Welcome, brave traveller.

You've landed in a curious little corner of the internet — a place where unconventional stories, uncomfortable truths, and provocative ideas come to life. But don’t worry, we’ll tell these tales in a way that’s funny, playful, and often ironic, while still being deep, layered, and thought-provoking.

This space isn’t about perfection; it’s about exploration. We’ll take you on a journey through the untold, the uneasy, and the unexpected, challenging norms, sparking reflection, and playing a game of philosophical ping-pong with the universe. Ready for the ride?

So, who’s behind all this?

I’m Nicolò Mantini — but most just call me Nico.

I’m a traveller and explorer of the world, both inside and out. Guided by curiosity and a deep yearning for discovery, I left behind a conventional life — one shaped by years in engineering and business across Europe — to follow a more open-ended path.

Over the past several years, I’ve wandered through Latin America and Asia, immersing myself in the wisdom of ancient cultures — from the indigenous communities of the Amazon rainforest to the serene stillness of the Temples of the East.

Through these experiences, I’ve gathered stories and questions, moments of awe, and quiet revelation. I write to share them — to trace the mystery hidden in remote places, ancestral traditions, and the depths of the human spirit.

Whether you're here for a spark of inspiration or just a moment of resonance, you're welcome to stay as long as you like.

— Nico
