Ehm, ehm. Hard to know how to introduce myself here. Should I be formal, funny, inspirational, entertaining?
I am just going to go with honest and see what happens.

Hello, dear steemit community! Excited to be part of this innovative community!
Why am I here?
Well, I like writing, but I have the feeling I am not doing it enough. I have a blog (https://smilingtravelerblog.wordpress.com, in case anyone is interested) but the thing is I am a perfectionist and I spend ages writing blog posts and choosing pictures and fixing format.
I kind of need a way to write where no one knows me, where I don't really think too much about who reads and what they think. So, I am trying this out.

Let's get back to the introduction: I am Italian, I come from a small mountain village up in the beautiful Alps. I lived in five cities around Europe (6 years ago I moved abroad for the first time). Now I am back and trying to start out a new freelancer project and become location independent. Because I realized I hate offices and want to be free to work from anywhere. I also love traveling, I have been more or less all over Europe, many places in South East Asia, a couple in Africa and waiting for a chance to see the Americas.

What else? I also love yoga, swimming, the wind from the ocean, hiking, food, stupid jokes, volunteering, reading, getting inspired and all about technology.

My dream is to become a marketing consultant and strategist for social enterprises and non-profits and help them spread their important messages and missions, thus contributing to changing the world and spreading positivity and hope for the future.

I could go on and on and on, I guess. Summarizing 27 years in a page is not as easy as I thought. But I'll wrap it up for today and be back to writing another story soon. Feel free to ask me questions and give me ideas for future posts :)

Here is a picture of my village, for context.
