About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life.

ABOUT ME

Backpacking and currently living in Auckland, I'm in New Zealand since November 2014, mostly working. Gonna start travel the North Island, then back to Auckland and on the 21st of April I'm flying out to Thailand. On the way to NZ I spent 1 month between China, Thailand and Cambodia.

In the beginning of May 2014 I came back home after 7 months spent between Cuba, Mexico and Guatemala and a taste of Belize...got to know new places, new people and new cultures...learned spanish and felt in love. amazing trip.

Before that I used to live in Australia for 2 years and then I travelled for 5 months back to Italy through Indonesia, Nepal, India and China.

I visited big part of Europe as well, but usually just through short trips. Last shot was south of Scotland in August 2014 for 9 days.

I'm fascinated by different places and people since I'm a child. Being born in a different environment makes you a different person (because if someone has running hot water and someone else doesn't even have drinking water, they must have a different vision of life) but still you can connect with people from the other side of the world, and that's simply an extraordinary experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Reivindico absolutamente el derecho al vagabundeo, a la aventura, a la utopìa y al romanticismo, porque es la esencia del Che.

I absolutely claim the right to vagrancy, adventure, utopia and romanticism, cause it's the essence of el Che.
