About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be happy

ABOUT ME

When I have been traveling the people I found along the way have been always really nice to me, they have help me. As most of the times I did not have the chance to pay such good hospitality, I try to give it back to other travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

Change myself in order to change the world.
There is one purpose to life and one only: to understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world - its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. That's all there is to it. If an activity is not grounded in to love or to learn, it does not have value.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
