Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It changed our lives: we met the most fabulous persons!

Interests

homo sum humani nihil a me alienum puto

Anyway: Anthropology and human science (I told you), cinema, books, travel, music etc.

I mostly like things that destroy my system of belief. So, when everything I thought true was false, I'm happy. Or something close to happy. You are a destroyer of people's cognitive system? You are welcome.

We have a new born nephew (He IS the most amazing thing I ever saw)
We survive without a private car (we didn't take the driving licence either)
