CURRENT MISSION

let's change the world

ABOUT ME

I was born in Italy, I come from a small village of approximately 1500 inhabitants, near Ravenna.
I've moved at 18 to study in Bologna.
In 2002 I joined the erasmus project and went to Paris for 6 months, I fell in love with Paris.
Once back in Italy I've start preparing everything for realising my dream and in february 2009 I've moved to Paris.

In March 2012 I've decided to leave my job, my home, and go.
I've spent almost a year hitchhiking around europe then I've started exploring the rest of the world.
On the way I've tried to learn as much as possible about alternatives ways of living, permaculture, sustainable living.
At the end of 2012 I was in Dubrovnik and my host was totally into permaculture, he explained me the principles of it and it was like discovering a new world.
Now I know that no matter where I'll be when I grow up (I'm not yet), permaculture is the way I want my future to be!

October 2016: a new beginning, I moved in Granada, in the south of Spain, with my boyfriend. It's the first time that I have a place to call "home" in the last 4 years, it's a new adventure!!

My dreams is to live in an eco-village self-sufficient and I'm also A LOT into vipassana meditation.
I am colorful, I try to always be positive and to look at the world with a smile on my face.

PHILOSOPHY

I think when you create links, a thin red thread links us to the people forever, no matter if we do not see for a long time, that thread will keep us connected for life.

As Richard Bach said:
"Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end."

I don't want to look back one day and have regrets so I'm trying to take advantage of every occasion to travel and grow.

If you want to be my friend you must believe in fairies.

Once in Persia reigned a king,
Who upon a signet ring,
Carved a maxim strange and wise,
When held before his eyes,
Gave him counsel at a glance,
Fit for every change and chance:
Solemn words, and these were they:
"“EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY"

You only get one life, so make sure you live it right
