Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was born in Rome as a Couchsurfer in my 20s(!). I hosted many people there and I was hosted too around Europe. Then I went back to Bogotá and oops I did it again there for a while as well. Many years later in Montréal, I was back in business once again. And now in Calgary (from Spring'25)... I wonder what else to do (insert emoji of face thinking). 😜

Music, Movies, and Books

Paul Virilio for this kind of topics - Paul Aster - Milan Kundera - Young writers - Haruki Murakami and many others. However, I like more contemporary and modern literature.
All kinds of movies, but I like better independent ones. Also the good and curious stuff of film directors in music videos, video-art and documentary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Lima, Tikal in Guatemala, hiking in Yosemite National Park in California, San Andres y Providencia Islands in Colombia... being a teacher...I'm getting old and my memory's getting weak.
