After 6 years, I’m leaving London to travel the world; for the start, mostly Southern Europe. Can you blame me for looking to spend time in the actual sunny weather? Lol.
It's 2024. The feeling that no matter how hard you work, you still need to use stinky and packed underground to get to work. You still cannot afford to live by yourself.
My awakening showed me that my priorities changed from glamour to spending as much time in peace, nature and with my family as possible.
We are not meant to be sitting in front of the screens for 50 years to get a paycheck.

I left London and now I'm in a small Italian village where technology to help you being less social doesn't exist. Now, I'm realising how anti social I became in London.

In the whirlwind of social media, where chasing likes and views becomes our focus, we often lose sight of our true purpose. But it raises a crucial question: Are we actually creating content that resonates with us personally? And if so, would we mind if we get only 16 views for it?

I recently took a leap and watched a film without previewing its trailer for the first time ever. Why? Well, spotting Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix on the bill, I was pretty convinced it’d be a hit. Was I spot on? I aimed to keep my expectations in check, not wanting a repeat of the letdown I felt with ‘Oppenheimer.’
