Journeys

+ +

I have recognised the importance of travelling only during my + undergraduate and graduate studies. I was lucky to have the possibility to + combine studies and new cultural experiences.

+ +

Beside the usual good time spent in vacations with my family, I had + experienced three very intense long journeys. I will share more about each of + them in a separate blog post. So far, I summarise them here.

+ +

Journey to the East

+

This chapter of my life started with my exchange in the mainland China. + Between 2015 and 2016, I have spent the second grade of my bachelor's in + Shanghai. For a young western in his 20s, that was quite a shock initially, + but it slowly transitioned to a melting pot of fantastic memories and people. + During the various national holidays, I had the chance to travel around China + and south-east Asia. In 2017/2018, I came back to Shanghai, to experience the + working-life in the metropolis.

+ +

Balkan flavours

+

Two weeks in the middle of 2018's summer. I started this trip by visiting + Hungary and Slovenia in the Central Europe. Then the trip proceeded down to + the Southeastern Europe, passing through Croatia and finally reaching + Sarajevo. The culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina was fascinating, a real + authentic bridge between western and middle-east traditions. I want to explore + more this corner of Europe, since this was just a taste.

+

Before this trip, I was ignoring most of the countries in this region. Of + course we learnt about them in our education, but you know, names and + geographical position easily fade away when you only experience them in few + hours during classes.

+ +

Europe Rediscovery

+

The long time spent in Asia amazed me, but also made me re-appreciate what we + have here in Europe. For example, it's easy to travel around with a simple ID + card, by trains, ferries and cheap flights.

+

Because of this and many other reasons, during my master's degree, I enrolled + in the EIT Digital master + school. This programme fosters the entrepreneurial spirit of ICT students, + beside their technical major courses. It also lets us studying in two + different University around Europe, to experience different environments. In + my case, I chose Milano (Italy) and Helsinki (Finland). What's more, the + master school organises other side events, such as the + programme kick-off in Paris and a summer school in Stockholm (Sweden). + Thanks to this project, I could join an exciting network of like-minded + students. This is definitely a plus, which enriched the overall + experience. Unfortunately, near the end of my programme, a world-wide pandemic + stroke all over the globe.
