The Renaissance Spirit

I am Italian, an educator stepping into the next chapter of life with energy and curiosity. My passions are many: teaching Italian, writing cookbooks, travelling, creating with my hands through crochet, knitting, and sewing, and living sustainably through thrifting and mindful choices.

I have lived a rich life of making, learning, and experiencing. Now, with new adventures ahead (including exploring by caravan) I am eager to share what I have learned and discover what comes next. This is not retirement, it is liberation to finally pursue everything that lights me up.
