This blog post shouldn’t exist. The very words you are reading should have never been written. Writing about my recent trip to Thailand during the holidays wasn’t according to plan. And it wasn’t according to plan not because I didn’t want to repeat myself and publish yet another post about a trip on the other side of the world. My blog posts are not about narrating any event that happened to me anyway.

Like last year, also for this year’s summer holidays I have decided to travel through the (in)famous Italian tour operator specialized in organizing hard core trips. I am talking about Viaggi e Avventure nel Mondo (Trips and Adventures Around the World), the tour operator funded in the 70s targeting people who have so many holidays that can afford to go travel with them first and then take a further week off to recover.

It’s Christmas time again! After going through a very intense period at work, I can now finally take some time off. My intention for the holidays is to do nothing but basking into the sweetness of the Christmas atmosphere and enjoying the magic of this time of the year.

On August 11th I moved to Lausanne, in Switzerland. I’m joining a cybersecurity startup only in September, but I wanted to move way earlier to have the time to settle down with no rush. This planned didn’t work… as planned.

You might have guessed by now that I’m obsessed with stuff like eating well, lowering my plastic consumption, exercising and staying fit.

Last month I was in Brussel for the final review of the EU-project that funded my PhD. I was nervous and felt like I didn’t belong.
