CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is a recurrent mission which is never more current than it is recurrent

ABOUT ME

Dear Couch Surfers and other species on the planet hearth,

My name is Martina Conti. There are -on a very aproximate estimate- other 21,327 Martina Conti in the world. My dear and very popular name contains the world ART, this is maybe why I really love art. My dear and very popular name starts with the word MAR, which in some languages (and mine, on a poetic licence) means sea. The sea is another thing I love. If you exchange the initials of my name and surname you obtain the word MONTI, which in Italian means mountains. CARTINA is even more complex and has a double meaning: it means both map and rolling paper. Here I am: I love the sea, mountains, art but I do not have a rolling paper.
I might stick to my dear and very popular name Martina Conti for now, there's enough in it not to get lost and find the way again.

PHILOSOPHY
