A job I enjoyed I love my job, although it doesn't give me yet enough freedom for living the life of my dreams. I started to work as books editor in 2011, because I've always been passionate about books. I like reading and writing, but correct and proofread someone else books is like building something. You have to seek and extract the real author voice, made it stand out in a way that even the author himself can't do. Furthermore, it is a really immersive job, while you make it, you don't think about nothing but the story. Unfortunately, is not easy to find clients willing to pay for this kind of services, especially here in Italy, where authors think that literature is only matter of inspiration. That's why I don't have advices for the ones who would like to work in Publishing. The only thing I know is that you have to work hard, as I'm doing for launching my own business. I have an idea for a new digital company that could give me the freedom to finally be location independent. As to say, traveling while working. Fingers crossed.

Airport Story Usually, if I have to travel around Italy, I take the train, but that time I had the occasion to book a seat on the plan in advance with a good discount. So, I was at the Catania airport, waiting in queue for the security controls. When was my turn, I passed the check and the alarm starting to ring. I didn't know why, I've taken off all earrings, rings and belt. The security guard asked me to take off my shoes, and that's what I did, but the alarm rang again. Everyone stood there have started to look me with suspicion. The guards were looking in my hand baggage, one of them opened the laptop case and found a bunch of money. I put them there because I've never brought a wallet with me, I tried to explain, but I think they took me for some kind of drug dealer. After a while, and a lot of questions, they left me go. Eventually, I was getting myself back in order, when I put a hand in my pocket and felt the cold of the coins... I've forgotten to put the change away when I bought a cup of coffee... Really? Everything for some change that they even found? It was so embarrassing...

An awkward shopping experience I saw this stylish leather pair of sandals on a stand in a little market.

Unfortunatelly, at home, once put on my feet they seemed a little bit tight. I tryed to wear them anyway, but they hurted me, at the same time, I knew It was impossible aks for an exchange in a street market. However I wanted to take a shot. I went back at the stand and the assistant has been very rude, what should I do with a used pair of sandals? He said, I certainly can't resell them to someone else. He was right, but I didn't want to give up, that's way I made a proposal he couldn't refuse: I'd have bought another pair of shoes for the half of their price and kept the sandals.

My favorite outfit I usually wear denim jeans, shirt and tennis shoes, but I like classic suits, tight skits under lace shirt and high heel, mostly I like to look at them because I didn't feel very comfort to put on those kinds of clothes to walk around, unless It was a special occasion, like a date or a night at theater. If someone gave me a lot of money I wouldn't like to buy clothes anyway, but if I had to for once in my life I'd buy a branded suit, like an elegant Valentino for trying how is to wear something you only watch on TV.
