About Me

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ! I won't be in Barcelona in July and August, so I cannot host anybody in this summer!

I was born in Turin in 1983 and I move to Barcelona when I was 20, so I spent almost half of my life in Barcelona. I learnt very early to be independent and autonomous. I studied philosophy and social anthropology, and I specialized in urban anthropology and construction of racism. I love to look at the world around me through the lens of anthropology, which has been to me one of the best practices of respect towards the diversity and and allow me to understand the social dynamics beside every single phenomenon. I use to share what I have (food, clothes, help, attention) with people around me, I think that generosity and solidarity are important values to develop in this life. I think that from cradle to grave life is a school, problems are lesson, life is constant change and that's why we only have to focus to the present. In my life I try to practice respect towards others in the deepest sense of the word in every single moment, the best that I can. I love good conversations but I also love silence, nature, peace, books.
