I'm an Italian journalist, who left her hometown to travel the world. I want to provide accurate information so I thought I'd better live for some time in the country I want to talk about.
I joined expat.com on 06 November 2009.
Research for more articles and books.
Love the people, mild temperatures all year, easy to walk and laid-back vibe.
I'm studying Chinese and researching for new articles
I loved living in Shanghai. Despite the city being so huge, it was easy to manage and explore. People are helpful and friendly, there are tons of things to do, see and visit.
At the beginning I found it hard to communicate because very few people speak English, but as soon as I started mastering some sentence in Mandarin everything got easier also because locals love when foreigners make the effort to speak their language.
