ABOUT ME

I was, born and bred in Sicily where I graduated in languages and literature. I moved to London in 2014, where I was working as photographer and Retoucher. After a 40 days long hitchhiking trip around Central Europe I lived between London and Barcelona. In 2020 during a round the world trip I got stuck in India, where I stayed, met my wife and lived for 2 years! We're moving to Barcelona and then we'll see where the road takes us
