I like to travel, and often must travel for work. I love to meet and know new people, and enjoy in learning somethig from them. I think namely that there's always something interesting to learn, if one has the right mood to listen and catch it.

Music, Movies, and Books

There's a large number of movies I like a lot, but maybe the one which for me is most emblematic and important is Ingmar Bergman's «Wild Strawberries».
Music: I like almost all genres, but not many musicians are for me really fundamental. II mention just a couple of those many who are for me very important: Queen and Dire Straits.
Literature: I like it a lot. Three authors, rather than the hundreds I could mention: Lev Nikolaevič Tolstoj, Edgar Allan Poe, Juan Rulfo.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm open and available to dialogue, to exchange ideas, impressions, and experiences on the world. I don't like political correctness: it seems to me a form of hypocrisy, but am also convinced that it is not so important to give one's opinion on everything (and it's impossible to have an informed opinion on everything). I also think that, in the end, even an overheated discussion can not ruin a human relation, especially on topics like politics, or international or economic affairs. Verbal confrontations with friends or unknown people can lead to learn something new about the world, or about oneself, or maybe just nothing - and this would be anyway an experience to remember -, but one should always be aware that such discussion will hardly bring to change the events or the political direction. The most important way to respect the others is to be authentic.
