About Me

CURRENT MISSION

...dance with joy... ;)

ABOUT ME

about ten years ago I got some "international friends".. it was a Summer School in Economics.. it was a great fun.. to share experiences.. to see some inter-cultural differences "in practice".. and since then it is a sort of addiction...
I do feel bored to speak just one language... or to stay at the same place for a long period of time.. my friends are kidding at me.. "in what part of Europe should we search for you this weekend?"... ;) or.. "russian girl.. dancing irish sets.. in italy.." ;).. or "you live in Germany, you work on the East European thematics, you speak English at work.. and nevertheless.. you have Italian friends!" :)

being mobile and flexible, "mixing" cultures toghether.. it's a pure dream.. and it becomes true every day.. funny, but i do enjoy it

PHILOSOPHY

oh... well... life is something more than just studies and work .. Italians, in general, are really "proficient" in enjoying life :) and I'm happy I was able to take this as my personal philosophy..
