In today’s fast-paced world, luxury often means extravagant objects or exclusive experiences. However, my recent journey has led me to see luxury in a whole new light. Embracing my new life in Italy has transformed my perspective. I've shifted from a hectic creative director career to experiences that truly enhance my fulfillment.
Modern luxury aligns with the beauty of the present moment, and the excitement of new experiences on my transformative journey.
The Essence of Modern Luxury
Traditionally, luxury was about material wealth and lavishness. After stepping away from my busy career, I discovered that true luxury is deeper than that. It is about creating joy, connection, and a sense of purpose.
Today’s understanding of luxury encourages us to dedicate time to activities that reflect our true selves. Instead of constantly chasing the next shiny object, I’ve found that true luxury consists of meaningful moments and spontaneous adventures. Time has become my new definition of luxury.

The Beauty of Intention
The art of experiencing time centers on intention. It involves immersing myself in experiences instead of rushing through them. This philosophy has been a perfect match for my new life as a business owner in Italy.
In Italy, this cultural mindset is tangible – the importance of taking my own life and scheduling into my own hands and create a lifestyle that celebrates abundance. This experience has allowed me to find joy and inspiration in everyday moments and fully appreciate the present.
I celebrate small victories, moments often bypassed in fast-paced environments. Allowing these moments in my everyday life has become my new benchmark for luxury.
Making It Happen: Creating New
Transitioning to a new chapter of my life brought challenges, but each obstacle opened the door to new experiences. Moving from a structured career to entrepreneurship in a foreign country has been exhilarating.
Every day now feels like an opportunity to explore and learn—whether it’s engaging with the new culture or navigating the Italian real estate market while searching for dream homes. I’ve learned that welcoming new experiences is essential.
Living in Italy has shown me that each experience can add meaning and beauty to life. By being spontaneous and ready to seize opportunities, I've opened myself up to the fantastic wonders surrounding me.
Finding Balance in New Beginnings
Making significant life changes is often described as daunting. However, this new adventure has taught me the strength of resilience. I now able appreciate the balance between work and leisure, which can often be one and the same thing. I carve out moments to enjoy life while also focusing on my business.
I view luxury not just as a destination, but as a continuous practice of gratitude. Choices I make daily—from watching the sun set on the roof terrace to exploring concepts for my business—reaffirm my commitment merge into this new culture.
Embracing the understanding that life isn’t solely about running toward goals but cherishing the moments we create in the process. I have redefined my everyday luxury to symbolize true contentment and satisfaction. I hope to inspire others to discover their versions of luxury by showing by experience that such a change is not impossible.
From Hesitation to Happiness
Reflecting on my journey of redefining luxury through turning "What if's to Right now's", I invite you to consider this concept in your own life. Take time to create happiness now, welcome fresh experiences, and reorder your priorities to align with what genuinely fulfills you.
In a world that often pushes us to do more and achieve faster, embracing happiness over hesitation can reveal a richer and more meaningful life. Giving ourselves the luxury of time enables us to build a life filled with authenticity, excitement and connection. By taking the time to reflect and engage with the beauty surrounding us, we can all cultivate a sense of modern luxury that resonates deeply within our hearts.
So, will you join me in redefining what it means to live luxuriously?
