About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my own way

ABOUT ME

It's so difficult to describe myself, basically because I've been learning how I really am for so long!
I can say that I'm a very curious person, always willing to learn new things, open minded, a good listener. I need to be continuously fed with interests and focused on something, not to fall into laziness.
I work as a subsea engineer designing structures for oil & gas sealines. My job absorbs most of my daily time, and sometimes also night time when I'm fully into some projects.
I like people that have interesting stories to tell!

PHILOSOPHY

Live staying true to myself and trying to become a better person, following my passions and dreams

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love music, any kind that transmits me sensations and emotions. Alternative rock, instrumental, progressive, indie rock and new wave are my favourites.

During my student life I've read few non-technical books, I guess I was saturated by printed things! In my childhood I was struck by "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", for the fascinating adventures there described and the phantastic and undiscovered subsea world. Recentely I read "The last lesson" by Prof.Pausch which made me think about how important is to live our life in happyness doing what we like to do.

I mostly like true stories or dramas as John Q, The green mile, 8 Mile but I don't dislike nice commedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped down a plane at 4500m altitued. Seen the Grand Canyon, really grand. Manhattan from the Empire State Building. Lived in San Francisco, I'm fucking in love with that city! Passed out after a joint in the Netherland! Challanged a german guy to drink 1 liter of beer in one sip at the Oktoberfest, guees who won? Not me of course!

Teach, Learn, Share

I wish to let visitors feel more like locals than just turist and have a better experience during their journey. I like to show my city if I'm not busy.
