Karaoke, beer and nature lover.

Super curious and open minded. I love to be surprised by things that i didnt see or experienced before.

I´m a lawyer with a Phd in law and lobbying. (But i´m not boring, trust me :] ) Sometimes i need to pretend that i´m very serious because of my job, but im not :P. My main fields of interest and expertise are lawmaking, open government, citizen engagement, lobbying, advocacy, and transparency. I really think that i can help people to change the world showing them how the political system works and how to hack it for the common good.

I apply to academic conferences all over the world and i use them as an oppoturnity to share knowledge, meet new people and amazing places. Scholarships help me to do that, so most of the times i'm traveling on a budget.

I discovered allready that fancy things/places are not the best in the world. The most amazing experiences that i had in my life costed me nothing or just a little. I´m allways hoping to colect more of this kind of treasures when i´m traveling. Local´s tips are allways the best for this.

I love to answer questions. Any kind of questions. But i cant resist to ask a lot too... i´m very curious about culture, people´s plans for life, why they do what they do, explanation of memes and other silly things ahhaah.
