About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently busy learning to fly!!! I've almost finished my paragliding licence :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a cheerful tireless guy, I love to spend time outdoor rock climbing, alpine skiing, mountainbiking on paths or riding on a racing bike, freediving and speargun-fishing, surfing and kitesurfing... I enjoy outdoor sports and nature. Even if I'm Italian I'm a pretty bad soccer player... but quite a good cook!! I'm interested in photography and movies but above all, the thing I like the best is TRAVELLING !!!

PHILOSOPHY

Always take a chance and go for it, you never know what could happen!!! It might be something absolutely great and you will be HAPPY you've tried it or it might be something terrible and you'll be HAPPY you will never do the same choice again!!!

Interests

Travelling and meeting new people ( oh well, I guess it wasn't necessary to state that!)Sports in the nature (either water or snow, rock or air, but I can't be confined in any playing field, I need the open wild spaces!)Fixing Anything that's broken (from clocks to bikes...)Building remote controlled models or anything that goes trough my mind (I worked on an underwater breathing apparatus from the age of 9 to 14 without killing myself, now it works fairly well but I've decided that scuba tanks are more handy!)Going to the movies and then drink beer with friends (It's important to do it in the right order, it doesn't work quite as well the other way around, beer and then movies!)Photography (I'm not a pro but I'm getting better)Math, logical quiz, and riddlesRisk, Cards and other board games Bikes and Motorbikes and anything that has less than two wheels (zero is included)
