Interview with Emanuela
Ciao Emanuela, benvenuta su Easy Travel Hosting! Nel tuo blog, "Stanza Vista Mondo", offri consigli e suggerimenti per viaggiare in modo indipendente. Quali sono i vantaggi di organizzare i propri viaggi anziché affidarsi a pacchetti turistici? Hai qualche suggerimento per coloro che desiderano iniziare a viaggiare in modo più autonomo?
HI! Personally, it happened to me 3 times to rely on "tourist packages": 1 time for a week in a seaside village in Calabria and 2 times for 2 European itineraries with a tour operator in which I left alone but the trip was done for groups of around 30 people with a guide.
The other times I left I always preferred to organize everything myself! Since I was a teenager I have always loved a lot the part before departure: choose a destination, plan the itinerary, find accommodation, book the train or plane etc. This allows you to better satisfy your personal needs, you can organize your stay in a place according to your pace and if once you arrive you want to change itinerary you don't have to blame anyone without taking into account, finally, the flexibility of timetables which obviously couldn't be present in the organized trips I've taken!
In any case, for those who have never traveled alone, it is best, in my opinion, to start with short stays (1-2 days max) and in places not too far from your comfort zone (for example in the same region where you live) or as I did: leaving alone but with group trips organized in such a way as to don't feel completely lost and to have support in case of need.
Qual è stata l'ispirazione principale dietro la creazione del blog "Stanza Vista Mondo"?
About 15 years ago I discovered that I suffered from panic attacks, that year I had booked a 3-day trip to Barcelona alone and having had my first panic attack a few days before departure I canceled the holiday (and also lost the money for the flight...)
From there I started a journey with a psychologist. Obviously, but the idea of not being able to travel anymore never crossed my mind, so the following year I left alone but on a guided tour of Spain with a group of strangers so that I would still have someone to turn to in case of need. Then over the years, going through various steps, I managed to take solo trips to Italy organized in all aspects by me.
The idea of creating a blog all mine was born in July 2021 from the need to put on paper what I have inside, exorcise my fears, leave a trace and share everything I have been able to admire up close!
How do you intend to raise awareness and normalize the topic of mental health through your blog?
The topic of mental health is still taboo for many and there is a lot of it misinformation...I would like, by sharing my experience, to become a source of inspiration for people like me who suffer from anxiety disorders, panic attacks, phobias, stress, etc. Instill courage in them and invite them not to preclude the possibility of seeing how much there is beauty in the world!
On the Blog there is a section that I care a lot about: Room view...NO ANXIETY! Here there are articles where I talk about my experiences (not only related to travel), positive and negative, where I try to inform people as much as possible on this topic also through interviews with special guests where they talk about inclusion, psychology, accessibility, physical and mental well-being.
How can travel help a person face their anxieties and fears?
Premise: each person is a different case, also because we do not all experience the same symptoms. My advice is always to be followed by a professional.
There have been periods in which I even struggled to leave the house so I know that it is not a short and easy route for everyone... maybe before venturing into visiting distant places you can start by going to an exhibition or visiting a monument in your own city on your own.
Traveling can be scary like all the things we have never done... the first step is always to start!
Personally, doing so helps me a lot to get mine back into my own hands autonomy, to acquire more safety e awareness of my abilities and every time I come home stronger!
When I felt ill away from home I took it as an opportunity to test myself and once I got over it, the feeling of having done it was wonderful!
Furthermore, there are remedies to use if necessary which I will talk about soon on the blog! 😊
As you know, Easy Travel Hosting uses renewable and eco-sustainable energy to power its servers. Furthermore, a tree is planted for each new hosting, actively helping reforestation and the absorption of CO2. What do you think of this project and in general, do you think it is important to seek a more sustainable lifestyle?
I know your project and one of the reasons why I chose you to create the my blog it was precisely your attention to the planet. It seems obvious but it is a very serious and real problem given all the natural disasters of recent years... we cannot/must pretend nothing has happened!
So I fully support this type of initiative! If each of us did our part in our own little way, it would already be a good first step!
