About Me

CURRENT MISSION

eat the biggest orange i've ever seen!!

ABOUT ME

I enjoy exploring new places, new streets, new aspects of viewing things, i enjoy finding out 1000 ways that could produce the same outcome, or finding out the one way that I could result in 1000 different things. I enjoy history and prehistory and philosophy and art and nature and science and the desert and the Scottish hills and the cacti and architecture/structures of any kind. I like eating and i like playing with my food. Socially i think i'm quite an easygoing person, my flatmate tells me that I cannot stick to any plan, and also i know of myself as being always late. I like going out for a walk and a cigarette. I like walking and chatting. I like smoking and chatting. When i'm in Glasgow i like dancing to disco a lot, there's this basement club where if i cannot get any sleep i will go and dance surrounded by ppl who are a good few stages drunker than me. I like olives and tahini. I like cacti. I like being by the sea and open landscapes. Quite into freeganism too.. I love most music, and love playing music, but i've been getting quite rusty at the latter lately. Most of my past work experience is of being a waiter, however now i'm translating.

PHILOSOPHY

"My hand feels touched as well as it touches; reality says this, and nothing more"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to host people whenever possible. I normally prefer sleeping under a tent or the sky, but when situations are not suited then the CS community is the best place to be!

Interests

At the moment i'm interested in developing in the subject of my studies. I am also interested in finding a way to have a steady income by living creatively. I like having people aroung me and sharing a good time and communication with others. I'm interested in meditation/eastern philosophy/practices. I'm interested in perception and the formation of our belief systems.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not many movies, if u would ask me i would probably say a few directors that i used to like 10ys ago. I would like to watch many Pasolini movies. I would like to watch more artist films and i would like to make short films myself.
I love music, any kind of music. I love music to dance to, greek music, middle eastern music, music from all over the world. I like pop, jazz, rock, hiphop-u name it. I like easy music, emotional music, minimal, electronic, ambient, experimental, noise. Reggae makes me happy and disco gives me a big smile. I hate ticking clocks in the bedroom and i love voices of people from the street.
Books: really slow reader... the past 4 months i haven't finished reading yet 'The Story of O' and 'Working on Yourself Alone', i read the first 10 pages of the 'Exodus' and i actually finished 'Recipes for a perfect marriage' :) .
