As anyone in the blogosphere, I should write a post looking back to 2011 and another one listing the resolutions for 2012.\u00a0Maybe I should say that “end of the year is always a good moment to stop and analyze” or something like that.<\/p>\n

But truth to be told – I spent a fair amount of time already during the year thinking over what I’m doing, where I stand, what I want, how to get it etc. etc.
\nI even read a book called “What Should I do with my Life<\/a>“!<\/p>\n

All the time spent traveling alone, for business or pleasure, was a wonderful opportunity for reflection and I’m really glad I could do it because, to quote Hanry Browne,\u00a0what could be more stimulating than thinking about your own life?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t worry about\u00a0Harry Browne, now. I don’t even link his name. A post dedicated to one of his opera will follow very soon, to make up with the fact that last week I didn’t publish any blog<\/em>\u00a0(and Lindo Boludo didn’t even complain) with the lame excuse that, being the 26th December, I had to overfeed myself with all the leftovers from Christmas, not to offend the poor people starving in countries that have no problem with the spread <\/strong>with the bund<\/strong>, but instead lack of panetun<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0crema di mascarpone<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Never the less, I took some time reading my personal diaries (I jotted down 2 full notebooks this<\/del> last year!) bringing back to memory all the moments I lived.
\nThose are the moments I’m glad I wrote so much this year, because the diaries compensate greatly my funny memory – that for destiny forgets everything but passwords<\/em>…<\/p>\n

Here are the 11 mainly good with few bad experiences that have made ’11 the truly special and intense year that has been for me…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sailing in the Caribbean Sea
    \n<\/a>    \"IMG_0395.jpg\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Hiking 5 days in the jungle to Ciudad Perdida
    \n<\/a>    \"IMG_0716.jpg\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Being in the Amazon
    \n    \"IMG_2227.jpg\"
    \n<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. The month and a half I lived in Cali, the Capital of Salsa
    \n    \"IMG_1825.JPG\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Learning Spanish (working on the accents once I’ll find them on the US keyboard)<\/li>\n
  6. Visiting Ryadh, Saudi Arabia
    \n    \"IMG_4409.JPG\"
    \n<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Visiting Sennelager, where my grandfather was held prisoner during WW2<\/a>
    \n    \"IMG_4186.JPG\"
    \n<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Breaking an already damaged knee ligament<\/a>\u00a0(mine)<\/li>\n
  9. Finishing a very important sentimental relation<\/li>\n
  10. Loosing 3 KG in 3 months<\/li>\n
  11. Learning how to cook peperonata <\/em>(don’t miss this blog about it)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n
    For some of the thing in this list, you’ll find a related post just clicking on them (mamma, questo l’ho scritto per te!<\/em>)<\/div>\n
    For some others, I’ll really like to write about in the future – like the visits to incredible Riyadh.<\/div>\n
