kevinverduci

Hi, my name is Kevin Verduci and I’m a 28 years old from Italy. I am born in a little mountainous region in North Italy, called Aosta Valley, famous for mountains and for winters. Nature ha always been part of my everyday life, especially because in Aosta Valley it is pretty common living in a forest. During my university career I have studied Political sciences and afterwards International sciences in Turin. These passions led me to travel and make new experiences all over around Europe and more. My firs experience abroad was in Malta, then I had the opportunity to live in Spain, in France and in Camerun. These experiences led me to grow and improve myself and become more aware of the world and the problematic that characterize it. I have chosen to come here and starting this new experience with CGE because I like to participate in the community, get involved and share multicultural experiences, getting in touch with local communities.
