Italian, living in Brussels. Open minded, interested in learning different cultures, habits and traditions.
I can be very talkative if I'm at ease, but I also appreciate the sound of silence.
I'm very curious about everything and I like to explore the hidden spots of a country.
Travelling for me means getting inspired, learning new things, but also volunteering and helping whenever I can.
Giving is more important than taking and sharing is my way of living.
I work hard to find a good balance. Yoga, meditation, music and reading are my favorite activities.
Today, after backpacking for more than one year, it's time to rest for a bit and give back some kindness and friendship :)

PHILOSOPHY
Happiness real only when shared (cit. "Into the wild").
I love people's stories.
I feel naked if I don't have a book with me.
