I am normal girl, probably on the geeky side. I love art but haven't been inspired in a long time, but I still buy art supplies almost weekly even though I don't open them. Most people can't believe that since I live in Italy. Apparently Italy inspires many artists. I grew up in Spokane, Washington but fled to Seattle and lived there for 5 years. I met my husband while I was backpacking in Europe. I live in Verona and before that I lived in Rome for 2 years. I suck at speaking Italian and as result people think I am shy. My favorite things are drinking aperitivos in Nemi, opening mail, blogging, talking with my hubby and contemplating life. Right now I am working on my Bachelor's degree in social science, with the dream of going to an Italian university in the future.
