Welcome to Easy Travel hosting! Journalist, blogger, environmentalist and red head. You could talk to you about you and how your blog is born?
Thank you so much for the reception!
I am a 31 year old, Born and raised in Rome, a city that I love and that continues to amaze me every day. I graduated in linguistics with the dream of teaching but in the meantime I also carried on the passion for journalism, collaborating with a press agency and with several online newspapers, dealing in particular of sustainability, Travel and technology.
Today I work just as a freelance journalist, collaborating in particular with a communication agency and press office.
My blog was born a few years ago: I created it together with my adventure partner, Matteo, and our two little stuffed owls, Arturo and Gertrude who over the years have become real mascots. In their “honour” the blog was initially called Loveisanowl, while from 2019 he changed his clothes and name, becoming Gio's Suitcase: a virtual suitcase in which to collect my passions and share travel notes, reviews, emotions, photo.
I always hope to give the right advice to my readers! I dedicate a large space of this suitcase to sustainability, which represents an essential aspect for me, not just when traveling but in life in general.
In your blog there is a large part about traveling to Italy. In your opinion, also perhaps due to recent limitations, More obsolete and interesting Italian destinations are being rediscovered?
Without a doubt, the health emergency has pushed Italians to remain within national borders. I believe that this in general has allowed us to rediscover destinations "back home" too, which are sometimes the most unexpected and particular.
At the same time, I noticed a great attention for the mountains and for destinations "away from the crowds", where it is therefore possible to rediscover contact with nature and live your holidays more peacefully.
I take this opportunity in this context to tell you about the project of "Destination Italy”, a guide created by 193 blogger during the first lockdown of 2020 with the aim of raising funds to support Emergency operators, engaged on the front line of the health emergency, e – at the same time – designed to relaunch tourism and invite you to rediscover Italy.
This guide, born as an ebook for fundraising, it later also became a paper guide with Polaris and an audio guide on Loquis. Anyone can thus listen to or read Ben's stories 300 destinations and Emergency always retain all copyright.
The guide was conceived just as a journey through all the 20 Italian regions: an opportunity to discover little-known places, hidden and unexplored corners of our beautiful country not generally present in traditional tourist guides, with the aim of promoting and relaunching the tourism sector, among those most affected by the emergency.
In the travel section in England I see that you have followed in the footsteps of Tolkien and Harry Potter. You're a fantasy lover?
What do you do to make your travels more ecological?
There are many things that can be done, also depending on the journey you choose to make.
When I can privilege, for example, the most sustainable means of transport (For example, the car train is better, In some cases I also chose to make the train combo+bike). The choice of the hotel is equally important: I always inform myself if the structure implementing precautions to reduce the ecological imprint. Anyway, I avoid making me change daily sheets and towels if it is not necessary, or I avoid taking disposable kits if I already have my beauty case on hand.
For eating, I privilege places and restaurants that serve local and organic food and during my stay I take care of recycling (sometimes he even brought the garbage home just to throw it away correctly!).
Furthermore, a water bottle is never missing from the suitcase, which allows me to avoid the use of plastic bottles, while thanks to my smartphone I avoid printing tickets and reservations, using digital versions of tickets.
In any case, I always like to remember that to be an eco-friendly tourist it is important first of all to inform yourself, before departure, on uses, customs and traditions of the place you are going to visit: Being sustainable means respecting not only the environment but also people.
Good echo-banging to everyone!
