About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Feeding my head

ABOUT ME

I am a intense reflexive person, maybe too much. Stasis is my worst foe, in fact I don't have time or will to plan my life consciously. I am really open minded, always ready to discuss about everything and I also enjoy spending my time in listening to people, for I don't take too much care of noises rumbling in my inner-self. It is a kind of diffuse shyness, but I enjoy life a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

First of all, I am an atheist. I believe in the very meaning of memory, even if I often prefer to forget things. I try to defend the idea of a social life build on human rights an interpersonal exchange of knowledge, experience and feelings. I try to fight against every form of racism and discrimination. Daydreaming still is a vivid sparkle in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Midnight sun in Iceland.
