#33TALKS WITH GIANLUCA GOTTO
Can you talk a little bit about the business you started, #MangiaViviViaggia? Mangia Vivi Viaggia is a blog that deals with travel, alternative lifestyles and personal growth. Each content is produced with positivity and love. Our goal is to spread an idea of alternative happiness, far from what is continually proposed to us in this society marked by consumerism and materialism. For us true happiness is achieved through those experiences that give you unforgettable memories and make you feel alive, like traveling. We launched Mangia Vivi Viaggia in 2016, when we both worked remotely as digital nomads. Thanks to Claudia's excellent work on social networks, we have grown much more than we imagined and today the blog is our main project, what we dedicate more time and energy to. Especially since the book “Le coordinate della felicità’’ / ‘’The coordinates of happiness" which tells our story and has become one of the most read self-published books in Italy. Can you talk a little bit about your longest trip away from home? How did your family feel about it? Thanks to the lifestyle I "invented", today I consider the whole world as my home. I don't have a base to return to, but there are several places where I have my interests and where I spend several months of the year. Bali, for example, but also the less exotic (yet beautiful for me) Timisoara. I have a nomadic life and I hardly ever spend more than three months in the same place. Today my family members understand that this lifestyle makes me happy and they are happy to know me smiling, even if I'm far away. In any case, being a digital nomad allows me to drop everything and go back to Italy whenever I want, another big advantage.
