Reports reports reports… in between my monthly online reports<\/a> and the year reports I’m reading and writing, I have little time for the New Year resolutions – I think I’ll do them in February!
\nIn this post I look back to 2013 in numbers<\/em>, from 1 to 13.
\nIt was an intense year with very high peaks and very low deeps… it seems that with the age the difference between good and bad moments is getting bigger.<\/p>\n<\/span>\n

1 father that I lost<\/h2>\n

The 7th October 2013 my father suddenly passed away. This changed completely the dynamic of my family in Italy and how close I’m with them.\u00a0I’m still trying to get used to not have a father anymore… Here the last picture I had with him, just two weeks before when we were at the Lago Maggiore having lunch with the uncles.<\/p>\n

2 vehicles that I sold<\/h2>\n

I’m now left with my bicycle, and 300 electric Smart cars from the amazing Car2Go<\/a> service.<\/p>\n

In March I sold my last motorbike (for the time being) to my friend Andy, so that it stays in the “family”. It makes no sense to me having ownership of a motorbike that I don’t use since I embraced frugality.
\nI still consider myself a\u00a0motorcyclist, and I do love motorbikes but I just don’t have one, nor I follow the latest news and models like I used to do in my twenties. But give me one and I’ll ride!<\/p>\n

In June I had to sell another vehicle I was really passionate about: the Salsa van engine exploded under very suspicious circumstances (I had a full 1.500\u20ac\u00a0service the month before) and another chapter of life went away with it. I wrote about the end of Salsa (van) here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/span>\n

3 websites that I bought<\/h2>\n

In 2013 I dedicated a considerable amount of time looking for web properties to buy. Most of this work was done on marketplaces such as Flippa<\/a>. I total three acquisitions in twelve months… I was expecting more but there’s so much crap around and I got quite risk-adverse.<\/p>\n

So here they are:<\/p>\n
