WRITING — SPOTLIGHT STORIES

Globetrotters Writer Spotlight — Vi

Bad choices make good stories. For my accountant.

Hey Globetrotters, I’m Vi 💜 Here, is a personal retrospective on how I sabotage my itineraries.

I love to travel because life is movement 🗺

Life is a journey. I just want to experience it all.

My number one travel activity is hiking for a view from above 🔭 🏔

(I do also take the lift. More often than I’d like to admit) Wherever I go, I always find a view to reach for looking at things from above. It can be a volcano or skyscraper, I just love to find perspective on the bigger picture.

I come from a place full of rivers in Italy 🇮🇹🍷🍕🍝

I was born in Italy. Then I moved to Ireland. Then to Spain, then to Portugal, then to the UK. Eventually, I just gave up relocating and kept moving.

I work my dream job in design 💫

As a digital nomad with a kick-ass team working on financial inclusion in Africa.

The best place I’ve been is underwater like a mermaid 🧜‍♀️

Scuba diving was one of the things I was most frightened about. I just really love to breathe. The beginning was hard and panicking was easy, but past that moment, floating weightless in the depths of the ocean was unique.

In my spare time, I like to dance 🎶

I love to write, read, the outdoor, and spend time in the darkroom with films. But give me music, and I’ll give you moves — tequila said.

My top travel tip is to go solo

Ignore the fear and go, feel that freedom. This is the best act of kindness and self-love I give myself.

If I could live somewhere else I’d live in space 🪐

Just for a bit. If in my lifetime I’ll be able to float around without gravity looking at our planet, oh man, I’ll go on my final adventure with real peace.

My favorite way to travel is in contact with nature 🌍

Flying above the clouds, crossing countries on the road, floating on the water. Anywhere I can feel in contact with the earth, myself, and less with my backpack 🎒

Three lessons I’ve learned from traveling are:

  1. Listening. While talking with locals. The best stories lie there 👋
  2. Stop taking so many pictures. Kills the battery and the moment 📸
  3. No matter how much you think you’re prepared. Night buses are fucking uncomfortable 🚌
