About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling to the moon

ABOUT ME

I'm a hard home worker. Wake up about 8.30 in the morning, take a shower, prepare a milk coffee and start to work on my darling computer. I turn on the radio or listen good music, or listen some live youtube stock market channels, to be more accompanied and do some business.
I work until 6.00 pm. Then I go to my running club for training. I run some marathons and trail competition during the year.
At night have dinner by my self at 9.30 pm, watch some youtube and then go to sleep.
Also, sometimes during week nights go for dinner to some friend's house.

Weekends, I run saturdays mornings, then do something for work on the afternoon an then go to a bar or club.
Sunday at noon we often eat lunch in family (as our italian tradition) in the afternoon go to a friend's house or go for shooping or stay at home, relax in the swimming pool, watch a movie or do some cleaning stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

My feelings about this life I'm living is to consolidate my financial situation, and get better in my job, learn things every day, to travel and visit different cultures, meet people from other latitudes, have fun, have a healthy life, try to be as happy as I can.
Also it is nice to be nice, help people if I can, and try to be a good person enough to be trusted for everybody.
