She quit her job, traveled the world on a sailboat and today lives happily in a cabin in the middle of the forest

Marisa Bianco, 75, has had an extraordinary journey. This courageous and reckless woman left her orderly life to go on adventures and discover the world. Her quest for freedom took her to the seas for 5 years, then to the heart of the forest where she lives today in a wooden cabin.
