“Sotto il cielo di Atacama” : A Journey of Transformation and Awareness

My book, Under the Sky of Atacama (written in Italian ) was born from my travel experience in the heart of Chile and Bolivia. It was not just an adventure through spectacular landscapes but an inner journey that allowed me to reflect on important themes such as responsible and sustainable tourism, the transformative power of travel, and the beauty of solo travel.

In the book, I recount the endless expanses of the Atacama Desert, the breathtaking heights of the Bolivian plateau, and the encounters with people and cultures that deeply touched me. Each stop on my journey is a reminder to live the world more consciously and respectfully, especially toward nature and local communities.

I discuss responsible and sustainable tourism, one of the three core principles of my narrative. I strongly believe in the importance of traveling without leaving a trace, respecting ecosystems, and supporting local economies. During my journey, I chose eco-sustainable accommodations, activities that highlighted the territory, and encounters that respected local traditions.

The second principle I explore is the transformative power of travel. For me, traveling is never just moving from one place to another: it’s an opportunity to change perspective, grow, overcome personal limits, and return enriched. In the pages of my book, I recount how my contact with the wild nature of South America helped me reflect on myself and find new energy to face life’s challenges.

Finally, I celebrate the beauty of solo travel. It is an experience I recommend to every woman: traveling solo allows you to truly listen to your inner voice, make free and authentic choices, and connect deeply with the places and people you meet. It’s an act of freedom and independence that transforms you.
