Me, Myself and i.

Hi there!

Welcome to my corner of the internet! Whether we’ve crossed paths before or you’ve stumbled upon this site by chance, I’m thrilled to have you here. I’m Alessia Masciocchi, though friends often call me “Ale” (yes, like the beer!) or “Masciock.”
On Instagram, you might know me as @mashockable, where I share my quirky adventures and raise awareness on various topics.

I hail from the picturesque "Lombardian Lake District" in Italy, right on the Swiss border. This stunning region, brimming with glacial lakes and majestic mountains, has shaped my love for the outdoors. Born on November 8, 1999, I use the 8th of each month to share my latest book reviews—why not give English a try?

My educational journey was a whirlwind: I studied languages in high school and dabbled in university life across four different locations, including Germany. Yet, the monotony and rigid routines weren’t for me.

I thrive as a free spirit, which led me to a part-time gig in a start-up in unified commerce and luxury retail. It wasn’t my passion, but it expanded my vocabulary immensely. Eventually, prioritizing my mental health, I moved on—a tough but necessary decision.

Rather than bore you with a laundry list of hobbies, let me introduce you to my philosophy: the “4S Balance”—a harmonious blend of Sports, Study, Socializing, and Solo time.

Above all, curiosity is my driving force. It empowers me to pursue my dreams and navigate life’s challenges.

Originally, this website was dedicated to all things mountains, but life had other plans. After taking a break from sports, I realized my potential to explore a broader range of topics. This blog is now a testament to that journey. My goal is to show that with the right support, everyone can thrive in their unique field. We don’t need to match the world’s frantic pace—let’s savour the beauty of our surroundings and find our rhythm.

I’ve shared quite a bit about myself, but there’s always more to discover. Dive into my website, and let your curiosity lead the way. Thank you for spending your time here. Let’s stay connected and keep the conversation going—follow me on social media for more updates.

Godspeed!

P.S. I have a fondness for the phrase “Godspeed”—it’s simply perfect.
