    Why Are You Even Telling Us? Announcing my Pregnancy to my In-Laws

    September 10, 2018

    5 Easy Ways to Learn a Language in Your Undies

    September 6, 2018

    I used to think that I was pretty good at learning languages because it seemed easy enough to pick up words here and there on my travels or remember Farsi that my dad taught me. However, it turned into a…

About M.E.

Vroom, Vroom

Some people like to buy boats and others like to talk their way onto one in France around 2 a.m. (that would be ME). I've always loved to travel, to meet new people, to learn about other places (and cause a little mischief). In 2009, I moved to Italy for grad school and fell in love with an Italian man and his majestic chest hair. I also fell a lot, literally, because cobblestones. It's not always easy but it's worth it. This isn't a traditional travel blog. This is a travel story, an honest account of my adventures, the happy moments, the spilled wine, missed flights, cultural misunderstandings and everything in between.
