About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"The world is like a book and those who do not travel read only one page."

ABOUT ME

Before anything: i ALWAYS read a person's profile before sending him or her a request, so, please. do the same. You don't have to write a 100% personalized request, but at least some part of it. Just something that lets me know you did read my profile. Thank you.

[Due to previous experiences (and they keep happening) i tend not to relate (neither host nor surf) with CS people who are 21 years old or younger. If you think you're an exception, convince me through your profile and your request.

It's a statistical issue. People under that age have been jerks with much greater frequency than people above that age.]

I like to see new places and meet people from other cultures.
"The migrants are the windows through which we see the world" (Vilém Flusser)
I think the same applies to travelers, in general =)

PHILOSOPHY

I hate ignorance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a salt mine in the middle of romania.

Well, i was nearly ran onto by a horse, in Prague, while staring at the astronomical clock.

I was into some crazy musical game, in which each person would do a sound he or she felt like producing. That took place in some street in Berlin, at 4.a.m., in july 2009.
