Find it difficult to write things about myself.

Hmmm two things I could see myself doing: political philosophy and film directing. Would like to do both but maybe one at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like being on the way but I hate staying in hotel rooms alone. I've made great friends, some lasting ones as well, had meaningful conversations this way.

Interests

Anything that could maintain my attention. Good films, well-written books, theatre, galleries, cities, good conversation...

Major passion would be film, literature and philosophy.

• arts
• politics
• movies
• philosophy
• physics
• cosmology
• aesthetics

Music, Movies, and Books

I spend most of my leisure time with films and books.

For quite long my ambition was to make films, maybe still. I love films and enjoy a lot of them. Two names came out first are Wong Kar-wai and Theo Angelopoulos (Eternity and A Day is my favorite of his. The sorrow at the end of life depicted in the film is almost unbearable). Others like Bela Tarr, Ingmar Bergman, Kubrick and many others.

I feel sorry that I buy far more books than I actually read or I ever will. I grew up reading fictions of all sorts. Now I read none-fiction as well but I think novels are still my favorites, for its capacity of absorbing you into a different time, different life and the poetics of so doing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had some great experiences. With certain degree of ignorance and recklessness I went to Paris alone without any plan nor places to stay. Stopped random cars and stayed with people. And crawled catacomb for eight hours with a group of Parisians I met on the street and found a night club down there, with music on and people crawled there from different directions. Was amazed.
