About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make new friends be creative, read more, travel off the beaten path, travel solo, stop and breathe

ABOUT ME

Originally from Italy, I lived in Spain, South Africa, USA, Sudan... and now Sierra Leone.

PHILOSOPHY

My mantras:
"Be kind"
"Be comfortable with being uncomfortable"
"Wherever you are is exactly where you need to be"
"Don't forget to breathe"
"Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end"
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are"
