ABOUT ME
Ciao! Hi! ¡hola Salut! Konnichiwa! Nihao!
I recently moved back to the Old World (Europe) from Australia. I am always looking for the next adventure or challenge and I am fool enough to believe I can (i.e. I will) change the world one day. I have a fatal attraction for whatever can be named as unconventional, mysterious, unexplained or impossible.
Traveling it is my essence. Meeting new people from every corner of the world and constantly learning new things it is my energy.
The rest of me? I am not going to tell you here ..
PHILOSOPHY
Keep smiling, its free. Live a less ordinary life, enjoy the company of people from around the world - learn, laugh, love, explore, live classy. Also, always try the impossible - most of the times.... it will become possible.
Seneca, ancient roman philosopher, used to say: 'nullius boni sine socio iucunda possessio est', which means that nothing in the world is beautiful without someone to share it with. Beauty if all around us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There we go - seven amazing things I have done in my life.. determination? Luck?.. probably both. (if you will meet me, you may ask me the other ones)
1) I directed a movie with no idea of how to do it. It ended up on national television.
2) I once wrote a comment on Youtube which got so many likes and visibility that convinced a tv star to send me a full collection of autographed DVDs. One year later, I also got quoted on a book.
3) When I was 16 (and traveling on my own) I crossed the Mexican Border from San Diego to Tijuana with $10 in my pocket, without a cellphone and the Visa to go back to the states. I found myself in the middle of a gang shooting, run and jumped on a 50km taxi ride to Rosarito, which costed me all the money I had, spent one night there and came back to the border by changing the ride for a pack of cigarettes (which I found on the street) and re-entered the border without the visa like a boss.
4) I was crossing a forest and I found a 200 years old sword
5) I experienced the most extremes temperatures on this planet - from the Arctic to the desert
6) I kissed my elbow.
Guess which one is not true ;)
Teach, Learn, Share
An ancient chinese saying says: "When you dont have anything to say, say an ancient chinese saying" (just made it up :D)
In my case, I actually have a lot of crazy stories to share (read below), few things to teach and a lot more to learn..
