I suffer from chronic nomadism. I read, I write, I take photos. I am addicted to discoveries: people, places, cultures. I like travelling far away and in my neighborhood. I like peripheries and bus stations.

I recently left Amsterdam, where I did a PhD in cognitive neuroscience. I am currently in South-East Asia and planned a long trip before the COVID-19 emergency started. :) You can read more stories on my blog: https://backpackingatthetimesofcoronavirus.wordpress.com/
I regularly work as a freelance photographer. Before Amsterdam, I lived in Nijmegen, Paris, Lyon and Pisa. Between 2013 and 2015, I crossed Central and South America with my backpack and my camera.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a music omnivore. My music tastes range from jazz to electro and techno, from classic rock to cumbia.
My favorite-book list is long, but I have a weakness for Latin American literature.
I like watching movies but not on my laptop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Lima and diving in Colombian barrier reef. Also finishing my PhD was quite an incredible thing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a decent cook for non-Italian standards ;) Otherwise I'd better offer a nice bottle and good conversation.
