ABOUT ME

I like markets, the smell of hands after peeling oranges, getting lost in cities to find place I would never find with a map, going out and see the sunrise after a night dancing, speaking about you, me and everithing else, drinking chai (but also all other kind of more alcoolic beverages), packing my stuff to go back on the road, change and people who bring it. I love writing stories, postcards, poetry, essays, killing prejudices through talks and meeting, hearing the opinion of the other one, eating strange food. Once a wonderful greek woman told me "Don't pay it back, pay it further", and it is what I'm trying to do: giving to others everything I had the incredible chance to get! I often sing when I'm walking alone because I have no music player :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem and do what you like doing!

Leave place for uncertainty and doubt, for improvisation! Never say "I don't have time" because that's basically not the point: the one who doesnt have time is the one who doesnt takes time for (well, you might have very good reason not to take time for^^).

I have otherwise a philosophy of tolerance: whatever one thinks or does, if one has good arguments, I will accept it (even if sometimes I'm not able to understand^^)
