Ciao bella!- Every Italian
Can I say I lived in Italy? I might just say it. I did experience life on a farm in Italy for a month. That should count for something. After that I traveled around to check out the best spots in Italy, or at least the best known tourist ones. This is Italy! Check out my posts for each spot to see if it was worth the hype. Or read about my time on the farm (I hope to have it up soon). I would say after Ireland, Italy is my favorite country I have visited. What is said about the food and the people is really true! It has such a warm culture that makes you fall absolutely in love with the country and never want to leave!
