Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
trying to understand if we're programmed to be cocky about the supposed boundlessness of our conscious knowledge or if we're just that stupid.. so far i think we're both, including me for even believing i could "actually" ask myself these questions...
so i guess my actual mission is to eat good food, travel the world, get high, and the most important thing.. connect with people. we're so beautiful and diverse.. we just forget to look at each other sometimes.. enjoy life in the breaks between one mindfucking thought and the other... :)
ABOUT ME
i like travelling, meeting new people and cultures and blah, blah, blah... if you really want to get bored, buy me a drink, maybe in a place with some good live music, and (depending on how strong was the drink you bought me) i'll tell you "all about me"...
oh i know i look cocky, know-it-all, wiseass, etc..
but after 2 glasses of wine i'm a teddy bear :)
PHILOSOPHY
"..human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution, we became too self-aware.
Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself.. we are creatures that should not exist by natural law.
We are things that labour under the illusion of having a self,a secretion of sensory, experience and feeling,
programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody.."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
sharing moments with people and curiosity should be everyone's reasons to wake up in the morning...
so i´d be glad to host people from wherever and show them around and talk about italy, cause the ONLY way you´ll understand something about this fucked up beautiful country is through an italian.. otherwise is just pure chaos and a bunch of empty stereotypes ;)
and of course i also like to be hosted by locals who are willing to share their cultural insights and to connect on a human level.. cause that's all travelling is about for me.
Travelling without meeting local people has no meaning..
for every other kind of travel there are postcards...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
i think the idea behind couchsurfing actually reflects the essence of the real human experience.. it´s just a little bit sad we need a website to "share" experiences

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
sleeping in the white desert, living in new york, the overwhelming smile of a blind girl during orgasm, travelling around little villages in cuba, coast to coast on route 66, car trip on the west coast in mexico, watching a 13 years old kid crying when he got a fucked up 3210 nokia, watching a 13 years old kid crying to get the brand new i-phone, watching aurora borealis in tromso..
Teach, Learn, Share
"if you're going to try go all the way, otherwise don't even start. This could mean loosing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days, freezing on a park bench, it could mean jail, derision, mockery,isolation...
Isolation is the prize.
All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.. and you'll do it, despite rejections and the worst odds.. and it would be better than anything else you can imagine.
If you're going to try go all the way. There is no other feeling like that, you would be alone with the gods and the nights would flame with fire.
You'll ride life straight to a perfect laughter.
It's the only good fight there is"
