The coordinates of happiness. A story about dreams, journeys and life

“I dreamed of a life in which I could travel around Asia for months, then wake up one morning in Bali and decide on the spur of the moment to go back to Europe. Spend a couple of days in Bangkok eating pad thai and then say goodbye to that part of the world. Go visit my grandmother in Turin, then climb aboard my house on wheels and set off again. Head out on a road trip with my soul mate and spend the first night gazing up at the stars and plotting our next destination. Or just travel, without a destination in mind, following nothing but the coordinates of happiness. I dreamed of setting up my office in a room in a guesthouse or in an airport terminal, and of making the whole world my home. I dreamed of being able to work remotely from anywhere on the planet and making a living doing what I love most. I dreamed of a life that was, above all, free. And to tell you the truth, somewhere between my heart and my head, I believed I really could do it, from the very first day. Maybe that’s what made the difference: believing in it. Always believing in it.” Before becoming a bestselling author, Gianluca Gotto was a popular blogger and a digital nomad. The Coordinates of Happiness is his story, but it’s also the manifesto of an entire generation of free spirits, dreamers and travelers intent on making their lives into a journey that’s amazing, meaningful and uniquely their own.
