About Me

Please, read my profile description, above all if you are sending me a CS request. My place is not a hostel.

At the moment organizing the festival Handstand Extravaganza Convention 2022:

What do you think of if I tell you the word "Nowhere"?

What makes you curious? Creative? Esplorative? Out of the crowd?

What to expect next after now? or maybe after my past? I don't know, or maybe I do... I have dreams, goals to achieve, and the more I walk, the more discoveries I do, and the more I allow my path to change.
Man... sometimes it's really challenging, but how amazing is it when you start seeing the big picture?

One of my biggest passions is Handbalance. Which I see to be not only a physical and aesthetic expression of beauty and elegance, but it's lots of a mindful process of knowing yourself, being with yourself and grounding (on your hands :P ). It takes a long time to master this skill and you spend so much time with yourself. The handstand journey has heaps of ups and downs and it's a great teacher itself. As in everything, if you keep your focus, if you believe it, there 's no way you cannot achieve your goals.
Sometimes we forget to enjoy the beauty of any single step.

The handbalance is above all a tool of connection among people. That's why I've chosen to teach it and help any single individual to see and transform their fears.

I love intimacy. That intimacy that brings two people to connect in depth, to create a connection of trust and authentic relationship, whatever it be.
Don't you think that sometimes we are blocked or limited by what society labels as "weird" or "normal"?

I'm incredibly scared, but extremely attracted by the unknown. Because opening the doors to the unknown is the only way to allow the new to get in. I know... it's scary, and I'm still trying to master this skill.

When I was hitchhiking in Europe I decide to have a faith that I always want to bring with me: "The right lift will always come".

Everyone has something to share, everyone is a human being, everyone can smile and everyone can cry. The process of vulnerability.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most powerful and amazing experiences of my life was to hitchhike, for 4 months, from Italy to Portugal, heading to the BE-IN Festival, and return, without having any plans, experiencing any single moment, following intuition, taking life for what it is and connecting with beautiful souls!

Oh! And I also slept on the sea with an air mat inside a small anchored tent!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching body awareness and movements. Including handstand, acro, acro dance.
