ABOUT ME
UNTIL DEC 2015
My goal right now is exploring south east Asia, with my girlfriend Clara. Now it is almost 6 months we are been travelling.
We are now in Indonesia, Sulawesi island.
We are travelling cheap, slow, often volunteering, to better know the people, society and tradition of every place of this amazing and strange Asia! We dont have a return ticket to come back home, just because we dont want any limit and... you never know!
Now it is almost 6 months we are been travelling in Asia. We are now in Indonesia, Sulawesi island.
I am an engineer and Clara is a psychologist. I left my job and now I want to explore more, inside and outside. We love to work with kids, and we are volunteering as much as possible!
We are travelling with 2 guitars..we are not musician but we play with the heart!
WE WANT TO KNOW YOU!
OLD PROFILE (4 years ago)
I am a 25 years old boy, open minded who likes to try new things, discover new places, share ideas and meet people.
My goal of the moment is to live in a more social way, with more contact with nature and eploring my spirituality, like living in a rural community! I have already done it but I want more :))
Well, I will write just what it comes up from my mind, like a flow of thoughts..Since I was a teenager I always thought that stay still, pretending to be satisfied with what we have, not opening the door of your mind, it's like living a fake life, it's a waste of time...So at the age of 18 I run away from Trapani, too small and static. I went to Rome to study, then Norway (I wanted to live somwhere really dirfferent) initially for Erasmus, but I stayed there for 3 summers to work as a fishseller and souvenir seller, meeting workers like me coming from ALL over the world (maybe u dont know but u really take good money working there...), sharing with them experiences, languages, emotions, dreams and ideas. Then came back in Rome I understood that I have to continue travelling, living abroad, to understand more, to live more, to see more, to taste life more and more. And doing that I am always feeling good with myself. I think that even if you dont know what u like, you can feel what you like. Well, I don't know why but I love to travel! But travelling for me is not visiting places for few days. It's living there! It's knowing people that lives there, that live like their society want them to live, and then compare with me, with my way of see the stuff. You can find a place in the earth where people eat dogs, or worms. When I was a kid you learn that they are not food. But the, when you see people enjoying eating those stuff, thinking it's normal for them, well, you will understand the meaning of food, the idea that is UNDER the concept of food that we learnt. I want to apply this way of discovering truth and life to everything, from jobs to love. With the aim of beginning of discover the world of an engineer, I applied for a stage in Toulouse, where u can find lot a jobs in the engineering field. Well, I worked in a reasearch laboratory, I didn't like them...but I love Toulouse! Full of young peoples, full of life, big and small, u can go by bike everywhere (ah yes I love go biking), nature not too far, I decided to stay there for some other months after my stage, working part time and studying for my last exam. And I decided that I will stay there at least until May 2011, after taking my master, working harder to earn money to travel... My concept of working "hard"? well working ad much as you can with something I like (probably not engineering stuff then!), trying to understand with job I like, what I am searching in a job, but never forgetting to live. Always having time for a beer, for friends, for people I dont know. My main objective isnot money, but is discovering...what am I looking for!? I am sure life can give me everything, too much stuff, but what I really need to be happy? Well...now I believe emotions...emotions are the more important things in life. Too general? Yes! And it's right, maybe you can find emotions in every place in the world. But every place in the world, at a given time, can give you only some limited emotions, you will listen to the same kind of music, you will meet the same people, you will see the same sunset. Those things can be wonderful, can provide you some wmotions, but only some kind. They are limited. You fell the same thing listening to rock music or classic music? I fell great when I listen to music, but every song make me feel something different. I want to discover all those differences...all those hidden and far emotions. And to do this I believe you have to change your sunset....travelling not visiting. Deeply discovering new things, not only seeing them from the outside. What make me feel emotions most? Nature, music, people. I do excursions, I play and listen music, I talk with people. Always having my heart open. But I am still feeling a rookie in feeling emotions. I am an engineer you know? I was bealiving that what we are good in, we automatically like. I am good in math and I was pretending to like it. But I discovered it wasnt true, and I began to focus on things that I FEEL to love, not THINK to love. Nature, music, people. What I doing now is to discover more about those ones, but I want also to try other fields of arts, like poetry and painting....somebody said me that they can provide you emotions...well the last time I read a poetry was in high school...and I thought it was useless. At that time I was just thinking , not feeling...
