About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to learn as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I was born in Palermo, lived in Bruxelles, Pavia, Geneva, Kuala Lumpur, Dili and lately in Bangkok. I love making new experiences and learn new things every day!
I love music, particularly rock, reggae and indie; hanging out with friends, taking photos, cooking, traveling and drinking wine, coffee and craft beers.

PHILOSOPHY

"We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race. We all share the same basic values." Kofi Annan
