Quite a mix: mom Italian, dad Serbian and I’m British. I’ve grown up living in Zambia, Tanzania, United Kingdom, Italy and France. I’m a passionate traveler, trying every month to hit a new destination. I always have at least one flight booked! From a language prospective I speak fluent English and Italian, in addition to having a B2 in Spanish, and am currently trying to study Russian (emphasis on trying; had lost motivation in the last months). Regarding my life and passions, I’m a Security Manager (cybersecurity, physical security, business continuity, threat intelligence, counterintelligence) in love with hiking, trekking , bodybuilding/powerlifting/calistenics and in general living outside. If I’m not answering straight away it’s because I’m travelling.
