It’s 2012!!!!!! , a zombie Apocalypse and/or end of the world is not coming anytime soon , well its STILL early and I did just read World War Z …

It’s time to leave the old and embrace the new… and keeping with the spirit, I wanted to have more motivation to change/update my blog. For some time I have felt frustrated with the lack of events, news, and available info in Florence. Often I will see really fun activities or free events that just were not really promoted or available online to see details so I would attempt to bridge that gap.

I have only been in Firenze full time since 2007 but I do try to keep up-to-date with what’s going on in town so I can temporarily escape the sound of my neighbors TV on full blast and his 24/7 coughing…

People often tell me there is not much to do in Florence or complain of the lack of info, but the fact is we live in a country where Italian is the language, not English. I understand it’s not easy to learn another language, it takes time which is why when I see something fun, or a new place, I will try and put it on this blog.

Since I am obviously on a semi-rant about change.. I will leave it with a “unique” idea about climate change..

    1. why thank you! I appreciate the kind words :), considering all of my American friends are normally from Boston or California… its nice to see a fellow Texan loving and living ( or at least appreciating ) Il Bel Paese . I am always around, I work like 5 billion jobs but luckily I somehow always make time to be out and about so yes I hope to see you at one as well.. piacere da Georgette

Welcome to my personal blog by a curious American girl living and working between Zug, Switzerland and Florence, Italy with my husband Nico, our newborn Annabelle and Ginger the beagle. This space is primarily to share about my love for Italy (currently on a 13 year romance) with a fair amount of real talk, practical advice, travel suggestions and adjusting to a new culture (Switzerland).
