The Southern Bella - American Life Italian Style
(Belluno)
90 Visits
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live and work in a foreign country, knowing few people, not speaking the language, and to be completely outside your realm of comfort for an unforeseen amount of time—but were too scared to try it out?
Look no further! You can see and experience what life is like in and around Belluno, Italy (about an hour north of Venice, in the Italian Alps) from the perspective of a grass-roots Southern American girl who fell madly in love with an Alpine Italian boy, and who just can’t seem to shake that burning curiosity of how other people have lived, and currently live, in a country that is abundantly rich in stories, history, the arts, and so so so much Love.
