CURRENT MISSION

After a 5 month stay in Granada (Spain) I am going back to Lugano (Switzerland) to stay a while with my mother and my old friends and find a job. Looking forward to clear my ideas and plans for the future while keeping working on my hobbys (meditation, flamenco guitar and dance, dj'ing, photography).

ABOUT ME

I have always lived in Ticino (Italian part of Switzerland) but as my mother is French she taught me a lot of french culture (books etc.), so I feel quite close to France ( I have the french nationality). As I was younger I have spent all my holidays in Brittany near the sea, I have always dreamed to live by the sea. I also would like to become a sailor somedays =)

I like to travel in a non-touristic way, not making plans, for example walking around randomly in a city, meeting unexpected people. I really like hitch-hiking, cycling, workaway,...

I am anti-capitalist and feminist. I like the idea of "décroissance"(somebody knows the translation?). I like to break circles ideas and stereothypes and learn about new cultures that I try to respect and not to judge. I have a terribly sociological mind, so I wounder, what can I do with it? Add it to my sense of adventure. I guess my dream is to become a journalist and do some kind of reportages around the world in a sociological and artistic way. Dream can come true, isn't it?

I try to find a certain stable state (peace of mind). I am always in movement to improove myself.

Sometimes I am shy when I meet people for the first time, i like to laught and have fun doing crazy things, I don't like too much the simple common sense and circling ideas.

PHILOSOPHY

IF YOU'RE NOT SATISFIED, CHANGE YOUR POINT OF VIEW, AS YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE WORLD:
