Bio
I consider myself to be a dreamer along the lines of The Big Fish’ s tall tale teller. A curious seeker who gets hooked by incredible life-stories. My childhood dream job was to become a vet, but I soon relinquished it when my dad told me: “You’ll have to study for at least 9 years after elementary, middle- and high-school!”. That was it, too much dedication for my taste. I can’t remember having any other professional goal since then. I spent all of my teens up to 27 years old, pretty much without a scope or aim in life. Sleeping throughout the day, clubbing and spending my money in clothes, with the belief that once I reached a certain age, I’d quit this lifestyle and dedicate myself to making up a career.
At 27, I became a recruitment consultant and moved to Trapani. After just one year, I was working in Castronovo di Sicilia, then moved to Palermo, then London and after 4 to Lisbon. Peeps have always called me a roller-coaster! I believe that being opinionated and having the courage to stand up for myself is fundamental to gain self-esteem and individuality. I look at the beauties around me falling in love day by day, and again and again, by re-discovering the world. So what’s in it for me and for us that encourages to keep us going and stirs our appetites? “I believe it’s love and passion”.
My life in Lisbon has changed me, I fell off the roller-coaster. I found a culturally fulfilling city, uncontaminated nature and living spaces neatly built around green areas. For many years I have been searching for meaning and purpose, I had the belief that there was something bigger waiting out there for me. At 33, I have finally found my balance and self-esteem, I can finally say that happiness is possible for everyone. I now believe that my skills and experience have been gained for the simple reason that I can share them with you. I can share with you my tall tales, without any time or space constraints.
In 2009, while living in London, I started studying linguistics and the aspect that fascinated me the most was the study of the communication gulf there is between men and women, as a product of nature and not nurture. By keeping this in mind, you’ll find that most of the times, my partner’s perspectives and mine clash, but we always end up laughing at the end about our differences. I am always amused by his train of thoughts. We spend much of our time comparing our ideas and opinions, fascinated in finding out which details of a story, situation or concept grasped his attention as well and what doesn’t. Compared to my tendency to over analise everything and everybody around me - I guess I'm just too curious for words and love to explore the real truths.
