Per 13 anni ho utilizzato il tempo lasciato libero dal mio rapporto di lavoro part-time verticale per viaggiare e conoscere da vicino realtà che promuovono stili di vita alternativi. Ho collaborato con Casa Naturale e Ville e Casali pubblicando alcuni reportage (Copenhagen, Messico, New York) e numerosi articoli e approfondimenti sul tema del green lifestyle. Ho attivato un co-living (Casa Italia) in una località nella penisola dello Yucatan, Messico e seguito la nascita di un ecovillaggio.
