Today, I finished my journal. This is the private one where I write in stream of consciousness whenever I feel like it. No rules, no pressure. It was given to me by a friend as a Christmas gift and I started it on January 1st of this year. The plan was to use it throughout… Continue reading Currently – August 2019
Getting my very first smartphone (which was a second-hand iPhone 4) and opening my Instagram account gave me so much freedom concerning photography. As I've already written before, I used to take photos all the time. And, even if I never managed to get so many followers on Instagram (even if I consider 1k a… Continue reading What I learned about in-app purchases and why I don’t buy them anymore
Since I'm an avid journaler, I thought it might be fun to share what's inside my Traveler's Notebook. The way I use them is pretty simple: I glue down every bits and piece (like tickets, receipts, beautiful paper, cards, etc.) I stumble upon or receive with the addition of some embellishments and, occasionally, some words.… Continue reading A peek inside my Traveler’s Notebooks

This is probably the very first Spring in my life that I manage to do the so-called "Spring cleanings" during the correct season because I'm in this weird limbo between finishing my thesis and waiting for graduation. (Spring break doesn't exist here in Italy. We only have Easter holidays but they are just 3-4 days… Continue reading Spring
