I realized I haven’t posted here since my birthday. That feels like forever, considering how often I used to update my blog. But a lot has happened in the meantime, and I’m going to catch you up:

• Never in a million years would I have imagined calling myself a content creator… Yet, if we’re putting labels on things, I guess that’s what I am now. I started a podcast for fun, in Italian, called Modalità Carriera. It’s about Italians around the world working in the video game industry.

• I didn’t stop there. My passion for eFootball has grown so much, and my X account has exploded because of it, that I decided to start a YouTube channel in English. I just comment on the matches I play online and share some gaming tips every now and then. It’s a ton of fun, even though it takes up almost all my free time.

• We went to Las Vegas in July for a quick weekend and saw Lady Gaga at Levi’s Stadium. We also visited The Sphere, and hands down, it was the most thrilling experience of my life.

• Speaking of concerts, in early September, we went to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to see Oasis. Definitely the concert of a lifetime!

• I stupidly fractured two ribs after slipping in the bathtub at home. For a whole month, I slept like a mummy, stuck in one position. Only recently have I started getting back to normal.

Now we’ve got a week of “vacation” in Italy coming up. We’re going back for the wedding of two dear friends, but we’ll be back exactly seven days later. The time zone change won’t be easy to manage, but we’ll make the most of it with family, friends, and, of course, tons of food!
