I live in northwestern Italy and where I established my home 15 years ago. I often travel back to the US to visit my extended family. I am married to an Italian. Our two children are bilingual, as are our dogs and cats.

My interests include: animals, gardening, cooking, sewing, and ecology. I am an avid reader, too!
