About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Variety is the spice of life

ABOUT ME

I'm just your regular guy with writer's block, so filling all the fields will be a slow task =D

Let's see.. I'm an easy-going, fun person, who loves to travel and to see and experience new cultures. I'm continuously amazed by how diverse our world is. I value friendship, and good-will.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love cinema, from the the weird documentary about the problematic in the Iranian shoelace industry, to the action packed Hollywood blockbuster. Porco Rosso!!!

Music wise, I listen to a lot of different stuff... A sample of a possible playlist: Yeah yeah yeahs, Pearl Jam, The Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, Gotan Project, Jazzinho, Vanessa da Mata, Beirut, Amy Winehouse.

Last books on the bed table: Baltasar and Blimunda from Saramago, For whom the bell tolls from Hemingway, The Unbearable Lightness of Being from Milan Kundera, Nine Stories from JD Salinger. Oh and Jules Verne for president!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly, I have no idea. Tough question...

Teach, Learn, Share

I photograph, so I might work something out in this regard.

Photography, Design, Communication are my fields of work. Anything regarding creativity, I'll be glad to just talk on for hours, and share what I've learned through school, work and life.

I'm always ready to learn some foreign cooking wizardry, some strange dance, etc. I have a drum set at my place and I'd love to improve on that.

Austria, Belgium, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Morocco, Netherlands, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Tanzania, United Kingdom, United States
