About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take a bus or a train in every country of this world

ABOUT ME

When I was a kid I used to count the tiles. I did nothing else while I was walking around. Looking to the ground, I payed special attention not to put my feet where a tile met the other. It seemed like the world was less perfect over there, and I steered clear of it.

In a foggy winter day, during my teens, I realized I couldn't spend my whole life here in Milan. I've got nothing personal against it, but, honestly, it's too grey for me. That day I understood I was bound to travel the whole world before I died.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm blue.
