About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have a lot of missions and I try not to miss them

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not very long ago,I made my first trip with couchsurfing: I travelled the south of Italy and I made very good experiences... Besides that I participated at a coupe of CS meetings in Zürich, which I all really enjoyed.
Inicially I got introduced to CS by a friend, who convinced me to become a member of it. Then I forgot the CS community a bit. After that I went travelling and I didt´t think to much about it neither.
Then an other friend of mine went on a travel with CS and told me about it and of how great it was. From then on I really wanted to make some CS experiences abroad myself too.

Interests

Travelling, meeting friends, music, going out,literature, history and philosophy.
Besides that I try to do some sports, I was quite sportslike for while...
I play the guitar and the bass, but it is the same as for the sports: I like to do it but often dont find the time to do it, what I have actually done since then.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading literature like Mann, Kafka (one of my favorites), Heine, Hoffmann, Musil, Kleist... But also french writers like the symbolists, such as Mallarme, Bodelaire, Proust or Gautier; but also writers like: Flaubert, Zola, Maupassant, Giono... At the same time I startet to learn italian, so that I would be able to read italian literature, what I have acutally already begun. I realy like Manzoni or Italo Calvino. I specially admire the quality of how the language sounds in Manzoni´s texts

I like to listen to a lot of different styles of music, but especially to Jazz, "chanson" stuff like Serge Gainsbourg, some classical and some traditional music as well... I like to dance to electronical music. At the moment I am interestet the recordings of the guitarist "Wes Montgomery"...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lived both in France and in Switzerland. So that you can actually learn lots of me about those cultures and also the languages: French and German.
