Hi again friends!
I'm from Rome, I was born and always lived here. Such a beautiful city in such a beautiful country. Travelling is a pleasure I discovered quite late in my life because I'm not from a rich family.
I started travelling to improve my English paying the courses abroad with private lessons I gave to kids during my school and university years.
I made treasure of it being one of a few people in the companies where I worked that was able to speak a decent english to partners and people from all the world, so I have been sent to many meetings throughout the world for work. The great part of all this is that everything was free!
Most of my journeys were made for work, at least officially, I chose the destinations ;-)), and here I am to tell the stories of those adventures.
Finally I landed in VT on October 2001 while I was surfing the net on a (rare) free moment in office.
I found that VT was a great place to meet people and to tell the stories of my travels, so I built pages and pages. What fun! What great satisfaction!
Now I'm back online after a long silence, for some reasons I decided to stop but now curiosity had me again and so here I am.
I really hope that some of you still remember me. I will try to rebuild and improve my old pages and add new tales of experiences, so....
STAY TUNED!
