CURRENT MISSION

Learning, discovering, loving, sharing....

ABOUT ME

My friends describe me as a very fun and energetic individual :P I love science, art, people, travelling, partying, partner dances, life ... I seek for knowledge and adventure in every aspect of my life. I love doing all the things I love (eg. my research and tango) but at the end it's all about sharing it with others, learning something new or having a positive impact.

Travelling is for me is not much about 'visiting places'. I see life itself as a trip with an unknown destination, where you need to enjoy it 100%, learn from it and try to contribute to it by helping your fellow travellers...

I believe in travelling and cultural sharing, also as a means to promote equality, diversity and tolerance. I think people normally have more things in common than what they would expect, and if not I find that's a good starting point for discussion. I love meeting people with different lifestyles, mentalities and viewpoints; I feel that it makes you grow as a person. In general, I think we can all learn from each other, even about ourselves.

PHILOSOPHY

'Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.' (Bertrand Russell)
