About Me
CURRENT MISSION
explore the most I can within the limits of this life and within the sensibility of exploring
ABOUT ME
I am Italian and I am studying Psychology at university (2nd year). I am easygoing and very chilled, I can adapt easily and I am interested in meeting new people and share experiences. I have a strong interest in neuroscience, especially in relation to psychiatric illnesses. I am very curious and I like to experience different things and meet interesting individuals :) I like traveling: I've been to many European countries (camping with friends and also with family), I've been to the U.S a few times and I lived in Houston for 5 months when I was 17 as part of an exchange program. I was hosted by a Mexican family and therefore I have also visited a few places there.
PHILOSOPHY
despite the uncertainty of an ability to affirm the world via the mind, and in face of the impracticalities of doubting everything...I would say that it may be best to question the constraints of certain thoughts and modes of life...in order to increase a maybe useful state of awareness (again, if that itself is possible):)
Interests
I like reading because I like to expand my knowledge of many different fields (especially since a university degree comprehends a quite narrow range of disciplines). I like to cycle and to discover new places. I know I am Italian and I should highly honor my nation's cooking traditions, which I do to an extent but I am still a quite clumsy amateur!

Music, Movies, and Books
at the moment I love reading Italian witty books...because I love the poetic nuances of the Italian languages and because I find it easier to understand (compared to English), I like books that talk to me and give me an unusual prospective of life, for example I found steppenwolf (Herman Hesse) quite intriguing, I also liked 'the invisible cities' by Calvino, I love the theoretical marriage of philosophy and science and I enjoy reading biographies because I am interesting in having a look at how people individuals deal with their lives from a psychological point of view!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had the pleasure to meet very interesting people and in some cases build powerful friendships, I explored secluded corners of Italy and many other places around the world (but enough places)! I did an exchange program when I was 17 in Houston (U.S.) and was hosted by a Mexican family which was an interesting experience
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to learn anything that can somehow enrich me :)
