I’m not sure why it is, but I seem to come across a lot of people who have moved here with little or no awareness of exactly how to stay here legally.  Some are university students and are under the impression that their university has handled everything.  Others are adventurous souls who just picked up [...]

Not only have Katerina and Bonjour Madame recently awarded me with the Our Lovely Blog award, but thanks to Annika I have have the Honest Scrap award. How lucky am I!  I’ll focus on the Honest Scrap award as it is a little more interactive.

The Honest Scrap award is given by other bloggers [...]

The most common thing I hear these days is, “Maybe you should go back to Buenos Aires instead of Italy.  It sounds like that’s where you really want to be.  I can tell it hurts you not to be there. You miss it.”  Yyyyyeah.  I do.  A lot.  It’s my home and my true love.  [...]
