About Me
ABOUT ME
---- As for now, late 2023/young 2024 hitchiking all the way from Australia until Spain ----
I love trains and some latin words like 'lungimirante', 'companatico' and 'sobremesa'. Interrails (real ones and not so real ones) were the first attempts of travelling, and then I met my second love, thumb. Through hitchiking I found a lot of adventures and unexpected situations, a no-plan kind of life. South America was a big playground that taught me how to live very good life without money.
Some years ago I met my third love, bike. The biggest travel was from Barcelona till Turkey, but then once in a while I need a little time to ride mountains and roads in the two wheels in new places!
For casuality of life, some years ago, an old man left me and my friend an incredible cozy house in the valley outside Barcelona, in exchange to mantain the garden, the house and the pool. We started a permacultural garden, bought hens and through the help of friends we manage to keep everything alive and well. Meanwhile I played in a big balkanic band (Fanfarrai), do some impro comedy theatre and a folk techno project about metropolitan megafony of bcn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-ph9lNKD8Q)
When I travel, I bring with me an old Zenit camera and an instrument, generally some little string one. I finished cinema university in Italy a long time ago and lately I've been writing articles and stories and hope to follow to something bigger.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
