ABOUT ME

Nobody (especially me...) can tell in which mood I'll wake up, in any case I try to share the best I can with other people. Telling a funny story is always nice to start wirh, isn't it?

I like to listen to people, know their experience, learn something about different lifestyles... It's so incredible how many ways men and women can choose to realize themselves. Or tend to, at least. And I feel like I have experienced so few of those ways.

I like changing, I suffer from static situations. My thoughts have to move, my eyes have to wander over new scenes, that's the way I can feel good.

PHILOSOPHY

Fragmentations

(OK, I'm still working on it...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offered a place in the past, now I can only offer some of my time due to the typical Japanese size of my flat. I hope to go back to hosting soon though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted at my parents' house in Italy and my small flat in Dublin, met and travelled with people in Japan, went to CS meetings. Always found nice people, from all over the world, some of whom I am still in touch with. Which is amazing if you come to think of it.
Actually if I have to pick up one good reason to couchsurf is that one can find new amazing friends that could not be found otherwise.

Interests

Traveling (needless to say), wandering around unknown cities, museums, live gigs, beers, ethnic food, comics, biking, bookmarks,...

Music: I love the extremes (maybe not only in music), be it jazz or grunge, 70s rock or singer-songwriters, but rarely like anything in the middle.
