ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly and patient guy who takes great interest in foreign countries and...languages: I can read and write five in addition to my native Italian and have a smattering of another two. I'm very curious about geography and other cultures and places, and I love being in contact and conversing with foreigners. I'm talkative (not with everybody though - not with people I dislike!) but also willing to listen to what the other person has to say without interrupting them.

PHILOSOPHY

I have none. Life has little - if anything - to do with philosophy
