When I went diving for the first time in 1996 it was love at first sight and from there I became addicted to diving, a true scubaholic born it changed and marked my life forever. Since I was a child I was always educated with love, respect, passion for nature and life. Thanks to my parents I am what I am now, a lover of nature and art have always been present in my life with friends and family. The things I like the most are: diving, mountain biking, road biking, traveling, hiking, food, music, art, dogs.
