About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit Tristan da Cunha and the Inaccessible Island

ABOUT ME

I was brought up by a huge family between cups of coffee, Dalì illustrated books, The Police's records and ancient greek myths. So now I'm an art historian in love with classics and with a serious coffee addiction ( now I'm also into mate A LOT!) , who likes to think of herself as a Spirit in a Material World.

I love talking (I can't stand "yes/no" people), sharing knowledges, art and food. I kind of like cultural clashes and I'm always interested in feminism and female empowerment.
I try to smile a lot, but sometimes I could become really melancholic.
I believe in love, always. And in curiosity.

I'm completely crazy about art and historical stuffs. I'm also interested in crime stories, dinosaurs, and surreal events. But, all in all, I can consider myself a sceptic. A big one.

I like distincitive features and nuances because I like to think that the sense of life is in details. Why being radical? Everything is so relative.
