My Interests
Just the main 3
Golf & Swimming
Learned to swim before I knew how to walk & I have been playing and watching golf since I was 8. Somehow I did not become a pro, but I will be more than happy to meet you at the course.
Travelling
I have to be forever grateful of the opportunity of going around the world in my short and young 21 years of life.
Privilege of few and a truly mind-opening experience.
Cooking
Ask me for Italian food! Ironically enough, I don't know how to make the awesome burger from the icon.
My motto
"Work and shape your reality until it becomes even better than your dreams... Then dream some more"
