I am a freelance journalist trying to live off my words. Most of the time dying off them. I am a dreamer. And often a disillusionned drunkard. I like to learn from people, from places and from life. I am open-minded - being a strange dude myself. Always marveling at everything around. Which doesn't mean I'm stupid. Just enthousiastic, let's say. People usually don't hate me.

Musica, film e libri

Cendrars, Nicolas Bouvier are among my favourite writers, along with a lot of others... Also Henry Miller - wise genious to me.
Non-sense crazy road movies and absurdity in general is what I like to see on screens. Let's quote Y tu mama tambien, Fear and loathing, La grande bouffe, The wackness and so on - could take ages.
My ears can be delighted by all sorts of noise, from electronic music, to cheap pop, jazz, or hip hop, soul, or anything, as long as it sounds like it's honestly crafted.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Living between the Amazonian forest and the Atlantic ocean is what I do now. Working for a newspaper in Senegal has been a crazy job. Traveling around India has been so great that I did it twice. Except for that, hitchhiking from Brussels to Berlin without money, road-tripping through six countries within a single week, sleeping in dead factories, tramping, wandering...

Insegna, impara, condividi

Can ride my bicycle without hanging the handlebars. Can cook delightful French food and almost play the sitar. I also have secret skills which wouldn't be secret anymore if I had written them here.
I would love to learn to play the trumpet like Miles Davis and to walk on my hands - ideally the two at the same time.
