About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission? Never been a good soldier - I am not good with missions! :)

ABOUT ME

I love travelling...Getting to know people, places, stories...Having studied international relations, I also enjoy reading about the history of countries, cities,places, influential people who lived there ect...I am a big football lover (basketball too) and I am particularly interested in what a good friend has described as 'the political economy of football'
My hobbies include speargun fishing, free diving, reading, films, while I am also trying to learn how to play the harmonica, to the disappointment of everybody around me when I decide to practice!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is small! Make the best out of it!
(carpe diem!)
