I'm an optimistic, extrovert person, I love meeting people, spending time with those around me, telling stories and jokes and listening to others' life experiences.

What I like best is learning and trying new things. That's why I love travelling!

PHIL'S-OSOPHY

· Have a good time, live in peace, pursue happiness.
· If life eventually becomes a collection of memories, build every present moment so you can look back and proudly say 'Yes, that was my life, and every second was infinite, and it was full of passion.'
· When it's about a friend, it's never too late for a coffee, never too soon for a beer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I'm quite new to this website, I've spent most of my journeys 'surfing' among friends and friends' friends. I think it's the best way to meet lovely, exciting people, and get to know new places from an authentic point of view.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like any type of music, just according to the mood and the moment. I could not conceive a life without it. Wish I had my own soundtrack!

I could not pick a sole movie. I love cinema and above all TV series: most of the time I wait until the end of the season so I can see all the episodes in a row!

Existentialist novels if I feel catastrophic, essays if I feel philosophical, or poetry if I feel inspired, and of course books with a lot of pictures, because I'm an architect and sometimes I can't stand so many letters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Singing the Mozart's Requiem in a big opera house, choir and orchestra all together. Feeling the air and the stage itself vibrating to the sound of music.

Once I got to lick my elbow. Really?! No, just kidding, no one can! --give it a try yourself......... see?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer just the little that I know, but I'm willing to take the much that is out there waiting to soak in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talk, laughs and fun, stupid useless anecdotes like the elbow thing, and not maybe more useful but more beautiful experiences collected through my life.

If only I was a better cook, I would also share some recipes, but right now I guess it wouldn't be the best way to repay you as a host. One of my main pending issues...
