Laminated desert This is a story that belongs to a nation full of beauty as much as injustices. In the hopes that more people will begin to think that the social difference coexisting within a country can truly be defeated in our hearts.

About chiarapizzi

I am a 21 years-old Italian girl, graduating this year in a BA in Journalism and Visual Media in Dublin, Ireland. I took my passion for travelling from my mother who brought me all around Europe and America on unconventional trips where sometimes we had to cycle from town to town, for example when we went to Holland or Germany.

At the age of 16 I decided that it was the time for me to start travelling by my own and , after winning a scholarship with AFS, I moved to Cape Town, South Africa, for three months. That experience shaped my existance, since I went back to Tuscany I knew that my hometown was to small for me: I did not belong there, I did not belong to any city, I belonged to the world and I needed to travel to know more about my home and the people who lived in it. 

Since I had to finish highschool I figured that I still could manage to travel staying where I was by hosting people from different countries at my home. Therefore, my mother and I first hosted a girl from Turkey for a year who became like a sister to me, then we hosted a German and a Chinese girl who taught me a lot about living and sharing with different cultures.

After I graduted from highschool I moved to Ireland in order to get a BA in Journalism so that I could be one step closer to my dream of becoming a travel journalist and make my life an endless travel. In the meantime I went back to South Africa 3 times, I spent a month in Turkey and I kept travelling all over Europe since I made many international friends. I also recently spent a month in Florence because I made a photojournalistic project and book on the Neo-Fascist movement "CasaPound" in Italy, which I am waiting to release soon.
