About Me

I currently live in Perth, Australia. But in a few month I will be back in Italy, where I have always lived with my family. I have two houses there, one very small in the center of parma and the other in the countryside. It depends from the season but one of these is always free and I can accept guests.
I love meeting new people from all over the world and share experiences, so even if I can't accept guests at the moment I ll be happy to meet you and show you all I know about the place I m living in.

MISSION (in progress)

To travel as much as possible, in all ways I can imagine.
To learn all I can learn about things around me, from people around me, about me through the others.

PHILOSOPHY

(Ok there are too many things to say and now I m not able to choose one. Maybe after traveling and traveling and traveling I will write more)
just
Go deep into everything, without forgetting the lightness.

and
"In order for the character of a human being to reveal truly exceptional qualities, we must have the good fortune to observe its action over a long period of years. If this action is devoid of all selfishness, if the idea that directs it is one of unqualified generosity, if it is absolutely certain that it has not sought recompense anywhere, and if moreover it has left visible marks on the world, then we are unquestionably dealing with an unforgettable character."
from "The Man Who Planted Trees", Jean Giono
