a week back home: becoming a kid again before leaving | Christmas Vlog
Going back home for Christmas feels like making peace with the child I once was.
In this video I’m taking you with me through a full week in Calabria, surrounded by family, childhood memories and the awareness that soon I’ll have to leave again.
This week is full of meaningful moments:
the baptism of my niece, long conversations with my grandfather, board games with my family, pizzas with lifelong friends, memories of childhood breakfasts with my brother, Christmas Eve preparations, getting sick and being forced to slow down, and deep reflections about time, distance and growth.
This is not just a Christmas vlog — it’s a journey back to my roots, to my childhood, and to the space between who I was and who I’m becoming.
I live abroad and I’m building my future far from home, but moments like these remind me where I come from and why I keep going.
If you live far from your family, if Christmas makes you nostalgic, or if you’re trying to build a life somewhere else while holding on to your roots — this video is for you 🤍
