Interests

Travelling. I often like to do it alone. In this way i'm more free and I have the opportunity to get better connected with the local culture. Moreover i have less limitations, I can be more spontaneous and change the schedule whenever i feel like. ;-)

I do enjoy learning foreign languages and i'm always willing to practice them while travelling.

I love nature in all its shapes. The fresh air in the mountains, the sound of the waves, the color of the sky at dawn, the soft whisper of the wind.
Hiking is definitely one of the actitvities I enjoy the most.

I'm interested in almost anything connected with economics as well as politics and I like having discussions about many topics.

I also like taking care of my body. For this reason I also go a couple of times a week to gym, I swim and run quite often. I also meditate on a daily basis.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: My musical taste goes from glam rock, rock, pop to electronic as well but I'm ready to listen to every kind of song that makes me feel good.

Books: I like Saramago, Osho, Fëdor Dostoevskij, Paulo Coehlo, Chuck Palhaniuk and many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For one week I had the opportunity to have a glimpse of what life looks like in North Korea.. what an amazing experience!

Escaped from a drug addict with a big knife in Sao Paulo.

I swam with whales and hammerhead sharks in Maldives.

10 days Vipassana meditation retreat in Tuscany.

Permanently relocate to Bulgaria from Switzerland ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself.
