Microstories and Qi

A European writer with a touch of East Asia

Welcome to my Substack!

I am honored you are taking the time to read my words.

I define myself as a European writer, because my writing is inspired and nourished not only by my culture but also by the European countries where I have lived and worked for a while. Thanks to the freedom of movement within Europe, from creative Italy, my country of birth, I moved to inspiring Paris, chaotic Brussels, sunny Barcelona and since a few years in green Berlin. Well, there is more to those places than these few attributions, but it gives you an idea of the diversity of my inspiration.

Of course, no definition can ever be 100% accurate and if you are not that much into Europe, I have another card up my sleeve. You can take a wild guess by looking at the cover or title of my first novel or simply read the description of my Substack profile :D.

Yep, I am one of those people who have been fascinated by China. In the last few years, I have taken a deeper interest in Japan and Korea, learning a little of both languages and travelled there this past summer. I wrote a few notes about this wonderful journey.

This Substack is mainly about Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong as well as microstories, but I might occasionally write about other topics too. This space will become my writing retreat, where I can take a few moments from my hectic life and activate my creative Qi!

PS: I am still figuring out how this platform works. I created a section for microstories and at the moment, if you subscribe you automatically get the microstories as well. But I might have to change the setting in the future, if so, I will let you know.
