As introduced in my previous Wanderlust Ice & Ink articles, I work as a professional pair figure skater and aerialist on ice, currently performing aboard cruise ships sailing throughout the Caribbean from the United States. While life at sea often takes center stage, the period before returning to a contract remains largely unseen. What many perceive as a holiday or a simple break between assignme...

Beyond its reputation as the fashion capital of Italy, Milan is also one of the country’s richest cultural destinations. Walking through the city reveals a fascinating mix of artistic districts, historic churches, legendary theaters, and remarkable museums. From Renaissance masterpieces to iconic opera houses, Milan’s cultural identity is deeply rooted in its history. During my time in the city, I...

Milan is recognized as one of the world’s leading fashion capitals, shaping global style through its designers, craftsmanship, and industry influence. Yet beyond the runways, the city’s approach to fashion is deeply connected to a broader cultural language, one that has been shaped as much by performance as by design. At the heart of this influence stands Teatro alla Scala. For centuries, the oper...

Milan is often associated with fashion and design, yet its culinary scene reflects just as clearly the identity of the city. From traditional trattorias to modern cafés, dining in Milan reveals a culture based on simplicity, quality ingredients, and a strong sense of place. During my time in the city, several addresses stood out not only for their food, but for the atmosphere and lifestyle they re...

Before becoming one of the world’s fashion capitals, Milan was already a city shaped by empires, artists, and powerful dynasties. From the Roman city of Mediolanum to the Renaissance courts of the Sforza, its streets reveal layers of history that still influence its architecture today. While attending the Milan–Cortina Olympic Games and watching the figure skating events in the arena, I also had t...

Stepping into the Milano Ice Skating Arena for the women’s free skate felt like arriving at the final chapter of a story that had been quietly building all week. The short program had drawn the first hierarchy, with Japan’s Ami Nakai leading and Kaori Sakamoto close behind, while Alysa Liu sat in third place within striking distance. But the final night promised something larger. In Olympic figure...

Stepping into the arena for the women’s short program felt different from the men’s night. It was the final discipline of the Olympic figure skating schedule, and the audience was still carrying the plot twists and emotional aftershocks of the previous day. After dramatic shifts in the men’s event, debate in ice dance, and a comeback victory in pairs, Milano Cortina 2026 had already proven that no...

Stepping into the arena for the men’s free skate felt like crossing a threshold into the decisive heartbeat of the Olympic Games and into the moment where Olympic figure skating defines its legacy. With the final flight bringing together Ilia Malinin, Yuma Kagiyama, Adam Siao Him Fa, Daniel Grassl, Mikhail Shaidorov, and Junhwan Cha, the six leaders after the short program, the competition reveale...

Between the industrial heritage of Turin, twenty years after the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, and the architectural elegance of Milan, Italy is now living to the rhythm of the Milan–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. In the piazzas, avenues, and arenas, sport intertwines with culture, design, and the spectacle of the city itself. More than a sporting event, these Games feel like a collective experience i...

I am a professional pair figure skater and an aerialist on ice. These two disciplines shape not only my work, but the rhythm of my daily life, whether I am performing or between contracts. It means sustaining a constant relationship with training, preparation, and physical awareness. When the lights go out, the work does not disappear, it simply shifts form. Ice and air meet in my practice through...

I am a professional pair figure skater and an aerialist on ice, performing in international ice shows around the world. My career has been shaped by two disciplines that now coexist at the core of my artistic identity, pair skating, rooted in the ice I grew up on, and aerial work, developed through years of training in circus arts and refined on ice. This édito explores how these two paths gradual...

What are the chances that a French girl from a humble background, growing up in a small industrial port town, who began skating to heal a breathing condition, would one day become a lifestyle journalist, a professional pair skater, and an aerialist performing across nearly thirty countries and on cruise ships she once watched being built in her hometown? My life often fits into three essentials: a...
