About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Walking Life"

ABOUT ME

Eager for knowledge and learning from other cultures and new points of view. Traveler. Citizen of the World. I'm paleontologists, and I knew it since I was a child (I got home with the pockets full of rocks, bugs, and every kind of bones). I love my job. I love my office: the World!
I love pushing me to the boundary constantly. Love wine, beer & good cocktails! Wild life. Good company. If you want to give me something, give me a smile :) I don't feel I am the right person to talk about myself. Let's go for a walk or a drink and keep chatting (then I can also know about you)!

PHILOSOPHY

"Wisdom and compassion"
"Maximum respect and unity"
"My friends are my state"
"Keep it simple"
"The time is now"
"Who kills an animal for pleasure cannot be a good human being"
