Putting yourself constantly to the test, seeking out new interests around the world without ever forgetting your home country. Valentina Cantori, born in Milan in 1989, began travelling when she was 18 and since then has never stopped, adding constantly to her personal story and career. A lifelong journey that has taken her to Claremont, a Los Angeles university town, where she is working as Italian language assistant at Scripps College. “I give Italian conversation courses at the university. I love teaching, because I find it’s a dynamic job”.
Valentina told her story to “Cartoline dall’altra Italia”, the web series produced by the 9colonne media agency with support from the Directorate General for Italians Abroad and Migratory Policies at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
Each week, “Cartoline dall’altra Italia” continues its quest to discover the world of the new emigration: creating links with young Italians who – out of necessity or aspiration – have decided to experience life abroad. With their testimonies, the web series keeps that unbreakable thread linking them to Italy alive. The video-interviews can be viewed on the 9colonne.it website or on the Nove Colonne YouTube channel.
