ABOUT ME

I'm Marco, 29 yo from Italy. I don't like talk about myself - look at the references :P
I studied as an electrician but I don't like it at all.
Then i didn't know what to study and i started work in a stupid factory. I did it for a year, my life was pretty boring, same routine every day... so i just decided to fly to Australia!
My life basically changed after mmy "Working&Travel" year in Australia. I have never had that feeling before. The "backpacker feeling" who wants to see new place meet new people! I love it!

PHILOSOPHY

Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer!

"If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.
