Into an Italian family

Into an Italian family

Italy | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 4 photos

I am Irene and I was born in Italy, though I love to consider myself as a citizen of the world. I am 22 years old and I have just graduated from university. I chose to study foreign languages and cultures because of my love for travelling: since I was a child, my parents took me with them on several travels and I had the chance to see many different countries and people from an early age. This is how my passion for travelling started and now that I've grown up I try to travel as much as I can. I truly think that our planet is such an amazing place, a perfect blend of nature and culture that leave people breathless and make them happy. I love backpacking and getting lost in the places I visit, I enjoy to meet people and try to learn from them, in particular if they are really different from me. I always try and really love to learn, particularly from books and experiences. My love for photography is more recent than my love for travelling. One year ago, I realised that I frame in my mind everything I see. I understood that pictures are a fundemental part of my travelling, a form of art that puts together evidence of reality and poetry. Travelling behind a lens is what I really love.
