CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
There's nothing more difficult than describe ourself. I could say I'm very sociable and openmind person but I cannot deny another side of myself, more solitary and silent. I love and I look for beauty, each day of my life. But I know beauty always has a little bit of sadness. I believe in Experience: only experience can bring us up, making of us wise and mature persons. If we know someone (or something) very well, we'll have no fear about him (or about it) and always we'll respect him (or it).
PHILOSOPHY
When I was younger I loved Fernando Pessoa but when I read this phrase I got confused: "If we are really wise, we can enjoy the show of our world simply seated on a chair..." I don't believe that! I have to see, to touch, to hear, to taste, to smell if I want to know my world and myself, too. Travelling by my feet is an ethical duty for me and I hope it will be the same when I'll be an old (and a wiser, I hope) woman.
Interests
I like hitchhiking all around the world; picking up strange seeds, planting them and hoping the plantes grow up healthy and blooming (not easy at all); cooking, especially sweets; reading novels in Spanish, my favourite language, apart from Italian. I love wind and windy places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I gasped in front of the superb white Glaciar Grey inside Torres del Paine Natural Park (Chilean Patagony). I needed have a long trekking to arrive in front of it and his silence and his beauty relieved all my tiredness.
