Our story of travelling & living in Italy
We assume you are here because you love Italy. Or maybe you’re looking for more information about Italy before planning your trip. You’re in the right spot!
We’ve been to Italy many times over the last 20 years. We’ve even lived there at different points in our lives and we now live here permanently after moving from our home in Canada.
Are we Italian? Nope, but Alex’s family is. We have been fortunate to visit them many times and have developed a unique insight into the Italian culture. The whole point of this blog is to tell you about Italy but from an outsider’s perspective. While we’re not Roman, we live amongst them.
