CURRENT MISSION

To find my Shangri-La

ABOUT ME

I love drawing, designing and building useless stuff with recycled objects. I love to undo buttons and untie knots. I love the smell of girls' skin and the sound of their laugh. I love listening to music, playing, composing, talking about music. I'm open minded and curious about anything new. I'm a VERY proud queer couchsurfer. I like the feeling of a boy brushy beard on my cheek, especially my brothers'. I like having my coffee and smoke in the morning, especially when that morning is the morning you open the window and realize spring has came. I love nature, planting trees, hugging trees, climbing trees. I'm a wannabe gardener, among the many things, and the paradise on Earth for me is an orange grove. I love piercings and body art. I'm deeply fascinated by brain structure, greek literature, old and dusty book stores and modern art. I left my heart buried in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, but I plan to rejoin it sooner or later in life. I really don't wanna feel like the Tin Man forever.

PHILOSOPHY

"I mean - what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
- you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing.
Always look on the bright side
of life!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first got in touch with the CS project when I was even too young to buy myself a beer or a pack of smokes. But as soon as I got legal, I did my best to get involved into it. I felt the same excitement of a 14 years old kid who gets the permission to have a sleepover for the first time, or to drink coffee on a daily basis (in my case the excitement was HUGE).
As long as I live with my ol'parents, I'm not able to host anyone, but I'm more than happy to show you around the city, come take you at the airport before italian signs get you lost and share life stories in front of a beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I've met many people from all over the world, like Peter from Germany, Maria from Mexico, Paulo from Lisboa, Agneta from Latvia, Kira and Stephanie from Canada, Jelena and Hanna from Germany, Verča and Jiri from Czech Republic, Pablo from Argentina, Michael from Denmark, Laura from Finland and Anna from Germany.

I 've also surfed:
- Devan's couch in Toronto
- Erwan's couch in Copenhagen
- May Linn's couch in Bergen
- Verča's couch in Prague
