I'm into reading and writing, I love walking along a quiet road waiting (or not) for a lift. Food is a big thing. I spend hours reading maps. I don't really know who I am (but my House is Hufflepuff)
Around 18, meeting up with Jack Kerouac and Chris McCandless pushed me on a bumpy path that hasn't ended yet
Sometimes I go backpacking around the Middle East. Sometimes I'm having ascetic experiences. Sometimes I go summer-working as a bookseller in my hometown. Sometimes I'm settling down in the cheapest hostel in town to start writing projects. Sometimes I sit and focus on my breathe. It's all about 'sometimes' hey...

Interests

Words, maps, writing styles, sādhus-dervishes-hermits-wanderers, ud songs, lost history of my hometown's districts...
I love to draw imaginary maps
Any beauty that life, landscapes, people, stories may offer
I'm also curious of all fights for a better life. Anti-fascist fights, anti-racist fights, anti-speciesism, self-management, feminism, LGBT rights, self-sustainable eco-communities...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been a monkey once. Living in the branches, owning a lonely kingdom inside the jungle, swinging and partying thru the trees on Cape Verdean rhythms
But I turned into a human again
