About Me

Welcome to my blog!

I'm Silvio, a 26-year-old Automotive Engineer working as System Integration Engineer at Volvo Cars. Italian of origin, I've had the incredible opportunity to work and study in different countries such as Canada, Italy, Sweden, and now China. I'm currently based in the charming city of Chengdu, famously known as the home of pandas.

I started this blog to share my passions, daily adventures, and professional journey, and to connect with others who share my interests or are curious about my experiences. My content highlights the beauty of diverse working cultures around the world and explores the unique aspects of working abroad as an European Citizen.

Who I Am:

Empathy and open-mindedness to challenging experiences shape my approach to both life and work. I always strive for excellence through a disciplined work ethic and perseverance. I highly value working collaboratively with a team, as listening to and incorporating my teammates' insights helps refine my understanding and enhance the quality of our projects.

What I Do:

At Volvo Cars, I delve into the captivating world of software development and integration. Traditional car manufacturers are now shifting from hardware-centric to software-centric designs, and being part of this revolution is incredibly rewarding. I'm enthralled by the complexity and beauty of designing and developing road cars, from concept to industrialization. My role in manufacturing engineering also offers the exciting opportunity to travel around the world.

Why I Blog:

I started this blog to share my journey with a wider audience. Here, you will find content related to my daily life, professional experiences abroad, and personal reflections. Travelling has been so far a significant part of my life, thanks to the position I have within a global Company as Volvo Cars. This helped me better understand different cultures, lifestyles, and languages. These experiences enrich my perspective, especially for new international business settings, which I aspire to navigate in the future.

My Vision:

I want this blog to be a space where readers can connect with stories, learn from experiences, and find inspiration. Whether you're a fellow Engineer, an expat, or someone looking for a peek into the life of a simple guy living abroad, I hope you find something here that resonates with you.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Ciao,

Silvio
