About Me

ABOUT ME

First of all, when I come to your place I will care about being a polite guest, with all the needed respect of your house and lifestyle.
I'm a nice guy, really friendly and funny minded, with a lot of interests in sport, art, music, literature, cinema but also history, philosophy and all the human matters.
I like to share my opinion with other people and I really love to spend my time confontating my wiews with other people.
I'm a journalist ad a writer, I like to narrate and communicate my experiences to people with my same interests from all over the world.
If you host me, expect a good companion, an open minded mate and, why not, a skilled italian chef for some good dinner in your house.

Interests

First of all my job: I'm a journalist and a writer, I like to write about everything, fiction or non-fiction, for job or just because it makes me feel good.
Im my life I'm trying to experience the more I can, expecially in arts, sport and everything that means life coulture and fun, so I love to talk with pro or amateur players, writers, painters, designers, musicians, photographers, chef, naturalists, life survivors, directors and much more.
I've been travelling for study and for fun, playing as an amateur dj, working as a co-chef in italian cafeteria and wine bar.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many things and I like to find more and more.

I started to know music with hip-hop, reggae, ska and dub; now I'm exploring blues, funky, punk, latino, electro, ethnic, folk, etc... in general I think I can appreciate any kind of music if it's made with passion.

About cinema I started with the masterpieces of directors like Spike Lee, Tarantino, Kitano, Gilliam and the Monty Pytons, Tim Burton and more; in the last period I'm exploring directors like David Linch, Von Trier, Jodorowski and the italian Gabriele Salvadores (don't ask me the link among those artists, sometimes I just go random where my curiosity brings me).

Books: when I was a really young kid, I used to read a lot: adventure books, travel-story, western, all the classical kid ones; then I started with something found in the "adult" shell and this was how everything began...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Word champion in subbuteo a.k.a. table football when I was 19, It's all documented in wikipedia ;-) find my name on it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach, and obviously learn as well, something about cooking, drink mixing, art and philosophy, edonism and living without stress, maybe something related with modern technology or practical skills, "grandmother hints"... whatever
