About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Going for Nation #55 this year (maybe), step by step visiting as much as I can.
Collecting experiences and plan new travels is my weekly mission!
And microadventures during the weekend are always a solution

ABOUT ME

30 years ago I started my adventure on this planet. I love travelling and spend beautiful moments with friends. I work in the travel industry in Italy, after spending the last five years among Olympic Games, African seaside, European cities and South African wildlife. I like smiling, it's something that can help to see everything in a positive way. I'm a love life type person. I love snowboarding, playing and watching soccer, hanging out with friends and discover something new every time I have the possibility. My goal is to look back on my life with no regrets!

PHILOSOPHY

Generally the question is: why not?
Trying everything at least once!

Some quotes I like:
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift.. that's it's called "the present".
I really think that life is beautiful and everyday has something special for everyone. Therefore, enjoy the life and keep on smiling!

La vita è troppo breve per essere arrabbiati, tristi, annoiati.. C'è un mondo la fuori che aspetta solo di essere colorato dalle nostre emozioni.
la vita è come uno specchio, ti sorride se la guardi sorridendo!
