Born and rised in Italy. Left when I was 23 to travel and work around the world. After working as general manager and followed a private island resort in Tanzania I joined Central America and found my home and base in this town: Santa Catalina of Veraguas in Panama

A hidden gem in the pacific that serve Coiba National Park and the other islands, here a family of good crazy locals gave me access to his heritage and we together enjoy this part of the Ocean.

I dream to explore everyday this waters and no stay in land to loose precious time!

since I jined here, 10 years ago, I loved this part of the pacific for the variety, the numerous archipelago and the abundance of fish. Here ocean is still alive with many life and continue changing. the proximity to Coiba Park is bringing constant life to our waters.
