CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every single minute of life through the people I meet on my way

ABOUT ME

I am a nomad, a born-to-be a traveler, a free spirit. It is hard to hold me in the same place for more than few days. I am always full of enthusiasm to pack my stuff and leave for new destinations. Full of new ideas, energy, I do not seem to be able to stop ever. Despite feeling very attached to some of the places I've lived before, and to the people who were part of my daily life in that place, I have not yet put down my roots anywhere... perhaps, I just have not found yet the place to stop 'forever'.

I love getting in touch with people from everywhere in the world. My daily life is a continuous mix of European and African cultures, Latin American music, Asian food... I would like to share all this with you!

PHILOSOPHY

"The mind is like a parachute - it works only when it is open"

"Cercare la propria identità nel passato o la propria realizzazione nel futuro è pazzia. Per essere sano, il focus della tua vita deve essere il momento presente"

"Das Glück muss entlang des Weges gefunden werden, nicht am Ende der Strasse"
