I can’t remember when, but since my teens at least, I’ve had a love for Italy and Spain. In my late 20’s it started became more focused on Italy, even my cooking… and now it’s where I want to be, even though I have never been, well at least not in this life time… that’s another story for another time.

My partner and I decided that it would be somewhere we go when we are a bit older and hopefully more financially independent, so that we can enjoy traveling and exploring. So for now, I have many years to learn at least some conversational Italian in preparation.
