A New Beginning! Bring it on!

A 25 year old with an addiction to food, wine and good conversation.. not to mention a long and arduous journey from America to Italy ( well it was british airways) .. Florence, Italy is now my home and I wouldn't have it any other way.. My life is full of randomness , glee, and most of all pasta..whether I like it or not..

About Me

Ggnitaly84: Florence, Tuscany, Italy; From Texas, I do not own shortgun, pickup truck, or support George W. I left for LA when I was 18 for 5 years, taught english in China for a month, and now I've ended up via fate in Florence, italy .So I suppose you can assume Im a bit of a vagabond or a gypsy..or as I like to think..just curious :).. My passions include sarcasm, laughter, good friends and new wine.. and giddy feelings of excitement :P
