I love my work, biology, research in general: I think this should be international,and I believe that going abroad for studing or working is really a great oportunity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two great experiences of travelling were my first time in Brasil e my first time in New York City... Brasil...eu deixei meu coraçao ai...amazing, fantastic, I was working with children in a school, teaching italian and volley. I could met the soul of brazilian people, I was so impressed from their smiles and easy way to live without anything that I remember as a very important part of my life...nature, happiness, music...everything around me became a photo in my heart.
NYC working experience...I lived there 3 months, I was in a laboratory of medical reserach and during weekends I went around in Manhattan and I visited a lot...a word: life like a movie!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think everything concerning my work and biology is very interesting and could be a good starting point to make research international through exchange of ideas...I love travelling, so meet other people, culture, knowing their way to live in their own countries, food, traditions,religion and music is absoluterly a way to make more interesting any travel.
