*** IMPORTANT ***

• I only accept ONE guest at a time.
• You must have a working phone with either a local SIM or an international data plan as I can't wait for you to find a bar with wifi (not many here) or some rando lending you their phone.
• Please, DO NOT send me friend requests without a reasons, without a message or a request. I'll refuse them.
• If you can't send me a request it's because one or more days are already busy with a surfer OR I'm not hosting at the moment. Sending a private message won't magically increase your chances.
• I do NOT like football, so no football related requests ("Let's watch the match/go to the stadium!").
• I live in a highly multiethnic district (mostly Arab and Latino), that gets a bad rep from certain people and might surprise people from country with very low immigration from non-neighbouring countries (yes Visegrád countrries, I'm talking about you). Forewarned is forearmed.

I am a freelance translator specialized in video games, which I also enjoy playing. I also love live music, trying new food, observing insects and experimenting with generative AI.

I have a taste for the unusual and for black humor. To me nothing sacred, especially the sacred. But I won't offend your religion if you don't bring it on the table.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I have endless strange and wonderful stories from my CouchSurfing experiences. From the time a guest tattooed me, to the time someone, in two consecutive days, built simulacra of a person in my room using random objects (got photo evidence), to the countless amazing meals and conversations shared with fellow travelers. CouchSurfing has introduced me to some of the most interesting and genuine people I've ever met.

If you're one of those who claim surfers should avoud hosts which predominantly had female guests, I won't try ti make you change your mind, but know there can be lots of reasons for this. In my case, I have more female than male friends in real life and my hosting style reflects this. I have no problem hosting guys, provided that they don't engage in typical locker room subjects like football, car and such.

Centres d'intérêt

If you share my love for black humor, red wine, and dark music, we will certainly get along well. And if not, that's okay too - just bring your cooking skills along, and we'll have a great time together.

I don't have social networks anymore - sorry, got mostly rid of Meta crap, except for a Insta page I don't manage and check anymore but I keep as it a memory.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Music: http://www.lastfm.it/user/Luciferasi

Books: well, many. I'm mostly into horror/sci-fi, but also comedy. I love alternate history. You know, the "what if..." stuff.

Movies: let's talk about this.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Witnessed the final days of Czechoslovakia's (not yet Czech Republic) Velvet Revolution in 1989.
Watched the 1999 total solar eclipse in Salzburg.
Went through the Nineties without being a Nirvana fan.
Tidied up my spice cabinet (SEVERAL TIMES!)
Learned enough Georgian to survive in the country without using too much English.
Survived pandemic IN NORTHERN ITALY.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you:

- to cook a risotto and to make tiramisu.
- to say "starch" in Lithuanian.
- to tell a female from a male praying mantis.
- to pronounce ყ (a Georgian letter, kinda like stepping on a toad).

I'm willing to learn recipes and anything you can teach.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

If I have time (i.e. I am not working) I can show you around, cook something Italian or Georgian, the usual stuff hosts do. I can also give you a less stereotyped view of Italy. Something a bit beyond the "best country-best food-best coffee-best lovers" predictable litany.
