Hello Hello!!! So last weekend we attended a CAMP with the tour group I have been going on. I had my apprehensions about this 3-day trip given the experiences I'd had on previous poorly planned excursions! I was hoping that if given 3 whole days to fit things in maybe the time issue wouldn't be a problem! What MIGHT be the problem was the accomodation...

The only reason why I was ok with going was because I was actually interested to see the area that my family came from.

It is an amazing opportunity and something that not everyone would get to experience from just the usual trip to Italy! Part of this experience involved us all getting toge...

Ciao from ITALIA!!! I arrived here 5 days ago now into Verona airport where my exchange host Anna picked me up to take me to her village, Spiazzo Rendena. It was so nice finally meeting after months of planning and discussion about all the fun to be had and, according to Anna, all the boys excited to meet me.
