I’m Only Happy When it Rains
I love Sundays, and I find a quiet rainy one particularly special, I’m happy when it rains. Today I woke up not late (around noon, you judge) after a nice evening with a Mx friend walking around a very popular zone in the East of Rome and then to a “centro sociale” near the main […]
Gifts from India & México: Santa Claus is there!
Indian & Mexican Santa Claus just came into Italy with gifts. The best way to feel a bit at home! Expat, digital nomad, or whatever its called, I’ve been living in different countries and cities over the last 12 years. One of the best parts is to get gifts from abroad to make you feel […]
