About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ethical Psychedelia

ABOUT ME

...SLOWLY UPDATING THE PROFILE:)

PHILOSOPHY

It's too complicated to write it here. A friend of mine defined it partially once as the "Law of the minimum effort".
I'm an idealistic, using often phylosophical "categories" to understand life matters.
Sometimes i forget the power of the irrational, or undervalue it, but i haven't stopped in recognizing its importance.
I'd like to learn to manage internal energies.
I believe that all we learn should be used as well not to lose the ability to judge, to criticize, to promote what we believe in.
Intellectually against omologations and the growing sense of indifference towards everything. I believe in diversity and not in the widespread loss of interest coming from the fear of looking inside us.

Yea, well..
At least, i try to put all this nice inspiring words in front of my way of life.

Staying in the society, not escaping from her: just being in it in a rock and roll way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking for the second-third-fourth..experience in couchsurfing, both hosting or being hosted.

Interests

I'm a lazy bastard, in a good way.
I can go out until next morning at 11am, walk hours in the middle of the nature, no problem.
But don't expect me to bring you shopping in fancy shops, wake up at 8 to behave all day like the classic hated tourist type, nor to experience how nice is indoor rope-climbing, neither to sunday church at 10am.

I'll be very glad to welcome instead passionate old music listeners, enjoyin to pass easily hours with its sound, discussing about genres and bands.
I am a passionate reader, and i adore conversations on literature, styles, poems and writers.
I've been practicing sport for most of my life, i love anything related with water, sea (but Salamanca and Turin have only rivers). A soccer or a basketball match among friends is always fun. As a good italian, anyway, i enjoy a lot only to watch sport being played, in tv or stream internet.

I'm pretty flexible-minded and very very curious, so i generally welcome any future stimulating interest.

But most of the time i read, for pleasure and for duty, books about politics, foreign policies, economy, development, indipendent publications.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having discovered travelling, all the rest came itself.
