The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me!

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton

Well, I suppose I should get started. The beginning may be a bit of a stutter start, much like my first rental car when I moved to Europe! I had just graduated from Italian language school, and I was bound and determined to use the language at the very beginning. My skill sets were advanced enough to get this 16 euro a day fiat, complete with missing side mirror, front passenger hub cap, and manual windows. Not to mention I had to brush up on driving a manual. So, my start was truly stuttered in more ways than one!

Unbeknownst to me, this start to my time in Europe was the beginning of an adventure. One that I’d like to take you back through if you’re willing!
