About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Actually I want to see the whole world, quit my career in IT and since few years (and for the rest of my life) I've been developing skills to make me able to live almost everywhere

ABOUT ME

I think it's very hard to describe a human being. it comes to be a mission in case you have to do it with someone you know as good as yourself.
Too may things you would say and still too many you're missing.
I like to explore people's personality, knowledge and background, being confortable with the aspects that fits me and tolerating the ones that doesn't fit. keeping in mind that there's always pretty much to learn from quite everyone's expreience.

I always try to live my present and think of the immediate future. not worried too much about long-term projects, as life is changing fast and all the different cultures I use to explore are always changing me.

De Sade said that the only mission a human being have to perceive is to have the perfect knowledge about himself. that's a bit extreme but still a good challenge.

PHILOSOPHY

I spent part of my life in catholic school, studying all the aspects I realized all the inconsistencies then I can say I'm not catholic.
I believe it's hard to embrace other religions which I didn't grow up with.

about personal philosophy I thik you can extract some from above.
