ABOUT ME

Im open-minded easy-going and funny guy. Eager to get in contact with new people from around the world.
A nice way to travel at home is to have visitors from other countries. Im a traveler who loves meeting others travelers.
I love to be with friends, meeting people, traveling, reading and playing soccer.

I spend most of my time with the people I love (friends and family) talking, having some drinks and eating barbacues!

The last 7 years I have been traveling around Europe, north Africa, South America and Asia. I also lived in Ireland for almost 10 months and in Greece for 2,5 years volunteering at a refugee camp.

Based on the first year of my trip I did a movie playing soccer around the world, if you want to watch it and know me a bit more, you can go to my web site or just search "keep traveling, keep playing" in YouTube.

Nowadays, I use my time to work with refugees and migrants, volunteering in different project, from camps to sea rescue organizations.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the present choosing every day where I want to be and with whom!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering for more than 3 years in the refugee crisis.

Every single travel has something amazing! But if I have to choose a place to have incredible experiences is India. India i think is the most amazing place on earth! I acted in Bollywood, i did Buddhist meditation courses (vipassana) and I had been in 2 wedding parties! People is so lovely! I will definitely go back there soon!
