I am a very easy going person who enjoys traveling, knowing new people, discovering cultures and learning from different cosmovisions.

I enjoy cooking and dancing -though as a Latin I might not be the most skilled dancer -. I love to get to know cultures through storytelling and gastronomy. About the second, I think that foods and cooking methods tell a lot about history, emotions, geography. Therefore, I love to share food with known and new people or to talk about gastronomic traditions.

I also love music, almost all types (my playlists are very eclectic, from opera to techno), but definately, I'm an 80's-90's rock fan. I enjoy music-exchange! I’m always looking for new music and bands, so I am open to suggestions!

I am a public policy practitioner and I teach health related papers at the uni, as well as languages outside uni.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Ferratas in Dolomites. I feel in heaven every time I climb a mountain!

Even if it is the same mountain, it can magically transform into thousands of places as different shades of sunlight and shadows kiss different angles.
