About Me

## CURRENT MISSION ##
Doing some funky dub music and finishing my master

## ABOUT ME ##
I am Claudio, a smiley, easygoing, positive lad.

I was born in France and lived there for 5 years, that's why I'm "considerably" used to a French language background.

Couchsurfing is not a classic accommodation website neither a search engine of "Places to stay" (check Airbnb, guys... It's fun!)
Couchsurfing goes beyond that... It's about human beings, culture and social interactions. Please, let's all keep that in mind! :)

## PHILOSOPHY ##
I try to celebrate life everyday... learning new things, pushing myself a little bit and understanding how to adapt myself whatever the situation.

"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless.... like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - BRUCE LEE

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a foreign movie enthusiast.
From Andrey Tarkovskiy, Akira Kurosawa... And also K-dramas, yaaaas!
Within the american scene, Scorsese and Lynch are great.

Can't really think of a TOP 5, but listing some that somehow changed me: Okuribito (Departures); The "before" trilogy; L'Auberge Espagnole/Les poupées russes/...;

Quoting the legendary artist called Moodymann (Kenny Dixon Jr.)
"I play a lot of music.... I cannot fuck my girlfriend the same position all the time. So, what I'm trying to say is.... I listen to different genres. I don't just listen to rap, I don't just listen to techno, I don't just listen to house... I play everything" :)

Burial. Could name dozens of musicians but it's boring. Currently digging the LO-FI house stuff! If you're also into it, I love you! :D
