ABOUT ME

Hi, I am a kind and friendly Italian girl, which pretty much grew up on books and dreams of seeing the world. I am always looking for new people to meet and new places to explore. I like to talk about everything, but I also enjoy listening to other people very much, so be prepared to lots of questions!

PHILOSOPHY

Le radici sono importanti, nella vita di un uomo. Ma noi uomini abbiamo le gambe, non le radici, e le gambe sono fatte per andare altrove... (Pino Cacucci)
Roots are important in a man's life. But we have legs, not roots, and legs are made to go somewhere else...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always willing to share my books and dvds: I love it because after we can share opinions...
I enjoy very much doing massages on other people. It relaxes me!
And we can share moments: experiences, fun nights, interesting conversations, cooking...
You can teach me everything you want: as a very curious person, I want to know pretty much everything about everything :)
But there are some things in the top list:
-classical music(I know nothing about it);
-the cooking of your countries;
-sketching;
-riding a bycile properly;

but again, I am open to everything you propose :)
