Hi everybody, I'm not new at all, been here for nearly five years now, but it dawned upon me only today that I could find fellow expats by searching on an online community! I'd love to connect with people living in the Verona area, or anywhere nearby (Vicenza/Padova/Venezia/Bologna, etc.). I miss speaking English! While I love living in Italy, I am having problems with the small town mentality of people in many places in the Veneto, whereby you are accepted mostly if you belong to a pack of sorts. I've never been a pack animal, and I'd just like to connect with people who don't have that particular filter about them! Looking forward to hearing from you :-)
