About

Hi! I have lived in Livorno since Sep. 2013, though rarely am able to leave the house due to my stay-at-home job and lack of transportation. I love tending to my little herb garden, riding my bike by the sea, and cuddling with our little dwarf lionhead rabbit. I love Livorno - the weather is perfect for me (especially coming from the cloudy Pacific Northwest), I just wish I had more people to talk to around here! Send me a line if you're in this city. :)
Interests: photography, energy healing, gaming, , taijiquan

Occupation

I am Employed.

My expat journey

usaitaly
Tuscany, Italy

Since Sept 2013

Tuscany, Italy

I live here with my husband, trying to self-learn Italian since we can never seem to converse in it consistently. Hoping to find my little niche, but it's been almost a year now and I still haven't made any friends of my own.

The weather is always perfect - summer for 4-6 months and lots of blue skies (a dream come true for someone who used to live in Oregon!). We also have the sea, which is wonderful to watch the sun set on.
It's a bit hard to find out what's going on in this relatively small town, from what I've seen. Also expats seem to be hiding! :)
