ABOUT ME
Adventurous and dreamy, I keep my head on the clouds but my feet on the ground. I don't believe in impossibles but in extremely difficult or in another words, if a problem doesn't have a solution, then there is no problem.
Love my friends and the links people built with each other. Best thing in life. Love a good chat and a good laughing, an easy going afternoon (or an easy sunday morning) walking around and discovering new places, rediscovering old places, get to know other people and other cultures. Love the sea and the sun, water and sky sports (although I don't know how to practice many... but I love them). A good book is always a traveling companion and a political discussion, reshaping the world, a pleasure.
PHILOSOPHY
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not?
