CURRENT MISSION

Traveling and discovering.

ABOUT ME

My name is Federico Abate (Fede). I am just graduated from highschool. I'm the oldest son of 2 children (I have one younger sister aged 16) at the moment, I live at home with my parents, which means that we as a family are willing to host people from abroad and learn about them and their culture and share our own lifestyle with other people.
Living in a town on the mountains and inside a national park means: "adventure just around the corner" We sometimes go out for a walk around the forest, go to the lake to have a dip and a lot of sightseeing. We´ve lived here for about 12 years, and still discover new places which are a lot of fun.

Right now, I'm at that moment in life where you start to figure what you want to do with it. I´d like to study International Business as economy and the rest of the world sounds like a perfect match for me.
In fact, I´d like to travel abroad before starting my university studies, and that´s why the idea of beginning this account.

Personally, I'm a quiet and easygoing person. I enjoy the "everyday" rutine and on the weekends I like to go out with friends or just hang out at someone's house.
I've realised that travelling is my passion, and as they say, I believe it is the only thing you can invest in that really makes you richer.

PHILOSOPHY

"You get what you give"
Karma.
