Welcome to La possibilit\u00e0 di un\u2019isola<\/strong>! I am honoured to have you on this journey.<\/p>\n

What is exactly La possibilit\u00e0 di un\u2019isola?<\/p>\n

Good question. The name of this website comes from the title of a novel by Michel Houellebecq which translate in English as The Possibility of an Island<\/i><\/span>. I read the book long ago, and only later the title resonated with my life.<\/p>\n

I experienced possibility and wonder<\/strong> when I decided to leave a mainstream career of HR consultant in Italy to go live in a very special island, the Archipelago of Los Roques in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

This unexpected turn in life unleashed a series of events that radically changed my view of the world, a shift that compelled me to keep a journal. lapossibilitadiunisola.com<\/strong> has been online for 9 years now, and followed my trajectory around different countries, particularly Venezuela, Cura\u00e7<\/em><\/span>ao, Panama, USA and many other small nations.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s your first time here, this trajectory can be confusing and overwhelming so in this page I am trying to give you a road map<\/strong>. Here is how you get started:<\/p>\n

#1: WHO IS BEHIND THIS?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are wondering who is on the other side of this screen make sure you visit the ABOUT PAGE<\/strong><\/a>, to get some scant hints on my biography<\/strong> and few lines on the underlying philosophy<\/strong> of the website.<\/p>\n

If you are intrigued by what you find, consider d<\/strong>ropping me a note<\/strong><\/a>, or leave a comment on one of my posts. I love to hear from readers and meet new people!<\/p>\n

If you are even more intrigued and think you have a proposal I can\u2019t refuse check out my professional services<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

#2: STAY UP TO DATE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you like the vibe around here and want to know what comes next?\u00a0 Subscribe to the newsletter! <\/strong><\/a>When I write I value long form writing<\/strong> over frequent and shallow content. If you hear from me twice a month it means that I am having a productivity spree, but the chances of that are very slim.<\/p>\n
