Prima della partenza Ogni viaggio comincia prima della partenza. Il quando, il dove, il come… Per tutta la mia vita ho passato parte dell’estate (e tutti i miei compleanni) in Grecia, nella regione del Pilio. La direzione era quindi già decisa (ed anche il mezzo), ma rimaneva da scegliere dove andare una volta finito il … Read more
I have never really considered Philosophy as something useful during my whole life. Philosophy was our target of jokes at the Math Department (together with Psychology). During high school, we studied Literature and History, and the thoughts and ideas that marked historical periods, but we never really dove into, even basic, philosophical matters. Even when … Read more
It seems like in April I’m going backwards a little bit. I don’t feel very motivated, due to the weird times we are living. I’m still doing good: waking up every single day at 6 and having my morning routine of exercising, meditating, and studying, but I recognize I’m living waiting for this times to … Read more
I’ve never really liked the idea of wearing a Smartwatch or an activity tracker on my wrist. I think I stopped wearing watches in middle school: after all, who needs it when we all have a smartphone in our pockets?

In this post I’m gonna show you how to … Read more
February is starting with some hope. Vaccines, less severe laws regarding movement here in Italy, and bars opening. I decided to wake up a little bit earlier than the last month, meaning I get up at 7am (I know it’s not that early but I’m going gradually here) for my morning routine. I’m also seriously … Read more
Have you ever checked how much time you are spending daily on your smartphone? How many times are you unlocking your phone screen? How long are you scrolling down the Facebook or Instagram feed for a wonderful recipe for unhappiness? We all know (hopefully) that we spend too much time on our phones, but let’s … Read more
When I was a young boy I always listened to my parents, my relatives, and my teachers. I think that was a good behaviour, dictated by my insecurities (bad) and my awareness of not knowing much (good). I still think that kids and impulsive people should really understand how to stop acting on their own … Read more
