No, really.

La Bella Vita
By Roz:"La Bella Vita" is a written and visual journey about all the things that I consider beautiful in my life and that I love to share and converse about with other like-minded and like-hearted souls. Too often we are in such a hurry "doing" things in life, that we fail to stop and actually "see" and "experience" the awesome beauty of God around us, where we can see Him and listen to Him in quiet contemplation. Sometimes this beauty can be grand and magnificent, while at other times, beauty is something of pure simplicity. This space is a place for me to retreat my mind, heart, and soul in order to reflect on God's goodness in the things He has blessed me with and has given me a passion for in my life.
Olio di Oliva e Sogni di Vino
By Katie:Katie fell in love with Italy from her first visit in 2002. She now calls it home, writing and capturing the culture of the enchanting city of Florence. Whether its checking out the hottest wine bar, sipping espresso at the local bar or riding her bike through the streets of Florence, Katie is always exploring the ancient cobblestones of Florence, one step at a time.
Bell'Avventura
By Rosa: I'm an Aussie Italian mum who left Melbourne over twenty years ago to balance life between Luxembourg where my responsibilities lie and picture postcard Positano where my sparks fly. I love to live life as a local when I travel and go beyond what I see to find the hidden treasures far from the beaten track. Please email me if you are interested in feature articles.
I Eat My Pigeon
By Liv: I’m Liv. This is the blog of another broad abroad. First, I wrote about my daily humiliations as a gaijin in Osaka, Japan. Then I wrote about re-acclimating to life in New York City. Next, I started writing about my daily humiliations in Ireland, which I’ve experienced while getting my Master’s in Creative Writing at Trinity College Dublin. With the Master’s course nearly done, it’s time to move on again. Come August, I’m headed to Italy’s west coast to make a go of life as a freelance travel writer and finish my novel. Four countries in three years? I must be crazy. Come join the serial expat fun.

Edith's Head

Now I'm over it and on that cliche quest of mid-life self-discovery and being-all-I-can-be before I drop dead. I'm from Washington State but I've lived all over... now in Italy. I spend my days looking for good humor in the mundane. I have no problem laughing at myself.

The Pines of Rome
By Tiffany: Seven years ago, I packed up my life in the states, and moved to Rome, for no other reason than that it felt like where I was supposed to be. I haven't looked back yet.

Everyday I am astounded anew by this glorious town, unless of course I am too busy complaining about the bureaucracy that day.
