About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around and figuring out what to (not) do with my life.

ABOUT ME

I love laughing, a lot, and sharing my laughters; I love cooking, a lot, and sharing my meals; I love travelling, a lot, and sharing my travels. I think that there's time to stay alone as well, which I personally enjoy a lot. I basically like to see the silver lining, but I'm not thoughtless at all. I like and trust humanity. I enjoy talking, discussing and learning, I most certainly don't like to fight. Sometimes I'm a bit nervous and changeable, but I generally do my best in life.

Interests

I'm deeply interested in my field of study: foreign languages and linguistics, an interest which expands to foreign cultures, literatures and ways of life and thinking. Reading made and makes my life richer for sure, but I'm still not able to appreciate poetry. Music is the most indispensable companion of my daily life, even if I don't play an instrument or sing (well, maybe taking showers, but I believe I suck). Concerts are to be mentioned between the activities which make me feel better. I've been used to write since I'm a child, it helps me a lot. I think I have a bit of an obsession with grammar and semantics: I love words, and I love when they're put in a way which fully satisfies me. Last but not least, I love photography, which is, in the field of visual arts, my most favourite without any doubt. And well, concerning cooking, I'm Italian, so I will judge you a lot for how you cook, but I can cook for you whatever you want (without meat or fish, since I'm a vegetarian, but don't you think you can't enjoy it!).
