So picture this: you’re an Erasmus student in your 30s. It’s your first year in a foreign country, pursuing a masters you basically started out of curiosity and you stumble upon some guys with a cultural project that sweep you off your feet (both the guys and the project, yes).
What do you do?
You pitch this to an editor (they say yes), pitch this to the guys (they also say yes) and end up writing an extensive article in Romanian & English for Scena9, one of the leading cultural publications in Romania. Some time goes by and then, one day, while you’re sunbathing on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, you find out that Internazionale, Italy’s most important weekly is translating and publishing your article in their upcoming edition. Pretty cool, huh? Life is sweet as you bask into the warmth of the sun, enjoying your well deserved 15 minutes of glory.
