About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conquering the world

ABOUT ME

We try to enjoy life to the fullest, in all its aspects: food and cooking (especially for friends), drinks (preferably with some interesting conversation), italian espresso coffee, travel, dancing and making music ... and we like to share all these things with others. We are quite social, outgoing and ambitious in a relaxed way.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, and try to laugh as much as you can while doing that.
Be open, tolerant and polite but don't let anyone walk over you!
