About Me

ABOUT ME

I like discovering things about the world, nature, different cultures and people in general. I believe a kid's curiosity is the best attitude to drive life.

I like spending my time in outdoor activities, I love nature and all its expressions. My biggest passions are mountains and I love to get to know them through rock-climbing and hiking. I like snowboarding, kayaking, running in the forest and sailing. I recently discover diving and I am totally addicted to it!

The study of Physics that I have done so far it's been a way to investigate nature with the language of math, an interesting and cool experience. Physics tells us about nature, the universe and its "laws" and hence something about ourselves too. I think it shares a lot with Philosophy and that's probably another reason 'cause I like it.

I love eating good food from different countries and regions and try new tastes. A chat over a good beer, a glass of wine or a tea/coffee it's always welcome.

I really love music, it is part of my daily-life and I am used to listen to a very large range of several different genres. I love music-festivals, specially Psy-Goa-Trance electronic ones.

PHILOSOPHY

Cooperation is always better than competition.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listened to a wide range of bands and musical genres which are often unrelated to each other. I tend to be not closed and listened to new things. I like Blues, Northern Soul, some Old Ska, Roots Reggae ( I dislike Reggae Tone and Dance-hall Reggae). I like Punk, especially "Oi-Punk" and some Hard-Core Punk bands. I like Hard-Rock, some Country-music and some Metal from the lightest one to Power-Metal and HC-Black-Metal.
I love electronic music too, especially Goa-Trance/Psy-Trance but also Techno (or Teckno), especially the one from UK, France and all the Hard-Core Teckno. I like Dark music, New-Wave, Post-Punk and some EBM. I like Swing, some Electro-Swing and also music from the 30's-40's-50's and many other...
