1. tr. Hacer desaparecer por cualquier medio lo representado con tiza, tinta, lápiz, etc. 3. tr. Desvanecer, quitar, hacer que desaparezca algo. 4. tr. olvidar (‖ dejar de retener en la mente) (cit RAE) El domingo pasado fui a una visita guiada al museo Thyssen, para ver Maestras – una exposición de más de 100 obras de artistas sistemáticamente borradas de la historia del arte. El mensaje principal que me trasmitió el comentario de la guía es que el proceso de transformación feminista no […]
corredor, ra 🏃🏻♀️
m. y f. Persona que corre en competiciones deportivas. (cit. RAE) A esta “aventura española” no le podía faltar un poco de deporte, así que ayer me uní a “Retiro Running”: una comunidad de corredores que corre por el Parque El Retiro.

toallita 🧽
De toalla e -ita. 1. f. Pieza de celulosa desechable, humedecida con algún producto y usada en general con fines higiénicos. (cit RAE) Breve historia triste: ayer pasé mi primer sábado por la noche en España buscando toallitas húmedas para limpiar el suelo. No os voy a mentir, fue muy aburrido. Pero sé que es bastante típico cuando te mudas a una nueva ciudad estar sola. Y en esa circunstancias siempre me conforta ir […]

Cento misure, un taglio solo
For this blog post, my non Italian-speaking friends will have to Google translate – sorry! 🙂 Uno degli obiettivi di questo mio sabbatico è di passare più tempo con i miei genitori a fare insieme qualcosa di più produttivo che coltivare carote su Hey Day… ehem! Durante la prossima primavera l’idea è di progettare il […]
The “rest” part in “all the rest”
When planning my sabbatical, I initially thought that during the first few weeks I would allow myself to simply relax, lie on my couch, watch tv, laze around. Then I got scared: what if going from full-time work to full-time rest would give me – I don’t know – stress hormone withdrawal sindrome!? So I […]
La montagna nostra
When I was about 5 year old, Nonno Settimio – my late grandfather from my father side – picked me up and, pointing at the mountain of San Donato – the village I grew up in – , said: “Guarda, vessa è la montagna nostra!” (“Look, that is our mountain!”). To which my cheeky little […]
10 days in my World of Away
One of the podcasts I listened to while getting ready for my sabbatical is “World of Away in 365 Days – A podcast to help design a career break and get out the door”, which you can find on Spotify: I am pretty sure it was from this podcast that I got this interesting tip: […]
Why all the rest?
Hello! After 10+ years in AdTech, I’m taking a career break to spend time with family, volunteer, travel… and all the rest! In the next few months, I’ll make sure I get all the rest I can, but I also planned some cool projects. Read about them on this blog, if you’re curious! Keep in touch, Sara.
