Former Chievo forward Federico Cossato, who played for the Verona club in the early 2000s, decided to completely change his life. Selling his house, the Italian set off to travel the world.
Federico Cossato“After many years of living in a world I would define as fake, where all attention is focused on appearance, rules, and expectations, I felt the need to change. I no longer want to live by preset templates. This desire has been within me for a long time, but only now have I found the courage to make it happen. My choice was not well received by friends and relatives. This journey teaches me one thing: true happiness does not depend on material wealth.
We live in a society where everyone always wants more — more money, more things, more fame. But I believe all this is pointless. During my travels, I met people who live in homes on wheels, who don’t have much money, but manage to rediscover the true value of life.
When you immerse yourself in nature, where you can hear the songs of birds and the sound of the wind, you rediscover life, unlike social networks where everything is an illusion. I would like to tell people to stop, look around with the same curiosity that children do. True wealth is in simplicity, in the ability to appreciate the little things,” Cossato said in an interview with the publication L’Arena.
