ABOUT ME

Hey Chaps, Aloha! Ciao Belli, Kia Ora!First of allThe English translation of my name is Flowering Serene Little Bears.GRAWL.During my childhood I went to Italy,( supposed holiday) and ended up getting back to London only three years ago. During this unexpected 12 years-long vacation (you wish) I studied fine arts, design and of course Italian.I used to live in a very small mountain village on the Appennini Woodlands - there was nothing but trees, birds, venisons, wild boars.No TV, no Net...Yep...just that!Back in London I had to put the wilderness-of-my-soul well on hold and embrace a busier scenario in which & for which I have lost not only my way, but also 40% melanine & 80% neurons.The good news is - I'm still alive and trying to act normal.
(((((UPDATE!!!BACK TO ITALY!!!BRING IT ON MAN!!!)))
In fact I'd like to see the greatest wonders of the world before I die and incorporate as much cultural knowledge as I can,life really is a great journey.I believe that we are what we eat so nurture yourself with good stuff dude and hasta la victoria, viva la vida and have fun *****LATEST NEWS**** Flo the little bear is back in the italian woodlands!YEAH

Interests

I am a quiet person.
I love listening to people stories, pitching a tent, building a fire, picking and eating wild berries.Reading, writing, cooking
In short, doing exactly what human beings used to do millenniums ago.
I love walking near lakes or rivers, daydreaming and contemplating the great outdoors, hiking or whatever will get me to very remote locations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New Zealand IS EPIC. Spectacular cruise on the Milford Sound (Fiordland), scenic drives & happy cows all around the country, plenty of literally breathtaking hikes and tramps to go for, immaculate Parks
If you go there and fancy a long ride in the wilderness make sure you check out The Otago Railtrail (Canterbury)
What a life changing experience!

Saw the Northen Lights whilst flying over Siberia...Stratospheric WOWs!

Had a mystical moment when the Maid Of The Mist hit the Horse Shoe water wall, Niagara Falls

Spent some delirious time chasing a mirage lake in the Western Sahara desert, Egypt

Went on a hot-air baloon trip over The Valley Of The Kings (Luxor) and had to assist an emergency landing due to a passenger's diarrhea attack.Yuck Indeed.

Fell in love with Japan's daylight

Saw a triple rainbow over Dunedin's roofs NZ

Watched the sun eclipse

Caught the death of a star

Got swept away by the beauty of the Basica di San Marco, Venice

Had a naughty ghost in my room

Had my cat eating lettuce

Got lost in the woodlands

Met a wolf at the bus stop

Escaped from home
