ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiast who can tackle new things with ease and excitement.
I love take pictures, cycling for hours through countrysides, cook and eating new foods, listen live music, dance, meet interesting people and share points of view about the life and how live (in this world).

PHILOSOPHY

Always give your best because "Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use" ..so never give up!

*[Linus - di Charles Monroe Schulz, 29 giugno 1981]

Teach, Learn, Share

Cycling is one of the best things you can do in your life. Cycling to go to school, to work.. cycling for travels and holidays.. Cycling to make sport.. Cycling to look the world with the right time not too slow and not too fast!
