CURRENT MISSION

not let myself be sucked into a routine of regular life

ABOUT ME

It is not difficult to make me happy, I enjoy life as it comes. I take great pleasure in little things, little pleasures of everday life, as they say. A daisy always makes me smile, sunrays kissing my face keep me content for the rest of the day. A playful dog on grass running after a ball makes me instantly happy (I'm actually a little obssesed with dogs, especially French bulldogs rock!). Quite simply, I love life.

I'm driven by my childhood dreams of tracking wildlife in remote areas of the globe, and by my less childhood urge to do something about the fact that the world is being run in a terribly unjust way, without respect for people and nature.

Disclaimer: If during a conversation with you I get distracted by a dog/bird/insect/possibly child running past and start making inarticulate happy noises, please, don't be offended! It's stronger than me and happens to me regardless of who I'm talking to!

PHILOSOPHY

To live your life out of the will for living, not the fear of dying.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I make my couch available whenever I can, and then visit others :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Quite a few.

Interessi

Life! as for its particular aspects: nature, ecology, scuba-diving travelling -learning how to make it more responsible,bird-watching ,sketching/painting, swing dancing. Oh, and languages, that's a big one. (currently learning Indonesian)
People. And other animals, too

I enjoy learning about art, history, culutures and civilizations, but I seem to have very short-lasting memory for these.

I love long talks late into the night, especially when accompanied with a glass of red wine.
