Hi, my name is Lucia and I'm 30 years old. I was born and raised in a small town in the countryside of Italy. My parents were farmers and they worked hard to provide for our family. Growing up, we didn't have much but we were happy and content with what we had.
When I turned 18, I decided to move to the city to pursue my dreams. I wanted to become a fashion designer and I knew that Milan was the place to be. So I moved there and started studying at one of the best design schools in the country. It wasn't easy but I worked hard and eventually graduated with honors.
After graduation, I got my first job as an assistant designer at a famous Italian fashion house. I was so excited to be part of the industry that I had always admired. However, after a few years, I felt like something was missing. The fast-paced lifestyle and long hours started taking a toll on me, and I realized that I wanted more than just a successful career.
So I decided to take a break from work and travel the world. I spent a year backpacking through Asia and South America, and it was during that time that I discovered my love for photography. I had always enjoyed taking pictures but never thought of it as a serious hobby until then.
When I returned to Italy, I started working as a freelance photographer, specializing in landscape and travel photography. I've been doing that for the past few years now and I absolutely love it. It allows me to combine my passion for photography with my love for traveling and exploring new places.
I also still keep in touch with my family back home and try to visit them as often as possible. They mean the world to me, and they have always been supportive of my dreams and aspirations.
Overall, I feel like I've had a rich and fulfilling life so far, and I can't wait to see what else is in store for me.
