About

Hi there,

welcome to my own little corner of the internet.

The girl in the picture up there is me. A couple of unrequested facts about me. I like coffee, sunny seaside towns, honesty and British humor. In the ever-lasting fight between cats and dogs I side with dogs (but sweet cats can easily win me over). My spirit is mid-way between Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. Basically I’m a Notting Hill kid. I have many addictions, but they never stay the same. When I’m not working, I’m watching movies, doing sports or asking very odd questions (e.g. when was the concept of breakfast born?) I believe in hard work and commitment, but I value a balanced and healthy perspective on life above any form of excellence. My opinions are always evolving, so don’t take anything you read here as absolute truth—if there’s any such thing. This is my blog, which is a space where I feel free to share my thoughts and most random interests. Just like in my life, there’s no fixed theme or grand vision. If you like some of my thoughts, or equally if you don’t and have something to tell me feel free to send me an email. That’s all for now.

I’ll leave you with one of my favourite quotes,

by my mom:

La vita non è una competizione ma un tiro al bersaglio: non importa arrivare prima, ma saper trovare un centro. 🎯
