About Me

Ciao!
Born and breed in Italy, close to Milan, but I've started roaming since I was 18.
First across Italy for my master and PhD, then a bit of Spain, UK and US eventually. After half a decade spent in Arizona, US I have decided to come back to Italy for a while. I lived 2 years in a nice town by the Lago Maggiore. I loved the area, spending my free time in cozy coffee-shop, walking along the lakeside and by joining my crossfit buddies.

I have recently moved to Tarragona, Spain where I can enjoy the beaches of the Costa Dorada and the beautiful hikes of Catalunya.
I have cognitive psychology background and I am currently working in automotive consulting company as Human Factors Engineer.

Movies: independent European and American movies,even though I'm recently started tipping my toe on the Asian movies scene. 5 best active directors: Wim Wenders, Spike Lee, Pedro Almodovar, Steve McQueen and Christopher Nolan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
