About Me

CURRENT MISSION

no mission, just let things happen

ABOUT ME

I like:
cooking for myself, cooking for my friends, cooking for everybody, my weekly soccer game, listening to people, to nibble the baguette in my way home, the little time I spend every morning in the coffee shop, sincerity, simplicity with a touch of complexity, beauty(mostly the non obvious one), going to the market a saturday morning, the Simpsons, movies that catch my attention about everyday life without any need of shooting or killing or going to dangerous jungles, good food, unexpected meetings in bars, unexpected meetings everywhere ... cooking, have I already said that?
I don't like:
to open some plastic bags, feeling stupid when I know I'm not stupid, computers, people having a lot of nerve and who is even proud of that, appearances( whenever there's nothing solid behind them), mediocrity that becomes fashionable...OK, maybe i'd better stop here!!

PHILOSOPHY

behaving in a way that lets me sleep well every night

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to show around people and give them the opportunity of having a glimpse of the real city where I live. This is also my main interest when travelling abroad; I very much appreciate the time I've shared with other CSers around the world.

I've met several couchsurfers in Ireland and Japan and I've had excellent experiences with all of them.
