About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I believe in the social nature of human beings...in other (cliche) words i love hanging out with friends, travelling, meeting new people and listening to the stories each one has to tell. Generally easy-going and energetic, it doesn't take too much effort to get motivated for the next adventure! Always curious and restless:vital elements for remaining open to any new experience and challenge.

PHILOSOPHY

Knowledge is freedom.

Live authentically, die happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a fresher in hosting or in being hosted. I have done it before with friends, so why not officially?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unofficially sufficient, hosting friends or being hosted by friends several times.

Interests

Whatever has nothing to do with passive style of living (mentally and physically):
I love qualitative out-of-labels/frames music every second of my life, listening and producing (i play the guitar, bouzouki, and i mix). I dedicate some time in reading the news, blogs, opinions, staying updated everyday. Relaxing with a nice book is also essential. Finally, sports, outdoor activities and whatever brings me close to nature, keeping body and mind healthy.

ps: how did i forget?parties, going out, having some drinks, meeting people :)
