TRAVELER AS I GROW UP
CARMEN'S TRAVELS
I'm Carmen, I'm almost 37 years old and I made my first trip in my mother's belly, then I've always moved, in small or large steps. Traveler growing up is the blog where Carmen talks about her travels as an adult.

HERE'S THE QUESTION THAT GIVES EVERYONE A CRISIS: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU GROW UP?
This is a question that could stump many. I answer by telling an episode: I work in a nursery school with children aged 3 to 5/6 years old. I read, chat, play with them... and it may be this closeness, it may be that I'm not very tall... I think they don't have the full perception of my being an "adult". The fact is that one day a child asked me (as I also tell in my blog): "Teacher, what do you want to do when you grow up?" And I, very calmly, replied: "The traveller!".
WHICH COUNTRY OR CITY THAT SNAPPED YOUR HEART?
When I travel I always leave a piece of my heart in the places I visit. But Cuba has undoubtedly stolen an important portion of it: its colors, the joy and friendliness of the people, the postcard landscapes, the music in the street...
I SEE YOU OFTEN TRAVEL TO ITALY. DO YOU PREFER OUR LAND OR FAR AWAY PLACES?
I love travelling, whatever that means: whether it's reaching distant places or roaming the length and breadth of my beloved Italy. I travel a lot in the beautiful country and I think I am also helped in this by the fact that I am a Pugliese who moved to Rome and therefore I know the two realities quite well. I believe that Italy is one of the few countries in the world to offer the most varied breathtaking landscapes (from the sea to the mountains), art, culture, traditions, gastronomy... an explosive mix!
WHAT DO YOU DO TO MAKE YOUR TRIPS MORE ECOLOGICAL?
I always try, even on small trips, to use public transport or move on foot. In particular, when I move around Italy I often travel by train. Furthermore, for a few years I have abolished the use of plastic by using only water bottles in aluminum and, when possible, reusable containers.
