Yesterday was a smiling day! A first look at the tourist, cultural, aesthetic London, made of colours and money. But the real London, I think, is in the meandering streets in the suburbs, in the kitchens and offices, and that's why I'll dig a bit deeper. Maybe even investigating at night, what is this unique city hiding? What will you tell me about it? A bit like people, the daughter cities of men, have stories to tell and if you don't spend the time you need to open them, it is difficult to listen to them. Then you have to keep waiting, with the maximum openness and with the respect they deserve.
Anyway, I’m starting to look on instagram to find someone tell me them stories. So if everyone know someone here, can share this post I published on instagram!
Anyway, Good Morning ☀️

Why travel alone? There is no exact answer to this question, but many experiences accumulated by many people. Surely it is an experience to test yourself, to explore not only the world, but above all yourself.
I made my first solo trip to Athens in 2015. For a few days, but it was an experience that marked my life forever. I did it initially because I needed to discover. I decided to leave home, break with the past and start a new phase by buying a plane ticket to a new country.

In this post I want to tell you the reasons why travelling alone is one of the most beautiful adventures you can have in life.
It doesn't matter how long you travel, the important thing is to take the decisive step. The experience you will have will be the tools of your life.
1. Discover your limits.
Traveling alone you will discover what your limits are and how willing you are to challenge them. Do you think you are comfortable sleeping in a dormitory with 30 people or sleeping in a tent in a forest?
2. Living with little.
When you are on the road you learn to appreciate simplicity. There is no more room for over-consumption and lots of souvenirs. From one day to the next you will find yourself no longer thinking about what to buy, but rather how to live beautiful hours with people who stimulate you and breathe the air you prefer.
3. Learn languages.
Being on the road also means facing the language bug. You will learn a lot of languages, and you will always want more. English alone or your mother tongue will no longer be enough, you will stimulate your brain to new idioms and expressions that will highlight your person better.
4. True friends.
Being on the road for many days will take you away from family and friends, and only from this point on will you understand who really loves your company. Many people will move away from you that you are no longer a fixed point in those moments of boredom of the day. Only those who have this experience will realize how few people really remain in your life.
5. There is always room for new acquaintances.
The more you travel, the more you will accumulate. Your reality will expand to many others, which will allow you to live your everyday life in a different way than before. You will be more aware of the world around you and the infinite possibilities, that you will wonder how you have been able to think only from one point of view.
6. The priorities in your life.
By coming into contact with new people, situations, sounds and smells, you will be able to consider your 'real' life at home more objectively. You will wonder if the things that used to be so important are still important. I, for example, have reduced all of my material possessions by 90%, until everything is packed in one piece of hand luggage.
7. Being responsible.
Travelling alone you can only blame yourself. You will learn to take responsibility and make fewer mistakes. Suddenly you realize that the world around you is exactly the cause of your actions.
8. To have a relationship with yourself.
Sometimes you may wish you had someone to share with, but as you travel alone you will learn to feel good in your own company. After a few days with other people, you may even feel the need for a little solitude. You will love the silence and time spent cultivating your passions.
9. Open-mindedness.
When traveling alone, you are more likely to question your beliefs and convictions. With no one to share them with, you will learn to open yourself to new lifestyles and to doubt your prejudices about certain cultures or traditions.
10. Traveling alone means never being alone.
Many times a travel companion is unwanted, it is random.
But that randomness turns into a blessing: someone with whom you can try new foods or have experiences that you would never have done alone. You cook together exchanging oil and forgotten spices, you get lost among a thousand different words and find yourself in the universal language of smiling. Thus, perfect strangers become inseparable travel companions. We help each other when we are sick, we make plans and share travel expenses. You share a piece of life.
Conclusion
When you leave alone you just have to do one thing: open the doors of your heart and mind. Leave with a light soul, leaving your prejudices and fears at home.

So many things change in a few days, and in a few days there are so many lives that are extinguished, so many days that pass, as many as the sighs that we emit, so many leaves that fall and those that grow back. In this time we have, sometimes we have to stop and understand how we exploit it.⠀
A lot of people ask me if I'm excited or how I feel before I go on this trip. I processed the answer in my sleep tonight, talking to someone in a dream. It is not the first time that I feel this urge, it happens often, that by staying in one place for a long time, I fall into depression or rather my creativity goes out. It happens instead that when I prepare a trip, that trip becomes the engine of my creativity, an explosion of ideas, the imminent deadline, causes me a duty to do and give, which is never fully completed but that fills my days as it does not in days of stasis.
I produced 10 videos in just under a week, new contacts, new ideas. So why not make this happen all year round. Traveling constantly and being stimulated by places and people of all kinds, discovering worlds, and continuing to pull the strings of the short time, the incessant production, the creative bond?
I think about my mother that I won't see anymore and maybe, I'm even more motivated today to seek, today I seek with a different will. I look for stories, I write my story, I look for experiences, I look for motivations, emotions, and I load them with light, ink and sound.

I’m back in Naples, Sant'anastasia precisely, I let you imagine, without a car the impact is like going from New York to the desert. Luckily there is the @victory_caffe which is always hospitable, where I spent some time chatting with friends and working on the planning of the next trip that I will reveal better in the coming days! - Pictures made with #iphonexs Edited with #adobelightroom -#narrowdistances (at Victorycaffe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Mk5kBC4Lv/?igshid=1n0mvulx9rhcy

Let's go back for a moment to the beginning of this New Year.
I have to go back to the beginning of this 2020 for a moment
So that's the way things went, starting 2020 I decided that I would invest time and money in the realization of an entire project at 360 degrees of everything I create and with all the tools I use.
I deleted all the videos I had on youtube and I started to upload new content, from there I planned a series of trips and contacted various people on couch surfing, On January 18th I left for London, and I stayed until January 24th, from there I flew to Berlin, where I spent my days, between videos and photos until today.
I worked for a while on the video of London, but I realized that it's not for me the work of the Vlog, it doesn't make me excited the situation of putting a camera in front of me to talk, surely it's much more pleasant to work on videos not with me as the protagonist, but with the images themselves. During my travels I tried to approach new people, but I realized that it is difficult to make new friends if you are new in a city.
Now I'm writing this post from Berlin airport, where I'm waiting for the 6:05 am flight that will take me to Naples.
Surely my travels don't end here. For several choices I have postponed my trip to Budapest which was scheduled for February 3, but I'm already planning to make another one for the end of February, traveling on the route Berlin > Prague, passing through Dresden and several other villages in Germany.

Whatever you prefer!
Enjoy
