Who are we, and why the heck?

Ivano, Aliens, and the Art of Ditching 'Normal' – Our Not-So-Ordinary Journey Begins!

Greetings, Earthlings and esteemed extraterrestrial observers! Allow us to introduce Simona and Alex – a dynamic duo who decided that 'ordinary' was far too mundane for their tastes. Their saga begins not in a distant galaxy, but rather on a picturesque beach near Rome, birthplace of an idea as spontaneous as it was brilliant.

Simona, driven not by the desire to escape but by the urge to explore, chose to exchange her predictable daily life for the adventure of the open road. For her, life's true essence lies in embracing new experiences. Dreaming of a year filled with exploration, she transformed this vision into a radiant reality. In her philosophy, joy shared is joy doubled, and thus she wished for Alex to join her on this grand escapade.

It was on that sandy shore, under the influence of sea air and a Campari Spritz, that Simona proposed an exhilarating idea: "Let's buy a motorhome and explore the world!” Thus, Ivano, their trusty Laika motorhome (aptly named with a pun in mind), became a central part of their journey.

Alex, initially planning to balance his role as a Senior Account Manager from Ivano's cosy interior, was presented with a different idea by the visionary Simona. “Why not devote your time to writing your dystopian novel?” she suggested. After a lengthy deliberation weighing adventure and creative inspiration against the security of a steady paycheck, Simona’s persuasive argument triumphed.

Fast-forward a few months, and the pair are seen traversing rivers, scaling mountains at a leisurely pace, and weathering storms in their rolling haven. But this story takes an unconventional turn – this isn't your typical bi-lingual travel blog. Their sights are set interstellar-high, addressing an audience of aliens on distant exoplanets. Inspired by the words of legendary physicists, either Richard Feynman or Albert Einstein, who claimed that true understanding comes when you can explain something to your grandmother, they chose aliens as their audience. After all, grandmothers can be quite discerning!

During their travels, Simona and Alex have been curating a Spotify playlist named "From Kitsch to Niche," a collection of songs encapsulating the essence of their journey. Each song on the playlist resonates with a specific moment, location, or emotion experienced along the way.

So, to all who are listening, whether on Earth or light-years away, buckle up (or activate your respective safety devices) and join Simona and Alex on their extraordinary adventure. It promises to be anything but ordinary.
