Its just the beginning...

In June of 2006, I will be moving to Italy for at least a year, and maybe more. I was first interested in studying abroad after a trip I took, in 2005, to Greece. I fell in love with the beauty and mystery of Europe immediately, and decided to look into spending more time overseas. So, here I am after almost a year of pushing and pulling to get things in order so that I could live in Italy and I am thrilled. There is a lot that goes into moving to a new country, and, I'm sure, there will be a lot that goes into living somewhere as a foreigner. The poem on this blog is called Ithaka, written by C.P. Cavafy, and was given to me by a good friend in Greece. It inspires me to live my life and not just to speculate about what it could be. Ciao!
