CURRENT MISSION

Having the time of my life, meeting new people and learning as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

Hey you! Nice to meet you, I'm Caterina.
I'm a 25 year old Italian girl living in London. After graduating from my Bachelors in Languages and International Relations in Italy (during which I had the amazing opportunity to study in Michigan for 5 months and in Russia for one), I moved here in the UK where I am now doing a Masters in Gender and trying to enjoy the city as much as I can!
I like to get out and do stuff, but I also love to just spend a lazy afternoon in, watching movies and doing basically nothing. I drink an obscene amount of coffee. And tea, but mainly coffee.
That's pretty much it, I guess.

PHILOSOPHY

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww". - Jack Kerouac
