About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reading every godamn book I can get my hands on, reading about anthropology (which I'm going to study) and making songs with my friends.

ABOUT ME

I love making/listening music, reading , always try to write one thing or another but can't seem to finish it. I've accepterd live is short and that it tends to be wasted. I try to attack this problem head on. Or so I think.

WORLD-VIEW
''But it was too late. He had angered Providence by resisting too many temptations. There was nothing left but heaven, where he would meet only those who, like him, had wasted earth.''
Fitzgerald, in ''Russet Witch''

I don't quote books in real live, so if you find this annoying don't be afraid. I do sing along to songs. Just saying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed and I have hosted and I loved it both. It's a great concept for it can only be here because of the curiosity and kindness of others.
I like hosting better, and when I'll live near Amsterdam in a couple of months, I expect to host much, much more.

Interests

Music, books, movies, gaming, religion (not religious myself though), photography, history. And the Vlogbrothers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking on the broad New York avenues while the city is coming alive in the morning. Beautiful.
Seeing a gospel choir sing in Harlem almost made me a Christian. I cried. A little bit. Don't judge me.
A 6-7 hour walk through the parks and streets of San Franscisco. Only the music of The Band helped me survive that! And the views, that too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am still developping. Don't rush me! I can make killer french toast though.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you nothing but myself, you should be the judge whether that is enough.
