• Something to tell the world!

  Hi, strangers and welcome to my profile! I think it's nice to talk with people from different countries, so here I am. You can write me in Italian (it's my mother tongue), English, Spanish, French and German. What more can I say? Hope to hear from you soon!

• My interests in other cultures

  Way of life and language are the things I'm interested in learning about other cultures. I think that language is the most important tool to get in touch with people from other countries. I love how words sound in different languages and I'm fascinated by idiomatic expressions that make every language unique.

• I always enjoy talking about...

  Books, music, art, cinema. But if you want to talk about something else, that's okay!

• I recently learnt...

  Better safe than sorry. I'm kidding. Actually, I have learned it a long time ago.

• Life regrets

  The time I wasted on people who didn't deserve it.
  The things I have given up for fear or lack of confidence in myself.

• My proudest accomplishments

  My indipendent thought. I've always wanted to be different since I was a teenager. I've never cared what others think about me and I hate follow the trend. I don't like clichés, preconceived truths, labels and categories. I think that all these things are quite useless.

• I'm excited about...

  My freedom. It's one of the most precious things in life.

• I feel concerned about...

  I don't want to live an ordinary life. I'm really worried about it!

• A personal challenge

  Keep being an authentic person. I think it's worth it.

• I'm an expert at...

  Remembering things (yes, yes, I really have a good memory).

• Something uncommon about me

  I'm shy (too much!), a little insecure, wary, fussy, realistic (sometimes pessimistic), rational (but I'm also a dreamer). I always analyze everything: if I don't do it, I feel lost. I'm an INTJ-A personality type. Well, these things probably don't make me unique. I'm sure you're thinking I'm weird but come on... Don't hesitate and text me!

• Childhood pleasures

  I used to spend my time dreaming with my eyes open. It was my favourite pleasure.

• My feeling about the future

  My thought toward future swings forward and backward between positiveness and negativeness. But I'm sure one day it will stops on the first one.

• Living abroad for one year

  New York!
  Like John Lennon said: "If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today, America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself".

• 10 years from now

  I will be around the world. I think that the world is too big and beautiful, so how could I stay in the same place?

• Over or underrated

  I think nineties are underrated. I grew up in this decade and sometimes I feel nostalgic.

• A trick or piece of advice

  Stay away from toxic people.

• My opinion on human nature

  Human being: handle with care.

• Making the world a better place

  The world would be a better place if we all stop thinking in platitudes.
