Italia

I have a love for Italy – the language, the people, the food, the history – I think it is one of the most quaint, beautiful and incredibly fascinating countries to visit. I constantly find myself dreaming of travelling back to explore more of what the country has to offer.  So, I thought it apt for me to first share my adventures in Italy from our 2009 trip.

My life goal is to be happy and healthy with my husband, Matt....nothing else particularly matters. I have a very comprehensive ”Bucket list” list for our life (which is expanding at a rapid rate). This blog is a way in which I can document each experience (both past and current), whist sharing the fun, scary, and amazing moments with everyone who cares, and no one in particular. Enjoy!
