a simple person who doesn't take himself too seriously and who likes visual arts, painting, cinema, philosophy, literature, poetry, jazz, humor, laugh, beer, the sea, seafood... and who also have his daily dementia times, like anyone.
In another life I would wished to be a porn star, or an olympic athlete, or a terrorist, or a goldfish... But I failed in becoming anything of all this. So I'm trying to experiment and find what I can be in this life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I remember once in a course at the University of Philosophy with Dr. Fathi Meskini (a leftist thinker) he said a nice sentence: "The Ethics of Globalization (it means the ethics we should attribute to globalization) is Generosity". However he was talking about people (anonymous people) who take care about to scan entire books and publish them on internet to be accessible free of charge to everyone... When I discovered this website, Surfcouching, I immediately thought about this sentence. So I am here to contribute with you in this globalist generosity (as I think it's also a way to build a common alternative globalization), but also to meet and exchange different experiences with authentic, passionate ... and why not crazy people.
"They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes: Awww!" (Jack Kerouac, "On the road")
