About Me

CURRENT MISSION

cycling around the world, collecting dreams, writing my 3rd book.

ABOUT ME

If you’d asked me when I was a kid what my dream was I would have said to travel and to take a picture of every single corner of the world.

Took me 34 years to remember it but I'm now finally doing it...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

help travelers to help your traveling karma... Hosting, surfing along my travels

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

used to be great, I don't like much how CS has evolved in the last few years, in fact I switched to Warmshowers but I still use this whenever I can't find a host there.

Interests

Spin on my toes in the middle of an empty street at night.
To light candles in churches leaving no offer.
taking pictures. Semiotics. Psychology and dreams. Art and artists. politics but not politicians.
independent movies, horror movies.The Cinema.
The smell of the cinema, the que to get pop corns at the cinema. The trailers before the movie. Holding hands, share a tear with a stranger. Smoke a cigarette while talking about the movie, whatever weather condition outside The Cinema right after the Movie.
Silence.

swimming with fishes, dancing with fishes.
Irony, the fire place, my birthday, parquet floors, the lake in the winter, sexy blues, la Sicilia, trains.
to spend the whole day in bed making love, watching movies talking art, smoking and drinking wine.
a tree house. Dario Argento, Dylan Dog, Gothic Cathedrals. Unexpected gifts.
Old medium format cameras. Phones that are only phones.
Playing with fire. vintage clothing, crazy parties, cook gnammy things, chat & wino. Pizza&beer,edamame & sake.
laugh, happy/hippy…the smell of the air after the rain, the smell of an old book. Getting lost in a city I've never been to. Give sexy looks to strangers on trains/busses going the other way. everywhere. Not knowing. All animals, some people.

Music, Movies, and Books

easier to say what I don't like: Movie filmed on planes or anything with Jeniffer Aniston in it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

All those moments...

will be lost in time...

like tears...

in rain...

Time to die.
