About Me

***UPDATING April '16***
Now I live on Lamon, close to the mountains. With a friend of mine we manage a restaurant.
******

I work for a no-profit cooperative in Padova: social housing and job-support services for people in need. I like my job, but for the future I hope to have a job that allows me to travel, see many places and meet so many people!

I use to go out with friends, read books, discover new music, watching movies, go to concerts and big party looking for anything interesting(concert, events, shows,ecc), kayak on summer, snowboard on winter, ...

I love to cook italian's dishes for my friends and drink wine, beer, ...
