What do you write about in your blog?
After repeated immersions into the sights and sights of Italian life, I have come to see wisdom in the accepted attitudes and values of this old culture. Though life in America is a sharp contrast to Italy, we are learning to savor life the rest of the year and to remain Italian in spirit back home.
Why Did You Start Your Blog?
Discovery of another culture can become a passion. Starting in our empty nest years, my husband Al and I have traveled to Italy every spring for more than a decade. Our love for this special country and culture, for its villages and cities, mountains and seacoasts, for its food and people and lifestyle, along with our enjoyment of our time there together, just the two of us, resulted in my writing the book PASSEGGIATA: STROLLING THROUGH ITALY.
After many years of repeat visits, we have learned to bring lessons in living Italian style home with us. Each spring we renew our Italy experience for a couple of weeks, but the rest of the year we have to work at ways to keep in touch with what we enjoyed. My blog shares our experiences with others who want to be Italian in Spirit.
Advice
- Don't be afraid to try small towns off the beaten track and don't worry if you don't speak Italian. Local people will always find a way to communicate the information that you need to know. Being in a town without big tourist attractions will help you to see how everyday life in Italy can be both simple and rich.
