I moved to Bergen in January 2020.
Before moving to Bergen, I lived 7 years in Tromsø. I was having a career in tourism before the whole cøvid thing exploded. Now I am studying and working part-time for the public social service.

I live in a small apartment which is still a bit of a mess, but if you have a good sense of adaptation I can squeeze a couple of guests in the "living room".

I don't feel comfortable in overcrowded places for too long.
I like being with people but I also enjoy my solitude.

I grew up in Castignano, a 3,000-inhabitant rural village in Italy.
At some point, for some reason, I started to pregrinate around Italy, Spain and Norway. I lived in places like Forlì (Italy), Logroño (Spain), Voss (Norway), Grottammare (Italy), Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain), Tromsø (Norway).

I quit smoking in 2011 and I quit drinking in April 2017.
