Life along the rails

Walking in Northern Kolkata, India, I discovered the slum along the rails. Despite the hard conditions of life, the lack of hygiene and the extreme poverty they have to face, I encountered men, women and children ready to welcome me with the warmest of the smiles.
I never met anybody with the same grace and dignity as these people: belonging to the slum community, for them, means being part of a family able to sustain them and to assure the strength necessary to face every day’s challenges.
My friends say that I just can't stop. Let's say, I find it easy to keep myself occupied. The world is made to be discovered and my camera lets me get in touch with everything I come across. I like to interact with people, make them smile and learn from them. I am currently running a personal project about working homeless and I am fascinated by the humanity it allows me to discover day by day.
I am an observer of humankind and my dream is to collect stories from around the world. I have a worldmap tattooed on my back - a note to myself: never give up pursuing your dreams!
I love all aspects of travelling. The documenting and planning phase before the departure; the infinite quantity of life experiences provided by the unforseen glitches that happen in the field; and the return, when memories come back to life again through the images. What do I love most? Making new friends and experiencing the world with them. I strongly believe that sharing is the most effective way to grow and improve as an individual.
