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...)

Music, Movies, and Books

== BOOKS ==
# All Baricco(especially Seta, Oceano Mare, City) - Tabucchi (Sostiene Pereira, Notturno indiano)
# John Irving (The world according to Garp, ...) - Philip Roth (The human stain).
# 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 !

== MOVIES ==
# my favorites: Bagdad Cafe - Fried green tomatoes - Little Miss Sunshine. Could watch them again and again.
# I also like G. Salvatores' movies (Io non ho paura, Mediterraneo, Nirvana). and as other italian movie, Respiro is just wonderful.

# misc. : The attack of the giant moussaka, Babel, Yi-yi, Devdas, The indian family, Brokeback Mountain, ...
