Parque nacional Medanos de Coro, Venezuela

I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life.
Leo Tolstoy

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.
Henry David Thoreau

Any fool can make a rule.
Henry David Thoreau

It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know.
Henry David Thoreau

Go Confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.

...and travelling philosophy

I love sleeping in stations & airports

Just be indipendent! Go everywhere your crazy head wants to go and follow the way your soul shows to you.
Then, when you get lost, open your eyes and you 'll be in another wonderful world. I'm travelling!!!!
And I feel happy to live!
:)

IF...

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about,don't deal in lies,
Or being hated,don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good,nor talk too wise;

If you can dream- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think- and not make toughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to,broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose,and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you,but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more important- you'll be a Man,my son!

Why "Spring" in my nick....

No,i'm not a lover of the spring season...at least not so much to use it as part of my nick.
The fact is that my german grand-mother's surname was spring and,by mistake, i got it instead of the one of my father (mistake due to a misunderstanding when i was born in caracas....).
So,having that surname that in italian sounds pretty funny, many of my friends started to call me "spring" and i got used to that...so this is the explanation.
Now hope you'll like my pages and i'll be more than happy to hear from all of you!!!:)
