About Me

Before sending a request: Please note that I can only host one person at a time. So if you are with a friend or a partner, I will kindly ask you to send a request to another host.
Also, copy paste requests are denied. Personal preference.

A mediterranean man trying to discover where does he belong in the world while enjoying his morning coffee and sunset wine.

Gave up my 10 year long career in 9 to 5 to work at a cafe. A wine taster, a coffee enthusiast, a DJ, a cinema fan, a fashion follower but most importantly, a minimalist.

I am not one of the guys who arrive in a city, leave the bag in a hotel room and stroll around, try to see every recommended place in an unnecessary rush, looking at statues without knowing the history behind them, go to a hill with a view, take a selfie there and continue. My way of travelling is more about blending into the society, walking in the streets at sunrise like I own it, finding a nice spot for sunset and enjoy with whatever I have, a friend, a drink, a thought. Sitting in a cafe or a bar just because I like how it looks, ordering something local, chatting with bartender. Viewing the city’s silhouette from the highest point. Joining the night life and spending at least one night without caring what time I will wake up tomorrow. If I am feeling emotional when I am walking around, that means I can go back in peace.

Go big, or go home.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music takes one of the biggest places in my daily life.

When I am sunsetting, I like my soul.
When I am drinking a fine wine, I like my jazz and blues.
When I am on the dancefloor, I like my deep, melodic, afro house beats and if the night allows, always have some room for techno.
When I am laying low, I like my rap and old school hip-hop.
And when I wanna go back to good old days, I like my rock and nu-metal.

If you are couchsurfing at my place, I guarantee, we will get LOUD.

Movies and TV series are another important detail for me. I mostly prefer dramas but never say no to a good sit-com or a quality action.

To sort out some of my favorite movies:

Fight Club
American History X
Babel
Intouchables
Inception
Memento
Whiplash
Valkyrie
The Departed
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
On the Road
Phone Booth

Books,

I like bold writers such as Bukowski and reading about Greek philosophy.
If I am a different person when I finish the book, that counts as a good book.
