Traveling, so not hosting at the moment.

Born and educated in the USA, in an Italian family. Maybe my head is American and my heart is Italian. Have both nationalities, have lived and studied or worked in 19 countries on 5 continents. A patriot of Earth.

PHILOSOPHY
"Know thyself" and "above all: to thine own self be true" But, these things were a lot easier for the Oracle and the Bard to write than for us to do :-)

"If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get to other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own." - Henry Ford

"I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." - Etienne de Grellet

"Every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him."ۥ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I like anything that makes me think, sparks my imagination, shows me something new, gives me insight... But, sometimes I'm also easily entertained silly things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing up waterfall after waterfall until far up into the tiger reserve and then on the way down, jumping from the top of the falls into the pools below . If you fall while at the difficult rock climbing parts, you only fall back into the water.
