ABOUT ME

If I don't play the blues you'll probably find me playing chess or cooking italian food.

PHILOSOPHY

"Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is THE BEST"

- Frank Zappa

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some great experiences surfing in germany, slovenia and macedonia! I'd love to host someone, so feel free to ask me!

Interests

I'm a music lover. I'm always surrounded by music, mostly funk, blues and golden age hip hop. I love to play the guitar, piano, harmonica, beatbox, or whatever instrument (or item) you give me. Summer is my favorite time of the year, staying outside all day long, playing chess and table tennis in the green and bring sandwiches for my friends.

I like.. to discover new places and meet nice people, to watch football or a movie starring De Niro, to cook for eight people or more when you didn't have the chance to go to the supermarket and need to improvise, a jam-session with friends and some beers, to find a record I've been searching for years at a flea market for only a dollar, taking the metro in paris and Mario Balotelli.
