ABOUT ME

I'm a good friend.

PHILOSOPHY

..para um caixeiro-viajante a vida não tem chão firme. Ele não se prende a nada, não impõe a lei, nem dá remédio. Ele é um homem que vive no ar, montado num sorriso e num sapato engraxado.

(a. miller)

"Le seul véritable voyage, le seul bain de Jouvence, ce ne serait pas d'aller vers de nouveaux paysages, mais d'avoir d'autres yeux, de voir l'univers avec les yeux d'un autre, de cent autres, de voir les cent univers que chacun d'eux voit, que chacun d'eux est."

(proust).

"Arrivando a ogni nuova città il viaggiatore ritrova un suo passato che non sapeva più d'avere: l´estraneità di ciò che non sei più o non possiedi più t'aspetta al varco nei luoghi estranei e non posseduti."

(i.calvino).

Music, Movies, and Books

Italian Neorealism and Italian comedies. German expressionist films. Nouvelle Vague, mainly Godard and Truffaut. Woody Allen and some alternative films from NY. Monty Python and the British sarcasm. Rock, glam and Jazz. Radiohead. I'm very keen on literature, from Greek mythology all the way to the Beat Generation. My favorite book was "The Magic Mountain" from Thomas Mann but I also enjoy Dostoyevsky's classics, such as "The Brothers Karamazov" and "Crime & Punishment".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with baby sea lyons at the Galapagos, partying at a Turkish Bath in Budapest, parasailing over sand dunes in Genipabu, spending the night over a mysterious ship to Montenegro, getting lost with a bike all alone at the Atacama desert, going to Transylvania to find out that the Dracula doesn't exist.
