About Me

Who am I? Bah. 30, single, from a small village of Abruzzo, Villa Iubatti, southern Italy, close to the Adriatic Sea and the Majella Massif: a truly amazing natural and social environment. Graduated in Sociology of Development in Bologna some years ago, I used to work with some NGOs, but at the moment, i own a small b&b, and i am happy like that.I hate guns, massonery, and "the New World Order"'s idea, I produce some good "Montepulciano" wine, I have a wonderful dog, Djerda AKA Gina, and I love Sumatra's padang food, Vicky's chiles rellenos of La Ticla, Mexico (Pacific Side), the "brodetto della Trattoria Adriatica" that costs 8 euros and rocks, and the maroccan tajine, i should write it. Everyone should see a "Trabocco" of Abruzzo once in his life, that is what i think. While home, I surf a rivermouth in Central Adriatic, just in front of one of the most polluted rivers in Italy, the Moro river. That's what we got, concrete Adriatic devotion. I am not able to use computers, i still use a 81' Canon AE1, a 84' Phonola cassette player in my car, and i speak english, french, and spanish. I should learn some portuguese, i reckon. I do not play any musical instrument, i spent years trying to learn how to play violin - with no results - , i do trust in Eraclito's panta rei. If i could choose my next reincarnation, i would be a dirty blues'singer, a system's administrator, or a svasso maggiore. By the way, i am interested in transhumance's phenomena, i think that nomadism is the key, somehow, i like maps, photography, sheeps and wool, cultural anthropology, deserts, mountains, and, of course, Surfing. Yeah.

My Interests

Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea, the Bay of S.Donato, the eyes of girls, the art of surfing, mountains, maps, (expecially old ones), and photography. What's more??? Ah, fishing. I know, i know, but fishing -to feed on- is amazing.

I'd like to meet:

Myself!!?!??!.
