The guest will sleep on the couch in my room, I am going to sleep in the same room.

COMMUNICATION Surfer-Host:

To contact me, please use the Couch Request Form (Click on "Couchsurf with..."). If possible, indicate exact arrival and departure dates.

If you confirm me that you come and I do not get a cancellation notice or any kind of
follow up, i WILL leave a NEGATIVE REFERRAL on your
profile. Many CSers are waiting for couches and you
are hurting their chances by asking for couch space
and not following up (I think that this behavior it is not respectful toward to your "possible" host neither)"

WHEN DO I ACCOMODATE:

I prefer to host in the week even if I am often busy (work and school) but I can accomodate normally (I can't promise you to show you around cause I don't know if I have time for it but just ask it!), in the weekend I go almost always somewere for CS meetings or things like this (thats mean that I don't have a couch available)

I DO ACCEPT (I even prefer it) LAST MINUTE COUCH REQUEST, Send me a couch surfing request, I can read emails from my mobile phone, normally I will answer within few hours...

You can check here my couch availability:

Personal Description

My Pictures:
Pictures Picasaweb

I am an italian guy who lives since few years in Belgium.
I live here cause from this geographic position I can travel all countries around very easily! This is great!

I would love to make a traveler theater company.

I have TT passion, no , is not a car:

My main passion is Theater, I love to play, to watch good Theater and also to be director (I did already direct already something about cabaret)

The second passion is Travel!

I am a simple/complex person, I just try to adapt myself at the situation I am in.
I like Nature, I like "Equilibrium", respect for Animals (I share vegetarian ideals but I eat meat sometimes), I am Pacifist (no war, but I can fight for what I repute right)...

What do I hate:
Superficial People, people who do not think (it can seems funny but they are more than the ones who do think), Fashion , Moda, Shopping, Hunters, Squanderers,

My job?

How I Participate in CS

I made often all kind of meetings;
I try always to accept CS request,
I help the CS community in many ways (donating money, helping other members, try to bring nice persons in the community;
I always suggested everyone to be verified!;
I greet a lot of new/traveling close to me members;

I don't make anymore any meeting icause quite much local Antwerp's CSer don't like how I make it and the CS organization seem hostile to me.

I am tryng to make CS censorship-free, if you want a community where everyone can "talk" join the group:

CouchSurfing Experience

The first was in Bielefeld , great!! than in Berlin!! and then in Cologne... now I cant count it anymore... I am traveling almost every weekend with CS and I cant stop doing it!
I had super nice, quite nice, nice, almost nice, almost not nice, and no nice at all CS experiences. And, except the totally negative ones (which are also sometimes necessary) I think is important to HAVE A COMPARISON with other people, it doesn't matter whether sometimes we don't feel comfortable with someone else, I think this is the point: we have to learn to be "flexible" enough to open our thought as much as we can to get in the range on the persons next to us, and who is next to us should do the same (it doesn't work in one way! : that's the meaning of "open your door" to a surfer.

Interests

Theatre,Travel, Music, IT, Internet, Nightlife. I love to meet new people, to know things/traditions about other places/people..

Philosophy

Pace and Love!!
About the pace I can't do much (I mean: I am pacifist, but alone I cant stop the war)
About the love I do my best, I try to make as much love as I can!!

Music, Movies, Books

Movies: Adventure, Comic. (instead of TV I prefer theatre on live!).

Music: Blues; Rock, Classic Rock; Soul; Rhythm & Blues;Ska, Ska-punk; Old Rock 'n roll/pop '50, '60, '70, '80; Jazz; Classic.

About music I am a bit (MUCH) selective, I really HATE ELECTRO, TECHNO, DISCO, most of modern POP (like Eros Ramazzotti) and all think like that.. than , if you are going to go out with me , remember, I WILL NEVER GO TO A DISCO WITH THAT KIND OF MUSIC! I get depressed from it. The place I like are disco-pubs where people can easily dance and talk with no agressive music.

Singers: Fabrizio De André, Lucio Battisti, Battiato, Tony Tammaro, Punk Monital, Queen,
Books: Adventure, historical.

This is one of the gorup I love:

Types of People I enjoy

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

Since I know it, I can't stop meeting new people and all that is just wonderful!
My life is really changed since I am with this people, I am really learning how to live...

(of course this community does not give me just "extremely positive" experience, life is not made just by positive things, but I "appreciate" even the negative ones: like this there is more taste to live...

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

I meet him twice now but everytime spoke few minutes. I have good feelings but hope next time we can spend more time together and find our "inside" difference. I do appreciate to be compare to this
cascamorto but I am not (need some classes from him to learn I guess!).

Philia or agapê ? Let's start philosophy.

Positive

It was in a event request that I could not attend at the end. However Luca was in touch by CS mail and gently accepted my apologies. He seems really nice person, hope to have the oportunity to see him in concert some day.

From YI FAN

i takes me a long time to think how to write this reference. it should be negative or neutral？ the first night we arrived i felt really uncomfortable. and somehow we left one day earlier. now i think maybe we are just not the same kind of people. so i choose neutral. although i am not a that conservative girl but i really dont like to hear a joke of “sleep with me”. and i think he is not the one as the profile says. i thought he is resiponsible and very nice when reading his profile before. girls should be cautious to send request to him.

From Juli Kogan
Armentieres, France
^{Jan 29}

Positive

He was really nice, and made me feel at home. We went to a CS party together and had a lot of fun. His friend Roman was really nice too, and showed me nice places of the city. Thank you!

UD. Bad boy! :P
Okey, now I'll maybe give you some more time to prepare... take care! ;)
