Short bio: Born in 1989 in a small village in the wonderful Sicily, Italy, after being in an electrical school and start to work as Project Engineer in a solar company in Sicily, I decided to start another ‘match’ moving in the north of Italy working as Project Manager in another solar company for 1 and a half year. When the career was going quickly up, I decided to start again. I left everything and went in Australia to travel and work, then New Zealand, then Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and I will do more, hopefully don’t stop. I’ve changed myself in these last 2 years and now I feel with more knowledge even if I’m not study, I think the best knowledge you can learn is from the people, older or younger then you doesn’t matter.
