About Me

I'm a simple girl who loves simple things. My life changed last year when I had a horrible accident, but luckily I lived through it and it made me stronger. That experience has helped me to realize what is truly important in life and what my goals should be. I spent too much time on a love story that would never work out, and thankfully the accident helped me realize who my real friends are and who was really in love with me. I'm now happily taken by Samuele, with whom I hope to spend the rest of my life. I try not to deprive myself of anything, although I don't like having superfluous things. I mean that I try to experience life as much as possible and the best way to do this is by traveling. I've been living in Sicily now for almost 6 years teaching English and I love it here. Catania is definitely a hot spot for fun in the sun. I love to go to the beach in the summer and eat good food. Sometimes I go back to Virginia Beach to see family and friends.
