Since high school, I've tried out a lot of different hobbies, but if I think about long lasting ones that have helped me to develop myself and my personality, I have just a few in mind. Of course, reading is my "oldest" hobby: when I was 7, I fell in love with the Harry Potter saga and since then, I've found the chance to discover different worlds, stories, characters and lives in books. In the last year, I've been attending a book club at a public library and I've discovered the pleasure of sharing my opinions, and discussing books and thoughts. Also, I have started a book club with my best friends (we are now reading the third book on our list). In 2018, during my Erasmus experience in France, I started practising yoga. At the beginning, it was just a way for me to exercise and relax, but I gradually began to notice the benefits of this discipline. Last year, I started a yoga teacher training course and in one year from now, I'm going to be a yoga teacher! I'm so excited to find out more every day about the physical, spiritual and mental aspects of yoga! I'm also really interested in the connection between health, sustainability and respect for nature. It's exciting for me to try to improve my lifestyle every day by eating vegan food, buying local products, and using my bike and public transport. Since I became more financially independent, I have also had the opportunity to travel more often, especially to countries that are really far away from Italy. Last year, I went to India, Iceland and New York; now I'm about to come back from a road trip in Scotland, and I'm planning a trip to Mexico with a friend in December. Discovering new places and cultures is one of my passions!
