Welcome readers!
This journal is an attempt to build
a cartography of the explorations I and I are doing
in life: a collection of experiences, encounters, ideas and things
learned outside of the usual box.
Our research method is nomadic,
aims always at crossing borders and seeks liberty of thought, healthy
criticism and hopefully good humour.
This website develops its narrative mostly
in text, inviting you to read and
explore
this exegesis:
browse and search the contents using the menu, read them on-line or
download the 
PDF
version of each page for later reading on your e-text device.
Suggestions, criticism and comments are well accepted: if you like,
contact me.
