About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet, learn, enjoy, share, experience and travel....

ABOUT ME

I am endlessly curious.
I love genuine and simple. Respectful and kind.
Besides this, I'm not sure. You'll tell me.

PHILOSOPHY

I doubt therefore I am.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
Love to meet people and get a glimpse of human complexity.
The further your way of life is from mine, the more you think differently, the more interested in I will be.
But like-minded people are welcome as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love the opportunity to meet local people in their own place and town.
Definitely changed my way of travelling.
What's better than that ?

Interests

Meeting people... meeting curious and enthusiastic people... and wandering.
Maps, roads, riversides, crossroads, coastlines and winter beaches.
Architecture. Urban designs. Sculpture. Images. Visuals.
Noise of the city.
Coffee and tea under the sun.
Sacred places.
Debord's dérive and situations.
Mountains and forests. Silent nights.
Waking up in new places.

Interested in humanities, arts, philosophy - everything enlightening. Existentialism.
History and Geography of every place I set foot in.
Lifesytles and traditions.
Languages.

Wondering - still - about what's the best way of living - what's the right balance between theory and practice, sedentarity and nomadism...
