I like to get excited or melancholic without special reason, I always remember faces of people, I forget names, I lose gloves and umbrellas, I dream about the sense of the world and I forget it immediately after waking up.

PHILOSOPHY

learn and teach yourself through others.
every real meeting constitutes the universe again and forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by living in the moment (I'm trying)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

always positive, sometimes profound

Interests

the details of life as the touch of the absolute. the gesture of an old lady in the tram. the smell of a new printed or a very old book. the touch of the warm fur of the cat lying in the sun or the cold snowflake melting on your hand. drowning in somebody's eyes.
