic and Italy. I think this is a fantastic way to meet, share and learn with new people, it's a great cultural exposure, a whole new adventure. It's exciting to be part of such a great community.

Interests

I'm particularly interested in know different cultures and life stories from persons around the world. For me traveling is one of the most rewarding experiences of life, not only allows us to rediscover ourselves, but also expand our minds to new horizons.

Filmmaking, photography and music are an important part in my life. One of my recent project, It's a youtube channel where I share music videos that I make with found footage. Check it out: https://goo.gl/PyhNQC

When I travel I only want to capture a part of the reality of the places I visit. As Henri Cartier-Bresson said "Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event."

Also, I love to play guitar and ukulele. Everyday I jog for an hour or so, it help me to start the day with the right foot. I'm not a master chef but I like to cook tasty food.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a huge part of my life, I don't imagine one day without it. I like different genres, all depends on the mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Inspired by Jack Kerouac's On the Road, on the summer of 2015 I traveled alone around all the US west coast.

Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.” ― Jack Kerouac, On The Road.
