About Me

CURRENT MISSION

..re-inventing my life..

ABOUT ME

Im a really laid back person, i studied to be personal trainer when i was in Italy, then i graduated in 'Conservation and Land mgt' in Australia but i've been working the most of the time in hospitality as barman or cook. After many years like this I've decided to change and worked as a carpenter for a bit and then I decided I wanted to
Work outdoor and I worked as a farmer in Italy. I love nature, like spending time with people and takin time for my hobbies. I love getting wonderfully lost in new places i visit...

PHILOSOPHY

..i belive in good and bad people, no stereotipes, no labels..i belive that nature should come first than financial figures, productivity and economic growth..i think we should all take a step back, relax and take more time for ourselves, for our friends, for our family and do what we fell like doing not what others think we should do.."if everybody does sth, it doesnt mean that it is a good thing..if nobody does sth, it doesnt mean it is a bad thing"...shut the tv, think more...i belive that is easier to find happines in small things and in ppl that love dancings!!
