CURRENT MISSION

Travel and living around the world in slow motion

ABOUT ME

I really love travelling, meeting new people and taste their way of life. I'm a traveller, not a tourist. I want to meet people, talk with the people, live with the people!
I love animals too, so I'm vegetarian.

In 2011 I left my home and my job to travel around the world without flying. Why?
Because I like to give back space and time the value and importance they deserve. I want to live a reality that changes when I pass by it, day by day, in all its nuances: natural, cultural, social.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day as if it were your last, because one day you'll be right!

"Fatti non foste per viver come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza"

Travelling
"The world is like a book, those who don't travel read only a page"
St. Augustine

Computer programming
I wanted to be a programmer since I was a little child.
I started my first programming experiments on my Commodore 16 when I was young. It's been my hobby for many years, and now I'm glad I'm having professional experience on it.

Listening music
"You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars." (August Rush, the movie)
Period.

Playing musical instruments
When I was a child I spent some years in a private school learning piano and now I'm taking guitar lessons.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

- The "Camino de Santiago" in Spain: Guys, Girls! You have to do this experience soon or later in your life.

- I quit my job, I left my house and I sold my car to follow a dream: A travel around the world without flying.

- I cross the Atlantic Ocean on a cargo ship, from Spain to Brazil. It took 17 days and it was an awesome experience.

- I covered more than 10.000 Km on my 50cc motorbike traveling from Ushuaia (Argentina) to Lima (Peru). Three months filled of good (and bad, of course) memories, new friends and great adventures.
