“We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.”

I don't like people who looks friendly and kind when they need a couch but then if I can't host or they find another accomodation, they stop replying and disappearing. Do you know we can still be friends and hang out? 😄⛔️ I don't want waste time with opportunistic and egoistic people. I want to meet new friends.

*****
I'm currently living in Palermo, - before I lived in Rome, Barcelona, Prague,Warsaw and Liverpool.

I'm friendly, open mind, outgoing, funny, clean, smart, and sarcastic.

I like meeting new people from different countries and cultures, learn new stories and enjoy new experiences.

I am a good observer and I like small actions and details.

I like red wine, sunsets, nature, happy and funny people, theatre, discovering, reading, cinema, naturism, Scarlet Johansson, party, nature, spaghetti, the hot coffee in the morning, pizza, poetry, kindness, everything concerning coconut, surprises, and walking under the stars.

I have traveled to France, England, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Czech Republic, Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Finland, Switzerland, Ukraine, Portugal and almost all Italy.

PHILOSOPHY

- "Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness."

- “Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.”

- "You said emotions are overrated, but that's bullshit. Emotions are all we have. "

- "You can easily judge the character of a person by how they treat those who can give them nothing."

- "You can understand a lot of things by touching but, for some reason, people are afraid of touching."

🍊 Sicilian markets 🍆 with their smells and sounds, splashes of brilliant colours, noisy street vendors and the mouth-wateringly powerful aroma of sizzling street food. Go early morning.

When in Palermo, make sure you check out at least one of the 3 main ones, It will be my pleasure to guide you there, it s one of my favourite location for portrait photoshooting! 😍

✔️ Capo
✔️ Ballaro
✔️ Vucciria

You will find there fruit and veg, sea food, spices and even clothes and Sicilian fabric.

In Palermo you will see the influence of the #Arab world and nowhere this is more evident than in the markets.

Each of the four historic quarters of Palermo has its own market, but the Capo, Ballarò and Vucciria are the big three in terms of historical #charm and #popularity with locals and tourists.

Capo Market
Visit for: meat carcasses swing from hefty meat hooks, fresh, glistening tuna and swordfish, cheese, olives, colourful fruits and fresh, glossy vegetables. You can also try some street food and snacks.

The Mercato del Ballarò
The Mercato del Ballaro. Visit for fruit and veg, olives, and even clothes. It’s a fascinating mix of noises, smells and street life, and it really is the cheapest place for everything from underwear to fresh produce, fish, meat, olives and cheese.

The Mercato della Vucciria
Visit for street snacks, stalls full of fresh produce and loud stallholders pushing their wares. In the evening you can go for drink...let's go together!

DO NOT MISS: MONREALE

Monreale is a town on a hill, 7km (4miles) from Palermo.

Monreale Cathedral is a one of several buildings named in a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the biggest church in the world with mosaics 😮

We are talking about 6400 square meters of handmade, shiny golden mosaics. If you can’t grasp how big this is, it’s like a football pitch.
