WHO

Hi! This is me…..out of focus! I was born and raised in Rome, Italy 35 years ago.

My father chartered accountant by profession and much more by passion; mum is a retired librarian. I have an older sister, Valentina, and several little brothers and sisters cats (for whom all I was and am inevitably ‘the uncle’/’u ziu’). In 1999 I left home for the first time for a long period to live in Andalusia. That was the beginning of many things: of love, of travelling, of lack of homesickness, one of the first time I had critical thoughts about all that I always had considered granted and better. Then some years later by chance, purely by chance and thanks to two girl friends (Irene and Chiara), I started studying and working in the development cooperation ‘business’ and had the chance to extensively travelling to places I had never heard of nor imagine to visit. And finally here I am now, planning an amazing and almost incredible adventure that will take me from the heart of India to the rice fields and temples in South East Asia, from the rampant Chinese land to the mysterious Central Asian Republics. Crawling on the echoes of ancient merchants’ routs to Persia and the Middle-East till the Northern Africa sandy shorelines. And then I will finally find home again, whatever meaning that word will have by then.

So here I am! I decide to open this blog to share this experience with all those who will be patient enough and curious to read. I promise to be always true and I hope this electronic diary will be another tool to unfold my true feelings and emotions

hope you will enjoy
