Architect into sustainable solutions, mainly focused in slum upgrading and earth and bamboo construction. I left my home country -Italy- 7 years ago and I’ve been looking for job opportunities here and there’s to put together my curiosity for the world with the one for my job! Now doing a PhD between Zurich that allows me to spend seasons between Bangkok Nairobi and Cape Town. Backpacker. Nonsense passion for cactus.
And I just got a little motorcycle!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took part with 3 girl-friends of mine in the Mongol Rally charity race 2012, driving a Fiat Panda all the way from Italy to Mongolia. That was cool. Even when a bull got mad on our orange wheels and hit our car.
