They say we’re not meant to live in one place, and I don’t know if its true but I do feel like that. For my age I consider I’ve traveled a lot and I’ve been away from home so so many times, people often asks me why? If I don’t like my life in my town, or how does it feels like to be far from your “life” and having such an instable life where you constantly meet new people and you get to become so close to them, love them and a few months later you have to cry and say goodbye hoping to see them again some day, of how would I like to get adapted to a new city, new language, new food, a completely different lifestyle and a few months later going away and having to start to build your “life” again in some other place.

For me its just funny how every single person has its own way of seeing life and things. “Far from my life, from where my life is”? I don’t feel like my life is in one place, in one house. I’ve left a piece of my heart in so many places, houses and people! I saw once a quote that described perfectly how I feel about this..

“Home is where you make it yours”

“Home is where your heart is”

I feel like I have so many “homes” and I absolutely love it! I love the fact of changing.. (my next tattoo is actually about it) One of the thousand reasons why I LOVE traveling and going away is because I love the fact of “starting over”, of building, of meeting new people! Once you travel, you change your lifestyle and your way of seeing life! That moment when you go away by YOURSELF, get to be alone and a completely stranger in a city you’ve never been, in a language you don’t know.. There’s where fear appears, where you have to fight against them! And I know so many people who’s so afraid of this, or they simply don’t like it, but I proved by my own that once you fight against your fears of being alone or rejected and you give yourself the opportunity of traveling… your way of seeing life changes forever!

When I traveled from the first time in my life (by my own) my eyes changed on an unexplainable way!! I realized that were SOOOOO many things outside my tiny world! There’s so many nice and cool people out there waiting for meeting someone you, people who perfectly understands you and you can get along with so good! There’s amazing and delicious food you had no idea that could actually exist, so many cultures you wont think they’re real. I just seriously list a thousand of reasons why I LOVE traveling but I would make it so boring!

My main point is to tell you that we all should open our minds, arms and heart for new adventures, new people and a new lifestyle… we should give us the opportunity of changing our common life for a while... I promise that once you travel you life won’t be the same again :)

Italy is my own new adventure!

3 years ago I lived in Italy as well for 4 months (in Florence)

But as I’ve always said and learned: As much as you would like to repeat any experience, love, and feeling.. Things are IMPOSSIBLE to repeat! Every single thing we live is unique an that’s why we should appreciate every moment in our lifes!

I have so many things planned, dreams and desires for this year… and one big surprise to all those who want to live closer this experience with me!
