About me

I'm Italian.
In 1995 I moved to LA, stayed for 3 and half years, got married. In 1998 I moved to Copenhagen (Denmark) with my husband.
In 1999 we moved to Switzerland, my husband's country of origin. We had two daughters, then moved to New York shortly after the birth of the second one.
Currently we live in the NYC suburbs, and are scheduled to move back to Switzerland at the end of July.

I can speak Italian, Englihs, some Spanish, some German

My birthday is on 3 September, I was born in 1976

My blog 

Diary of an Unlikely Housewife

Musings and ramblings of a less-than-domestic goddess. In New York. The world is my oyster. Or rather, since I don't like oysters, the world is my chocolate cake.

My path 

 Switzerland

 Switzerland
Zurich

I lived in Switzerland from May 1999 to November 2006

What I liked about this destination:

Switzerland is absolutely beautiful. It has the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. Also, as a resident you can enjoy good food, cleanliness in restaurants, shops, trains, etc as well as outside in the streets, excellent health care and the most efficient public transportation network in the world.

What I didn't like about this destination:

Natives are not always the frendliest. Shopping is kind of blah: no innovative fashion. Hard to find a good stylist (read: someone who won't give you 80s haircuts/highlights.)

 Denmark
Copenhagen

I lived in Denmark from July 1998 to January 1999

What I liked about this destination:

Copenhagen is a fairly beautiful city.

What I didn't like about this destination:

It's very flat and windy and the wind picks up drops of water so you end up wet and cold no matter how bundled up you are.

 USA
Los Angeles

I lived in the USA from February 1995 to July 1998

What I liked about this destination:

What's not to like? Sunny and warm, lots of cool places to visit like Mann's Chinese Theater, Universal Studios, Hollywood Hills, Melrose, Santa Monica, Newport... lots to do and lots to see :-)

What I didn't like about this destination:

One word: earthquakes. Oh no, wait: the pizza is pretty awful, too.
