About Me

IMPO: Currently I am living between Padova, Italy and Lisbon, Portugal.
I am not available to host in Lisbon, but if you need a tour guide through the city, just let me know!

CURRENT MISSION

As the day is long, I keep movin' on!

ABOUT ME

So, really it's not so simple. Or so short.

I am an archaeoanthropologist.
I love to travel and I'm always in motion!
I had travel a lot, I visit many country and I want to see more. I prefer to live cities to remind them also for people and things, not only for some touristic attraction.
One of my many hobby is movie direction and I like to do many short movies, sometimes improvised while I am traveling.
I'm very curious and interested in ways of living outside my country!
Also I'm a culinary connoisseur: let me taste your food specialties!

I travel for discover and have fun especially with my two best friend, Nicola and Pietro: we are an experienced fun travel team!
With us you will never get bored!

PHILOSOPHY

Without music, life would be a mistake. (F. Nietzsche)

Not all those who wander are lost. (J. R. R. Tolkien)

Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends.
You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it. (Cesare Pavese)

Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence. (Edgar Allan Poe)

Archeology is... the most fun you can have with your pants on. (Kent Flannery)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Heilung, Laibach, Motorhead and anything else that sounds similar to their good music!

Also really trash ones, horror, splatter, sci-fi, fantasy and action movies.
