My summer vacation!

Welcome back!

Some news about my summer vacation: those had been amazing! As I said, those had been the destinations of my travel.

Zurich: I went there to meet with the national presidents of my term in AIESEC. So I spent very good moments with Aine (Ireland), Lars (Norway), Francois (France). Indeed there were few more people around and all together we had a lot of fun.

Then I moved to Pisa to stay a bit with my family and meeting with Michele. I was there with Pimpy too!
Third stop had been Malta. I'd never been there and I was so surprised! The sea is super, really, I couldn't imagine. As I wrote in previus post, I was there with Pimpy and two amazing hosts: Barbara and Alba. I felt like at home, thanks my friends.

And as last I went to Sicily to attend at Maria and Giuseppe's wedding. It was a magic moment, Mary looked so happy and I was pleased to be there.

That's to give you an insight of how much I'm missing vacation!

Cheers and peace!

I've a door in front of me. Above it a text: "VACATION!"

I'm counting down the days. So far 6 are missing until my summer holidays. Three amazing weeks of relax and friends.

Before talking about what will happen, I would like to stop on what happened one year ago. I was on a plane to NY with Michy. I was going to have maybe the best summer of my life... I miss so much it, every time that I think about NY I almost cry. I hope one day I'll go back there.

Anyway, this year will be much different.
FIRST PART: 3 days in Zurich for our WENA MCPs reunion. Last time was in Munich in 2007, that's quiet a long time. I'm so happy I'm going to spend some time with them, full immersion in memories and feelings.
SECOND PART: 4 days in Pisa. A sort of excuse to meet with my family and some friends. I'll be there with Pimpy (alias Matteo Orsi). Beaches, food, sleep. No more plans for it!
THIRD PART: 12 days in Malta, still with Pimpy. It will be my first time there, I'm so excited. I'll hosted by two special friends, Barbara and Alba, thanks in advance my dears. What will happen there? Parties, beaches, parties and so on! WOWOWOWOW
FOURTH AND FINAL PART: 3 days in Sicily. Maria, one of my best friends, is going to marry so I'll go in the island (it's quiet long time that I don't go there) to see some relatives and to enjoy that special moment.

This is the plan and this is most probably my last post before I come back in Milan at the end of August. So, I'm wishing you all the best for this special August.

Cheers and peace.

Update: my 2009 legacy and my current life

Hello fans,

it's been a long time, let's try to resume what happened, looking at my legacy (see Jan. the 2nd post).
  • Be hired in PwC as employer. --> I currently had my internship contract renewed until the end of November. It's quiet complicated to understand what will happen at the end of this period. What I know is that I'm trying to do my best. Despite that I'm still looking around for new opportunities, you'll never know...
  • To move some steps towards the company that I want to start in some years. --> Well, honestly I didn't do that much. I've shared my ideas with some friends and I've also defined the activities that I would like to run. I see it as a long-term project even if I would like to build some solid basis this year.
  • Be a volunteer for ABIO (Patch Adams) n.g.o. --> DONE! I finished with classes and now twice a month I go into a hospital in Milan to read fables and stories to children before they go sleep. It's an amazing experience, full of emotions and smiles. I'm incredible happy for what I'm doing.
  • To have a stable "love" life. --> I can say that I've never been so far from the word stable. No more comments to add.
  • Keep in touch with all the friends that I care the most and that are far from Milan. --> I'm doing it well with some friends, less good with others. In the past months I didn't do so much in order to get close to all of them, just few things (I'm not even writing so much in the blog...). I see many improvements for this area.
  • To practice sport regularly. Well, I can say that I did well. --> So far at least twice a week I went to play soccer or running or swimming. I can be satisfied, even if I can do more.
  • To make at least 3 travels abroad and to visit at least one place where I've never been before. --> So far: Wien and Prague, where I've already been before. Already planned: Zurich (I've already been there) and Malta (first time). That means that by the end of August the target will be achieved.
With these few information I gave also a good update about my life. What more? My life in Milan is going on extremely well, I strenght few more friendships, I'm involved in a soccer tournament and I usually hang out in the evening at least five times a week.
With Fede, my housemate, everything is going fine, I can't complain at all abut him.

Last: I wrote something about my summer vacation before. That's my final plan: Zurich (3 days), Pisa (3 days), Malta (12 days), Sicily (3 days). The most of it (Pisa and Malta) I'll be with Pimpy (Matteo Orsi). In any case, if you'll be around...

Cheers and peace!

Tomorrow Butterflies meeting in Sirmione!

One year had been passed since we met all together in Florence having good time and sharing memories and dreams about our future. Many things happened during these months and it will be absolutely amazing to meet again sharing all those experiences that we had.

What am I talking about? Pretty obvious: the AIESEC in Italy member committee members are going to meet tomorrow along Garda's lake!

This meeting is happening in a perfect moment of my life, right when I've so many questions with so few answers. I'm really looking forward for it and to see again all my dear friends.

Wish to update some feelings and pics of these 4 days next week.

Cheers and peace.

Happy Easter

Hello my friend,

right now I'm in Pisa to celebrate Easter with my family. I've met with some friends and still I've some to meet. Tomorrow I'll jump on a train to go back to Milan. In the end it was a short vacation, relaxing and eating a LOT!

Some updates. I've moved in the new house a month ago, it's super! Federico and me are sharing a room together and we have a kitchen and a living room (plus a bathroom of course!). The house is very nice and it's right in the centre of Milan and very close to my office.

Job, that's a nice subject. Time for my internship is getting over, just a month and a couple of weeks left. I hope that soon I'll be updated by PwC about my future and I also hope that the update will be positive. So far I've got very good feedbacks about my work and my approach, so I've faith about being confirmed and hired inside the company. By the way the financial crisis that we are living in this period doesn't make me feel comfortable and that positive. We'll see.

In the end my last thought goes to the people in Abruzzo (an Italian region) that had been living tremendous moments because of and earthquake: that tragedy was enormous, I've also cried because of that I hope from the really bottom of my heart that they will be able to rise up again and to start their lives.

Cheers and peace.
