About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be water my friend...be water!!

ABOUT ME

Be water my friend! That's a quote I love from Bruce Lee. He was talking about his martial art system, meaning, you shall avoid the strenght of the opponent and possibly use their strenght against them. For me the meaning is similar...simply avoid contrast in life, like a mountain fresh water stream go down your way, leave a little of your self on the shores and at the same time take something with you.
Travelling, different culture and languages...everything started for not a precise reason, I got my dregree in Oriental Studies simply because it sounded so cool! (joking of course...) I picked Oriental Studies because bored to death of all my Economy-Law-Political Science friends. Than I got to China and had enough time to travelled in so many places, meet people and live in the strangest places in the world! That was amazing! Well, long story short, I got a job there and worked for almost 3 years, then I moved to Korea with my (ex)GF that is Korean and stay there for 8 months, studyng the languages and the Oriental Medicine...at the end it didn't worked for us so I came back to Italy!
Now I'm deeply interested in the Middle East and I'm planning in these days my trip to Israel.
I have some friends there and I'ma Krav Maga pratctioner so I'm gonna have training there!
Updating...
I've been to Israel,crank a rib and got an amazing experience through checkpoints, chiks with M16 on the bus and other crazy stuff like that.
Jerusalem and Akko are simply the best place I've been so far but now a new adventure is coming..Brazil!
Brazil..done! Two months there and an amazing experience.
Now I'm doing consulting for emerging markets...!

Updating. After almost a year in Brasil I'm now moved back to Italy for good, will be working in Florence till October 2012 and then move to Milan.
