The day I met my Italian we spoke about travel, among other things. Travel is a passion we share, and something I often blog about. In casual confidence he told me he would like to take me to Corsica and Greece. Corsica we have been twice already. Today we are flying to Greece, specifically the islands of the Cyclades. This completes our ‘Summer at Sea’, though we are heading to Italy for the wine harvest in September. Considering it’s ‘home’, does that count?
One of the most important character traits I look for in anyone whether friend or companion, is integrity. My Italian is a man of his word. In so many ways. I’m happy that travel plans are included.
I am looking forward to experiencing one of the most magical places on earth. Somehow I left Greece off of my ‘places to visit’ list on my ambitious round-the-world travels. Corsica too. It was not yet time. As I have often learned, and continue to, life reveals itself in the most mysterious ways. It was well worth the wait.

Hello Mom & Angela! Enjoy my island hopping adventures in Greece…and I invite you both to crush grapes in Italy! Much love to you.
Hi Kasia,
I have to say you are much nicer than I am, calling your man “my Italian.” Really, I should call mine, “my French man,” but I don’t; I call him my frog, among other animal names. At any rate, I’m another transplanted American living in France. I’d love to say the small town I live in is as vibrant and fashionable as Paris…
Anyways, hi. I’m Samantha. And I’m an expat.
Hi Samantha, nice to hear from you! Hmmm…let me think of an appropriate animal to compare my Italian to
I will take a look at your blog and read your story…keep in touch!
Can’t wait to read about your trip!
I enjoyed this post, particularly because you talk about integrity. I think it’s such an important quality to look for in a relationship. Glad we both found good partners who certainly are not lacking in that department.
It’s also a very important quality in friendships. And yes, we are both very lucky
