Hey there!
I'm Davide AKA Dave, I'm 29 and I'm glad to officially announce that me and my partner in crime Ginny just finished to restore our old relic of a camper van and we finally started our trip all around Europe.
To be honest, my whole life has basically been a long trip bouncing around the world. I grew up with my italian parents in northern France, learning the two languages together. After a few years in Italy, France called again and I had the chance to live in Paris where I started working as a cook to support myself during my university studies. It apparently worked and I got my Linguistics degree, then I spent some time in Italy between Bologna and Rome, sometimes working as a photographer, sometimes cooking in a restaurant's kitchen, sometimes making cocktails behind a bar's desk. But here we go again, when the opportunity arose I moved to Canada for a cinematographic research project and I stayed there for approximately a year until they contacted me from Brazil and they proposed me to continue my project there. And who am I to say no? So I moved to the southern hemisphere in a little town in central Brazil, I learned Portuguese, I finished my research project and I started teaching at the local university. But then a little thing called covid happened and I was stuck in Italy again. So more photographic and cinematographic works, and for a while I also found myself managing a chiringuito on the beach. And that's once again the part where I leave, this time for Montpellier in southern France, where I was supposed to stay for a week and instead I ended up becoming an Italian linguistics professor and moving there. In the last couple of years since I've been back I mainly worked on cinema sets and in television as a camera operator, and I made photoshoots for several magazines. I realise now that my bio is not exactly cohesive, but so isn't my life and that's the beauty and the quirkiness of it. I'm very active in voluntary work and social activism, specially with migrant people, children and everything concerning the right to housing. It is important for me to always try to put what I know and my skills at the service of the people and the social realities who might need them. It makes me feel useful and I'm convinced that when knowledge is shared, it acquires a deeper meaning.
In my wanderings I had the chance to learn several languages, so I can say Italian and French are my mother tongues and I hope this text doesn't contain too many mistakes so that I can affirm with sufficient confidence that I'm pretty fluent in English as well. I'm also a fairly decent Portuguese and Spanish speaker and a very bad and rusty Russian one.
I'm kind of a handyman, I love to repair stuff and to get my hands dirty with carpentry, mechanical works and woodwork. I learn by doing and I always try to put myself to the test with what I can't do yet. Because, you know, this way I can learn. And do it.
I play the guitar, the drums and some other odd little instruments, I love jamming with strangers and recently I started to stop caring and sing even if I'm clearly not a singer.
I'm an electronic music enthusiast but a fairly bad dancer, so of course you can always find me at techno & tekno festivals swinging gracelessly left and right.
I'm a sucker for analog photography, old cameras, darkrooms and film rolls. Omg, what a hipster cliché. But yes, this is really what brings me joy, and the satisfaction of developing a film and seeing your new pictures for the first time is a pretty rewarding experience, trust me on this one.
What else? I'm easy going and social, I love talking to strangers and exchange stories, I'm a passionate storyteller who talks a lot with his hands, cooking is my love language, I sew clothes as a form of meditation, I'm an tireless trivia machine and I have a deep passion for history and motors.
I don't know how convincing this bio is, but if something I wrote resonates with you give us a shout!

UPDATES ON OUR CAMPERVAN TRIP - WHERE WE HAVE BEEN / WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR:

- Helped turn an old farm house into a social hub in Germany (carpentry works, painting walls, restoring and moving furniture, gardening, cleaning, cooking and babysitting)

- Worked with hot-air sky balloons in the Netherlands (helped with preparing the equipment, welcoming passengers, assembling and disassembling the balloon before and after the flight, following the balloon along the road with a minivan and bringing back the passengers after landing, assisting takeoff and landing)

- Helped at a folk festival in Alsace, France with cooking (Dave), bartending and cafeteria (Ginny), cleaning, organizing and welcoming guests plus a lot of singing, jamming and dancing

We are now looking for an experience in Spain!
