About Me
- Name: Tracie P.
- Location: Austin, Texas, United States
Does leaving your former life to live in paradise really need much explanation? I had a dream to live in Italy. After four years of teaching and almost as many summers traveling, I knew that something had to be done. I needed to cook every day with that fresh, locally-grown produce. I needed to connect with people who made their own wine and bought their whole chickens with the feet still on. I wanted to live in a culture whose inherent passion for gastronomy was not born of pretense, but of the knowledge that what is so fundamental to life should also be ENJOYED. This, for me, is the definition of "la dolce vita Italiana." While it may not always be sweet, it is always Italian.

Hi Tracie, I just had to laugh when I read this in one the previous posts...there just aren't enough blogs written by American women living in Italy. Just before I read it, I was telling my husband that there are tons of american females married to italian guys in this country. Well maybe tons was stretching it a bit but yowser! There ARE many of us!
Welcome aboard to the blogging bandwagon!
