It started with a three months idea of a career break, to fully immerse myself in the Indian culture, while deepening my practice and studies of meditation, creating more space for self-growth and personal projects. Back to Italy in March 2023 for a little, I got back to work, but deciding to continue my nomadic, slow and kind of isolated lifestyle, living for a few months in a meditation center in a forest of Umbria region. This little break from Asia made me realise I wanted to immerse more in their culture, so I went back to India, ending then in Thailand, this time working remotely, but at a slow pace, giving space for some volunteering too. It has been really challenging but extremely rewarding, in many aspects. Everything started with the intention of leaving everything behind: I sold my car, and any kind of useless material object, left the house, and - at first - I left back my professional identity too. Why? I realised how much we identify ourselves with our professional roles, achievements, sucess, at the point that we often forget who we really are. However, do we know who we are? So, this is the question I carried with me, allowing the path to reveal something. No pretention to come back with any answer, but more openness and detachement.

Erasmus+ Program: volunteering in the cultural field. This program featured an overarching project called Youth Culture. Through this initiative, we developed a program of events and activities aimed at increasing teenagers' engagement in cultural activities while also ensuring greater access to culture for disadvantaged groups. Additionally, I had the opportunity to teach at an educational center for children from underprivileged families, where I contributed to their learning journey. I also proposed and implemented a pilot project in an elementary school, using art as a medium for education and creative engagement.
