About Me

ABOUT ME

I am like a meerkat: often sprightly, though also sometimes kind of slow, too. Don't know if I am searching for something; when I have found it, I will know. I like to travel in the couchsurfing way - that's the best way and full of surprises. Sometimes enthusiastic about very small adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So useful!

Interests

I am studying Religions, a course that never looses its hold on me. Life and Thinking are full of myths, rituals, metaphors and synesthetic, slightly transcendent moments...

I like to write, to play theatre, sometimes I write my own plays get them staged. I am also interested in making films.
