About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Try to reach the new world"

ABOUT ME

In the beginning of 2018 I came back after one year travelling in South America where a lot of people hosted me and became part of my trip and part of my life.

Sono un "ragazzo" curioso e resistente alla consuetudine e ai formalismi. Cresciuto con l'esempio e i racconti del nonno Seba siciliano "rivoluzionario". / I'm curious and resistant to customary and formalisms. Grew up with the example and the stories of my grandfather, a Sicilian "revolutionary".

Try! Try! Try again!
