Hi challengers!
Welcome to another issue of The Challenge of The Month! I know I’m late. It’s happening more often lately, but I’ve been doing so many things! I look forward to sharing them with you when the time comes.
(This month, I should welcome our four new paid subscribers — scroll at the bottom of this for your premium content, and thank you for the support!)
May 2025 — Life Updates
I have to say this month started as the last one — a little bit slow. But it exploded in the end! You’ll never expect what happened!
My Green Balcony
I told you it was a slow start, really slow. On May 1st, my girlfriend and I decided to revamp our balcony. It was full of dry plants we had forgotten to water a year ago. So, we wanted to have some aromatic plants for cooking, some colorful flowers, and some mint for the mojitos.
Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my two avocados that didn’t make it through the winter. But in their place, I got a Kumquat! I love those fruits, and I can’t wait to eat some next year!


The Study Sessions
Part of the reason I’ve been a little absent is that I had to study a lot this month. I worked late, and after work, I studied for at least one hour every day.
Luckily, I can already tell you the interview was very good! We entered the competition as one of the favorites to take the job. We should have a definitive answer by the end of June.
That’s an achievement for me — I put in all my efforts to make this work.
The Long Weekend to Cannes
On June 2nd, we celebrate Republic Day in Italy. And this weekend, I wanted to organize something nice — so I took my girlfriend on a surprise trip to Cannes in France.
We had a blast there. We ate some incredible food and loved visiting Antibes, Cannes, and Menton. But there’s one thing that happened on this trip that changed my life forever…
