About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my life! And to contribute to the protection of human rights!

ABOUT ME

I dream to contribute to improve the world and I act to make it happen, I would love to see no wars, peace everywhere and SOCIAL JUSTICE. I know I am so small to make a change, but I believe we all have the responsibility to promote peace, tolerance, solidarity. We all have to give an hand, forgetting about egoism and individualism, those things will kill our souls! Each person can choose to not support wars through little actions: not buying products made by countries that built wars, voting peaceful parties, and so forth. We can!

I love enjoying life, travelling, meeting new people and I love to discover new cultures and harmonize myself with them. I studied Human Rights, International Cooperation. I'm always looking for an exiting job as peace keeper, to support development or emergency projects in "vulnerable" places, enjoying new experiences and meetings new friends.

I did not decide where to live yet, most probably I will be travelling around the world or I will stay somewhere for long time. The world is so big and interesting... I want discover it as much as I can.

I finished my working experience with an Humanitarian Organization in Gaza few months ago and I travelled to London and to Paris to get trainings, then .... I arrived to Kenya and Somalia for a new work. And after that.... I am working in Rome and living here with my amazing husband. We believe it is not our final destination, but for a while it is lovely place to live.

PHILOSOPHY

1: Qui vit sans folie n'est pas si sage qu'il le crois.

2: Raul Follereau was right writing that 'There are no dreams too big'.

3: "Even if I would know the end of the world is tomorrow, I will plant an olive tree today."
