ABOUT ME

..actually i have to get to know myself better before answering this question. i'm a people person. love to meet, talk and think things over- most of the time I wish i could live parallel lives, i wish i could experience different cultures and i wish i could open a different window on a different world every morning i wake up. that's what i do most, try to escape the routine of living in the same old city by lookin' at it with first time eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

live and let the others live. let your feelings do the talking.

Interests

Languages, current and old. Languages as they relate to societies.
idioms, slang, swearing and proper talking.
i'm trying to teach Italian to some people who are not as lucky as me...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The stars in Tavira (Portugal) sky. Every day's a source of amazing things to see. Swam with the baby sharks in Coral Bay. Camped in Abel Tasman National Park, where i've seen the most beautiful sky ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to excel at speaking - well, actually, i do get really shy sometimes!- the discovery of a language and the cultural burden behind it is what i dedicate my life to. i suppose i could share some of my (small) knowledge about that.
