About Me

I am an active, curious and open-minded person, always interested in meeting new people, from several different cultures. I like to travel and to discover new places in the world since i was child.
My personality is particular, because I am both a bit shy and a romantic person.
I love practicing sports such as swimming in the beautiful blue Sardinian sea but also hiking or skiing in the mountains. I like playing boardgames with friends, especially investigatives and dungeon crawler games.
I am a voracius reader, particularly of mistery books (Sherlock Holmes and Poirot are my favorite characters), classic books (Dickens, Tolstoj), fantasy books (Tolkien) and sci-fi books (Asimov, Dick).
I like a lot music, both listening and playing (I played cello when I was teenager, and classical guitar, later).
I love watching movies, but usually movies not very committed and relaxing, such as Star Wars, Lord of The Rings, various cinecomics.
I am very interested in the Eastern culture and movies, even complexes ones, particularly from China (Zhang Ymou, Jackie Chan) and Japan (Miyazaki).
Finally, being a biologist, I like science.
