In summer of 2008, I rented an apartment in Orvieto, Italy, one of Umbria's beautiful hill towns. My goal was to determine if I really wanted to move to Italy, and if so, how I could do so. Would I be happy here, happier than in the US? How would I make a living? How hard would it be to legally reside in Italy? Moreover, at 41, and after half a lifetime of disappointing romances, I was determined to find a way to be happy being alone.
Instead, holiday rental car coupons on the 4th of July of that summer, I met Paolo, and a whirlwind holiday rental car coupons romance ensued in my few remaining weeks in Italy. In May of 2009, I moved to be with him in Allerona, a tiny medieval village about 20 minutes from Orvieto. We married in September of that year. In November of 2011, at 45 years of age, I gave birth to our daughter, and my first child.
