CURRENT MISSION

"La forma delle cose si distingue meglio in lontananza" I travel to discover everything that is different from me, but that could also help me to better understand who I am, where I come from, and to really appreciate it...

ABOUT ME

"Un voyage est un tremplin à l'imaginaire qui nourrit chacun de nous et propose non seulement l'inattendu des autres mais aussi de soi-meme"
Bernard Giraudeau
"Libertà vo cercando, ch'è sì cara, come sa chi per lei vita rifiuta"
Dante Alighieri
"Il m'a toujours semblé que mon plaisir serait d'aller toujours droit devant moi, sans savoir où, sans que personne s'en inquiète, et de voir toujours des pays nouveaux."
Charles Baudelaire
"D'una città non godi le sette o le settantasette meraviglie, ma la risposta che dà a una tua domanda"
Italo Calvino
"If you know who you are, you can go anywhere"
F. O' Connor

PHILOSOPHY

"Meglio ridere che piangere!"
(It's better to laugh than to cry)
