I recently felt the need to travel and visit different countries, to open my perspectives. I think that being a couchsurfer could be the best way to come in contact with other cultures and see the cities not just with a tourist's eye, and to share experience with people who are opened to other's experiences.

I listen to various genres of music. Some examples of my favourites: Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, John Zorn, Don Cherry, Steve Lacy, Stephane Grappelli, Michel Portal for jazz music. Mahler, Beethoven, Luciano Berio, Bela Bartok, Stravinsky, Nyman among classical composers, and I would cite Frank Zappa, Tom Waits, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Fabrizio De André, De Gregori, Morphine as songwriters/groups. One of my favourite books of all times is "The master and Margarita" by Bulgakov. I've really appreciated some Murakami boks lately, then Kundera, Salman Rushdie, Oliver Sacks, Isabel Allende, Daniel Pennac, Vargas LLosa and many others, I'm a big reader! Recently I've started to appreciate poetry too, thanks to a friend of mine: Pessoa, Szymborska, Bukowski, Pavese. Abouts films I really like some directors, like Woody Allen (I'm a big fan, I've seen almost everyone of his films ;)), Kubrick, Tim Burton, Alexander Payne, Almodovar, Miyazaki. If I have to chose a relaxing movie for a relaxing night, a comedy is always funny. And one of last years' films that became part of my top ten is Boyhood (even if lots of people say it's boring, it really isn't, just beautiful!).
