About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveller. Discovering the world, learning everything it can teach to me and experiencing myself in completely different situations is pretty much what I love most of all. I've been travelling since I graduated in political science in Rome. From march 2013 I lived in London and travelled Europe, California, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Egypt... with a year break to compete my master in Political Ecology in London in 2016. After endless adventures, projects and jobs (especially in Guatemala), I'm back in my hometown in Italy to help my family launching a gorgeous bnb close to the beach.

I love to connect with different kind of people, exchange experiences, stories, sometime we can know and link each other in such a short time and I believe it's awesome.
I'm a curious and interested guy basically that's why I enjoy learning from studying as well as living and travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a lot to say here. I'll start with some considerations and I'll update it later!
Travelling, staying in contact with very special people, living in a "different way" and exploring myself led me to re-think myself and the relations between the society patterns and our life, personality, dreams, fears, opportunities and much more. I discover such a big amount of structures created by and for the society that control ourself in the most unthinkable, little and big aspect of our life. For what I saw recognize and eliminate them allow us to be free of many of our unnecessary fears, expand our consciousness , reduce our ego and emanate selfconfidence, power, good and productive energies. A better understanding of myself allows me to better understand how to be useful for the others for example.
I strongly believe that we should experience more the nature, not only respct it but real experience its rules, times, life in order to recognize our internal structures and be a bit more free. :)
Sexual liberation is another fondamental stone of myself. I have a big problem with religious dogmas.
I consider spirituality as an important aspect of my life and it is incompatible with existing formal religions, that I consider much more related with power, control and other "human too human" matters.
Live, love, share!

Interests

I like juggling, theatre and cinema (better if indipendent or anyway not mainstream), festivals, drink a beer with a friend on the beach, travel, read, play, know, smoke, fuck, listen good music, eat good food and drink good wine, study, write (sometimes),dance and all the pleasures of the life! ;)

I'm interested in political, filosofical and sociologic issues. I used to be political active in different movements, after a kind of personal crisis with political participation and above all after my recent travels, long talks and personal changes now I really wanna go back to participation but in a different way.
