Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy this amazing world through its people!
ABOUT ME
I am an Italian traveller who made the once in a lifetime experience of traveling 1 year around the world!
351 days, 3 continents, 17 Coutries, 20kg (on my back) thousands of km and hundreds of... landscapes, plants, food, animals, perfumes and, above all, SMILES shared with extraordinary people. Quitting my job and traveling for one year were the best choices of my life!
PHILOSOPHY
Always thinking with my mind, having no prejudices at all. I love talking, but I am also a good listener. Be respectful and polite. Enjoy every precious second of our life.
