About Me

I live in Trieste with my wife, I’m from Bari, she’s from Saint Petersburg.
I like to ride my motorbike, drive my car and travel with my van.
I’m learning how to play accordion and studying German so I’d be glad to meet someone to play with or practice German language.
I’ve travelled a little bit and it would be a pleasure to share opinions on different countries, habits and experiences.
