I have many sides to my personality of which most people only see one! I love to dream and am often in my own little world and then am brought back to reality with a jolt! I live in my own universe occupied by mandolin playing mafiosos, matadors and russian dolls...right now I preparing my tango for Buenos Aires !oye! I am a freelance Tour Director and Italian-English translator but who knows for how much longer! And I am also studying Espanol and Russki - mamma mia! myspace
