ABOUT ME

a badger with a gun

PHILOSOPHY
there are only three things to die for in this life:
- liberty/freedom of speech and thought
- visual and audial beauty
- adventures.
(and it's never too late to become a pirate)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I'm kinda in a place where I can't really host at the moment because I'm travelling, but I hope that one day when I'll settle down, I'll be able to host others as well :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't hosted or surfed myself yet. But I've met some really decent couchsurfers and they seemed very nice.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: well, I like dramatic music with nice lyrics (think Amanda Palmer), actually I love many styles of music, be it metal, or folk music, or something with trembling guitars. Definitely, Pearl Jam.

Movies: I adore sci-fi and fantasy films. I'm a geek and a nerd, I guess. I like to watch films that are strange and creepy, crazy or old and good ones. Recently my three favourite movies have been Jodorowsky's "Holy Mountain" (1973), "L'Auberge Espagnole" (2002), and "Noviembre" (2003). And I would always be glad to re-watch "Into the Wild".

Books: H.Miller's "Tropic of Cancer", Henri Charrière's "Papillon", Kerouac's "Dharma Bums", Card's "Ender's Game", anything by Tolkien, Dawkins, Hitchens, Douglas Adams, S. King, etc.

Oh, and I love stand-up comedies. Especially anything by Dylan Moran, Eddie Izzard or Tim Minchin.
