I am officially back in the Netherlands from a much deserved and appreciated holiday to Italy. In the past two weeks, Bram and I managed to find ourselves in what could arguably be among the most beautiful places in the world-Cinque Terre, Florence, Tuscan Country Side, Siena, and Lago di Como. Not to forget to mention, we also stumbled upon a lot of scenic and cultural surprises along the way.

Perhaps the highlight of the trip was being blessed enough to have experienced one of the best kept secrets in Italy.  Part of its charm is that its off the beaten path and provides a wealth of history, culinary delights, incredible nature, and last but not least, a wonderful community enthusiastically offering genuine friendships. And all of this was not lost in translation… 

For the next couple of posts I will be writing about our trip, and of course, more about my struggles with acclimating back to a Dutched reality.
