About
My expat journey
Languedoc Roussillon, France
Enjoying the Provencal lifestyle.
Wife, new mother, and a little English teaching.
The countryside is gorgeous and reminds me a bit of where I was born and raised. The weather is lovely and full of sunshine.
It's a bit far from major airports of Barcelona and Paris, but luckily with the fast train it takes around 3 hours.
Milan, Italy
Observing the difference between the slow Tuscan lifestyle and the efficiency of Northern Italy.
English language teacher.
It was close to beautiful shopping centers, museums, culturally exciting.
I did not like the mosquitos, the hot weather in August (humid), or the overcast weather that seemed to seep through your positivity.
Florence, Italy
Enjoying the Tuscan lifestyle, the food, the weather, the art, the history, etc.
English language teacher.
I loved the seaside, we lived literally 5 km from the seaside shore... However, it was quite far from major cities, such as Rome, Florence, and Pisa.

California, USA
I was born and raised in the Bay Area of California.
Many different career paths, one that was my personal favorite was a teacher to young children.
A little bit of everything, it was close enough to the snow, but never too far from the Pacific Ocean...
