About Me

I want to keep this section short since who I am is all over this blog. I’m 23… so, here are 23 things about me that I believe define who I am and what I believe in:

1. I was born in Italy but have also lived in Spain, Chile, and currently, Denmark. (Yes, it’s a bit of a whirlwind.)

2. I am as unhinged and spontaneous as it gets, which probably led me to start this blog.

3. My childhood dream was to become a writer or journalist. I studied languages in high school, got a bachelor’s in International Economics and Management, worked in finance, and now I’m pursuing a Master’s in tech. Confused? Imagine how I feel! (If the point of this journey was meeting the amazing people I have in my life, then it was all worth it.)

4. At 16, I was studying English, German, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese. Now, I still need to learn how to order at a restaurant in Danish (I feel very bad about it).

5. I have 116,880 photos on my phone. As predictable as it sounds, I love taking pictures of landscapes, friends, and random strangers.

6. I feel everything deeply, which is both a blessing and a curse. Living intensely can teach you real happiness or break you apart; there’s no in-between.

7. I used to see things as black or white; now, I see that life comes with many different colors.

8. Traveling is a huge part of me and helps me continuously slide between different cultures.

9. I have been to Easter Island, lived in small & big cities and right in front of the Pacific Ocean.

10. According to statistics, I am a frequent flyer, yet I’m still scared of flying.

11. I love hard, live hard, and never want to wonder “what if?” as I’m strong and self-ironic enough to get over whatever I do.

12. I think a lot.

13. Writing has always been my coping mechanism.

14. I love meeting people.

15. I love helping people meet even more.

16. I am addicted to coffee. Five strong espressos a day, and I can move mountains.

17. I don’t believe in clichés. I’m Italian but don’t like cooking, and I like pineapple on pizza.

18. I believe in positivity and that complaining is never the solution. Why be the victim of your own story when you can be the main character?

19. Gratitude is fundamental to who I am. Nothing is guaranteed, even if we rarely realize it.

20. I am always thousands of kilometers away from my family and loved ones. Accepting that the people I care about will never be in the same place was tough, but it made me appreciate the present and the time I get with them.

21. I am a huge Taylor Swift fan (guilty) and could listen to music 24/7.

22. I am incredibly curious and believe you can never stop discovering things.

23. My eyes are green, blue is my favorite color, I like my nails long and bright red and I take my coffee with no sugar.

Always wear your heart on your sleeves, stay curious, be intense, true to yourself and you’ll never go wrong <3

Lots of love,

Elena
