Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Know more people, offer my knowledge and help about places I've been and obtain help from others!
ABOUT ME
Adventurous, intellectual sometimes, nature lover, good listener, good talker too, traveler... Uffff, I think is very difficult to describe myself, sometimes I am a bit extremist, I mean I like things that sometimes could be opposite among them.
I am honest and open minded, like to make jokes all the time, I try to live every moment even when I know it is not easy.
I love my profession, as a communicator I deal with a lot of disciplines, like PR, Ads and marketing. I am the Marketing Manager for a TV cable and internet network and being in charge of the corporate communication is something that excites me, there is always something new to do and to learn. I meet a lot of people from different backgrounds and that enriches my life.
I have an intellectual side, but also a very shallow one, a more relaxed phase of myself. Scuba Diving is one of my passions and that's why some years ago I decided to become a certificated instructor, I worked in the Caribbean an also in the Pacific. Diving next to sharks is the best!
I love art history and reading about it is one of my hobbies. I speak fluent Spanish and English; Italian at a conversational level and currently I am learning French, that I already speak at a basic level.
Anyway, it is difficult to describe myself, if you are interested just ask me.
PHILOSOPHY
CARPE DIEM
If I can't do well to others at least I won't do evil.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Leave my comfortable and "secure" job and life in an office to become a professional diver, it was very scary to take that step, but I would do it again, it's been the most extreme experience I've lived. (swiming with sharks and jumping from a plane, it's not that great, hahaha!!)
Teach, Learn, Share
Use social networks to meet people who can give you tips about their own countries.
Don't pay too much attention to what others tell you about hazards of certain places, sometimes if you don't risk you lose the chance to experience incredible cities, towns or whole countries... of course, use your common sense but BE OPEN!
