About Me

I'm a chill, friendly and open minded guy who likes to hang out with friends and I'm willing to meet people from all parts of this wide globe. I love different cultures and perspectives of the world.

Since I was a child travelling is one of my biggest passions due to my parents and their caravan therefore I decided to move abroad for a limited period asking for time off from my work and I went to Ireland for half a year. It all started from here 😀

Since I came back I started feeling homesick for the place which became my second home and my lifestyle there.
I mean having international friends with different cultures, languages and so on.
This is the main reason I'm joining this platform.

Between 2014 and 2020 I have backpacked most of Europe and 9 countries in South East Asia.
I lived in total 7 years abroad between Spain, Poland and Ireland and I miss those times so much.

My new life started in January 2014.
Before I've been working 6 years straight for the same company in my hometown and I obviously got bored after ''a while'' and I wisely decided to quit in order to completely change my life.
It goes without saying it had been an amazing experience.

I left Europe and I traveled through South East Asia and once back, hitchhiked from Denmark to Italy.
In the Philipphines I also volunteered as a teacher helping street kids with some basic maths and English.
Thanks to this I skipped 2 European winters in a row.

After months of backpacking and hitting the road, in March 2020 I got stuck in Cambodia due to covid restrictions. I struggled to come back to Europe but eventually I made it, it took roughly 3 weeks to find a way to come back due to all travel restrictions.

Since then I'm back to Genoa, currently working and living in here, trying to find a compromise and balance in my life 🙃

I do hate copy paste messages guys, so please write something personalised about you or something you read in my profile (especially the right name!!!! Ahah it happens) I travelled a lot so I know what it means, and please also read the section home, very important part. Ciaoooo and see yall soon 😉
