I’m Going to Tuscany This Fall And This Freaks Me Out

Posted on June 21, 2017June 22, 2017 by katrina

Italy, I’m coming back. No one is more surprised by this than me. Last month, I had my first piece published in Panorama where I talk about Italy as if I’d never see it again because I didn’t expect to see it again. It’s a gorgeous country, worth seeing repeatedly, but we’ve got this overpriced…
