Music
I grew up in Padova - Italy, playing football , making music and going out with friends. I have always had a huge passion for music, I sing and play the guitar mostly.
When I was in University I did a semester abroad in Den Haag 🇳🇱 and you could say that I never really came back. I discovered my love not only for traveling but for living abroad. As soon as I finished university I got on a flight to Australia where I worked and traveled for 2 years.
Then I went to my brother's wedding on a beach in Thailand 🏝and I liked the country so much that I ended up living in Bangkok for 5 years 👀. I had the opportunity not only to enjoy the sabai-sabai 🙏 Thai life, but also further my career working with big international companies, understand and overcome the challenges that come with multicultural communication.
At the beginning of 2019 I decided to move back to Europe and chose to be based in Spain (I like it sunny ☀️ ). Currently based in Barcelona, but still traveling often and enjoying a location independent work and life.

- Nassim Taleb - Skin in the game
I always love some Taleb, and I fully subscribe to his way of thinking. Some of my favourites quotes from the book:People who are bred, selected, and compensated to find complicated solutions do not have an incentive to implement simplified ones.
Bureaucracy is a construction by which a person is conveniently separated from the consequences of his or her actions.
Avoid taking advice from someone who gives advice for a living, unless there is a penalty for their advice.
Survival comes first, truth, understanding, and science later.
