I consider myself a very optimistic person because I try to see every situation from a positive perspective. Life is short and the future is uncertain, so we should appreciate every moment, even the unpleasant ones. Adventures often arise from mistakes and disasters, not from things going according to plan.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Traveling is my passion. But traveling isn't just new sights and new experiences. It's also about the people you meet, the experiences you share, the new worldviews you encounter and the friendships that last forever. That's where Couchsurfing comes in.

Musica, film e libri

Any music you can thrash about to! à la Slayer, Overkill, Suffocation, Vital Remains, Svarttjern

Any movie whose soul hasn't been vaporized by commercialism. e.g. Apocalypse Now, 12 Angry Men, Jan Svankmajer's Faust

Any book that transports you to a new world. cf. The Malazan Book of the Fallen, The Wheel of Time, The Dark Tower

I've also got a soft spot for Baroque music, Swing and Classical literature (i.e. Greek and Latin).

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Just recently I went hunting with traditional eagle hunters in Kyrgyzstan. That was pretty amazing.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach you how to make a chainmaille necktie or how to fence with a rapier.
