ABOUT ME
I recently finished my education and looking for inspiration and new ideas for my future and I am doing it by traveling and looking for a diverse kind of life experiences.
I think of my self as an open-minded, brave, positive and romantic person. I am trying to open my heart, to become a better listener and be true to my self.
I feel that nothing is fixed, also my nature changes constantly.
I enjoy nature, meditation, trekking, good company and good-healthy food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The first things that come across my mind when I think about the most amazing thing I've done:
working for the United Nations,
enjoying the wonderful nature while walking part of a pilgrimage route in Tuscany,
taking pleasure by feeling the fresh air on my skin and looking at the stars above me in a night of end summer in the picturesque town of Rio Maggiore (Cinque Terre).
