ABOUT ME
i am a Gemini....this should tell you enough about me, if you trust the horoscope.
I have been for many year a boy-scout, so i guess i am a good boy. Just stay away from me when i am trying to iron my own damned shirts (need some more training from Mamma!), that's when Mr Hyde comes out....
I like singing, music and listening to nice stories...oh, and discussing about politics and how to save the world!!!
PHILOSOPHY
1- A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. (Heinlein)
2-"live so sturdily and Spartan-like..." (Thoreau)
3- Panta rei (Eraclitus)
4-give a chance to everyone
5-do not take things too seriously, except the few very important ones
5-all this philosophy is killing me...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am glad to help travellers, if they need a couch for a while. it would also be nice to show them our little city and its many "osterie"
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
till now definitely a good experience: all the guests i had have never made me regret to host them and i am having tha chance to meet many interesting people!
Interests
Nature in general: mountains and forlorn peaks, deep woods, trees, caves, rocks to climb, snow&sun, crampoons biting ice, alpine creeks to jump in, an approaching storm, thunders,the lagoon, swimming in the sea at sunset, running clouds...and few good companions to share all these things!
Swimming, hiking, canyoning!
Reading..whatever i find interesting, from latin poetry to Stephen King, passing through Omar Kayyam, Latouche and J.Kugy!
The ancient world, its history and archeology...i love ruins, am i mad?!
Arts and beauty of all kinds: paintings, architecture...i don't think it's boring at all to spend a couple of hours in a good museum!
I LOVE discussing, sharing ideas (and also quarelling, why not?)about politics, environment and all the issues that shuold matter to who cares of the society we live in. Sometimes i take action as well, but not enough!
Last but not least...country line dance!! simply too funny :-)
