Hello, I am Michele and I come from Turin, Italy.

I am interested in cultural activities and multi-cultural settings, visual art and real cinema (especially documentaries), rock music (mostly every "classic albums" from the '60ies and '70ies), literature, new web opportunities (MOOC, web 2.0) and social media (Instagram: Ntwari_Mickey).

I studied Cultural Anthropology at University of Turin, growing my passion in composing photo-reportage and writing fieldwork notes. During the last 5 years, I managed several blogs composing articles and taking pictures about local cultures in many different countries (Italy, USA, Rwanda, Turkey, Brazil, Guinea Conakry, Senegal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Colombia, Mongolia, Montenegro).

I am an independent, motivated and social person but, first of all, a passionate traveler!
