About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Still trying to launch a community farm project...
ABOUT ME
OKay,
life is strange, sometimes... you've been running for years in one direction, and suddenly, one day, you wake up and wonder: "what am I doing, actually ?"
And so I decided to change the direction of my life. And what I considered a foolish dream is maybe becoming my true life.
And I've never felt to be so close to myself.
PHILOSOPHY
Definitely downshifter.
And as a guideline for everyday, the 3R:
Respect yourself
Respect the others
Responsability
Failing is not the problem,
the problemn is daring to try !
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Don't be afraid of being slow,
just be afraid of being at a standstill
What is not given is lost
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
CS is just wonderful. Till now, I had only GREAT experiences ! I look forward living in my own home again to welcome more CSers !
Interests
I'm really interested in people who try to develop their autonomy, in any sector : food, education, energy, transport... Collaborative initiatives, instead of competitive attitudes are also in ym focus (CS is a good example...)
- cats
- education
- dining
- cooking
- running
- teaching
Music, Movies, and Books
== BOOKS ==
# All Baricco(especially Seta, Oceano Mare, City) - Tabucchi (Sostiene Pereira, Notturno indiano)

# All Sepulveda (and particularly Un viejo que leia novelas de amor, and Diario de un killer sentimental).
# A book I read a million times: Cyrano de Bergerac (Rostand) unfortunately impossible to translate - you would loose the magic of its words !

# I also like G. Salvatores' movies (Io non ho paura, Mediterraneo, Nirvana). and as other italian movie, Respiro is just wonderful.
