Five years ago today I embarked on an adventure that would change the course of my life. Dramatic any? Oh yea. But it is also true. Five years ago today-on April 18, 2006-I bid a tearful goodbye to my mom, dad, sister, nephew and a culmination of 30 years of life as I’d known it.
I’ve spent hundreds of hours over the last few years reading blog posts and articles about Italy-many of which were written by my real-life expat friends and blogging buddies. Some of those posts serve their immediate purpose, offering a good laugh, a useful tip or an encouraging word of expat life-related advice. Other times, they stick with you and years later you can still recall the message.
For many people world travel is a dream but for the group of bloggers who are part of Lonely Planet’s blogspherpa program, that dream is a reality.
With more than 80 bloggers from countries all over the world-including yours truly and a few of my virtual blogging friends-you can learn anything you wanted to know about any place you’d want to go.
