CURRENT MISSION

to keep afloat in this madness called life.

ABOUT ME

erratic is me. most of the times i'm chatty and love having conversations about useless stuff. or i'll just sit quietly and look up words in the dictionary and learn uncommon words. when i have lots of money, i go shopping. i like getting drunk, especially on wine, rose being my favourite. which is when my company gets really scintillating too. oh, i like funny people very much - but the humour has to be wry, witty (not slapstick), irreverant and self-deprecating. i prefer dogs to cats, red to white, coffee to tea, vodka to beer, money to poverty, brit bands to american ones.

PHILOSOPHY

if not now, when?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by checking my mail everyday, hosting other couch surfers when i have place at home and meeting over a drink/coffee whenever i find time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

quite nice. have met some of the craziest lot here. it just gets better.

Interests

vague kind of stuff...hypothecating about impossibly absurd situations, spoofing well-known songs and singing off tune, making really funny cocktails, making imaginary travel plans which sometimes turn real, untying others' shoe laces, painting bottles, looking up funny words in the dictionary, thinking up wicked schemes, making stupid faces in the mirror, does all this count?
