Hi, 28 years old, from Italy, I'm a sailor, a traveller, a cook, a decorator. I have a three years BA in Architecture, classic/humanistic studies at high school, passion over painting and arta and crafts in general since I was a kid, love for people and cultures around the world. Working on sail and motor boat, as sailor or cook; I've been living on the Alps for a winter season working as a cook. I've been living with Native American's families in the US (Idaho, North Carolina, Minnesota ) for a three months period, helping out with some tasks or works they has to do in exchange for meals and accomodati, and in the meanwhile I experienced their amazing culture and some of their traditions, ceremonies, way of life. Love to help people, love to smile, positive attitude, desire to learn and do more and more and to keep improving myself and other's lives.

Life!

Indigenous people have a huge knowledge on how to behave, how to love and respect this world and everything on it. We need to make a step back, pause, and listen to them, because they know better. Let's be good human being, let's learn how to respect and do good.

I saw TED videos and got so inspired, so interested in many realities. It opened my mind aain, I closed it for a while but then it started opening more and more again. I thought of helping translating but I was sailing and Internet connection wasn't always available and was a period of important changes in my life...then I lived in the US for a while, and kept opening my mind every day more. Now I'm here again, always getting inspired by the amazing ideas TED is spreading, so now that I have the chance I would really like to get involved in these projects! I'd like to translate and to help in many different ways, I'd like to be a part of TED and help to keep it working and being so inspiring for people.

I think to show pretty much who I am to the people I face..they should know pretty much what I'm good at and what I'm not.
