ABOUT ME

I am happy, positive and I like you whoever you are!
I really believe in peace and sustainable development. I think that one day all the people of this world will be citizen of one big nation without any kind of limit and border for their body and their minds...

"A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it's not open" - Frank Zappa -

Sometimes I think to much. Sometimes I am stupid. Really. This is bold. The most of the time I must move or I get crazy! Always I want to get surprised, because when you are shocked you assimilate more. Oh oh I was forgetting, I always try to find an explaination, that NEVER WORKS...NEVER. Universe doesn't have an explaination and probabily it doesn't need one! We do! But that's funny anyway!
Sometime I am so sensitive that you could kill me with a look, other so strong that you couldn't kill with a knife. Metamorphosis is so seductive and at the same time scaring. I think that seeing several different things is the only way that we have to exit from our minds and to live a better life and that's why I am curious about everything. I like so much talking about mind, philosophy even if my English level makes it difficult for me and that is another reason that leads me to travel... Ok...if you could reach this point, you deserve: let's stop with this philosophical treatise. You did it.
That's the prize:

I travel like St Christopher !
You are the hardest of hardcore travelers, and may one day be our patron saint. There is no challenge that is too much for you, but don't get crazy, because you are not immortal...yet.
What type of traveler are you?

PHILOSOPHY

I think that in this strange period people are quite crazy...
“A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?” - Albert Einstein -
Laws, economy, money everything that goes bad...and even people are so scared about everything, they all are suspicious. A whole world with 7 billions lonely men. But I really don't understand why!
It is everything so easy: "don't make the other people what you don't want to be made to yourself" and I even think that this way of producing and think only to produce "without asking to yourself why" will bring us to the extinction, but I also know that future will reward all those people that are fighting to change things...remember "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." — Gandhi -
and for all those that think that it's impossible consider that:

"EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT SOMETHING CAN'T BE DONE AND THEN SOMEBODY TURNS UP AND HE DOESN'T KNOW IT CAN'T BE DONE AND HE DOES IT." - Albert Einstein, yes again -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In this moment I have no possibility to free a bed for someone but I hope to provide to this problem soon...xD
I live in a tiny one-room little house with my girlfiend and we have just one bed.
By the way I love my city so if you are here around call me and I'll let you see it like only a inhabitant can...I have a car and I can drive you wherever you want I can even invite you here at my home for launch or for a coffee!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2012: I answered a travel companion request on the forum. The idea was to reach North Cape from Stockholm hitchhiking...and it was! There we were hosted for 2 days and then back again hitchhiking to Stockholm!
----- SIMPLY WONDERFULL -----
I've joined some CS community events and I was exciting! In general, I met lots of Couchsurfer and I am going to do that until I'll be dead...maybe even after that! Would you like to surf my coffin!?!? There should be space enough!!

Interests

I like music (I'll write this more times) and cinema, walking into the nature and I love to see "other ways of living".
I like music...every kind. I love talking and listening obviously, arts every kind!
I like quotes...maybe that's easy to understand reading all this.
I love learning! What? EVERYTHING!!
I like when you see something and someone can explain you what you are looking at.
Ohoooo I was forgetting...I like stories, tell me about your most absurd travel, your incredible experience, everything out of the ordinary and let's create legends!
Finally I like music!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock, blues, jazz and even a little bit of classical music. In this moment I am getting crazy due to The Muse, I love Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, Ben Harper, Radiohead, lots of Italian Music that maybe you don't know. I love cinema too much and I will not stop listing all my favourite movies, but the first that comes to my mind now are: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Gattaca, Stanley Kubrick's ones, science fiction in general...I study computer science after all
Watchmen, V for vendetta, Miyazaki's animation films...etc etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made lots of things in my life, becouse I my looking for my self. I did an Interrail, I was at sziget festival in Budapest, I made a long trip in Africa with a little experience of volunteer near Djombe in Tanzania. I travelled the south of Italy with a friend in a truck, sleeping, cooking and other in it! I went rafting, kayaking and swum in artic ocean...etc.And many other things...but the most important I will try many other things!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very good in maths and computer science, becouse I am studying now for my master degree (second level I don't now the name in English). I am mother tongue Italian and I am always improving my English. I am good enough in playing drums and percussions and I can do loooooots of other things especially practical ones, I can cook Italian foods, too ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have no problems with anything in general...this doesn't mean that I can do everything, but that everything can be discussed. I think that everything can be asked...but also every kind of answer is possible. xD
