Ciao tutti from the Amalfi Coast of Italy!

Ciao Steemers!

As per newbie tradition, I'm here to introduce myself to the community and hopefully make some new online friends and followers. Starting off, I'll say that I'm a Florida beach girl now living in Italy. My background is in art, I love to travel and go on adventures. Almost 5 years ago I relocated here with my dog and cat to start a new life adventure. These are some of the subjects that I usually write about.

My life is anything but typical and I've always got my hands into some sort of project. For my dayjob, I teach English to Italians. For my creative side, I make jewelry, write, and enjoy any sort of arts & crafts projects. I'm currently working on my first illustrated children's book I'd like to publish by the end of the year. For my travel/adventure side, I have a small tour operation where I organize private tours for English speakers traveling in Italy (mostly to Rome and in Campania).

I've very active on social media and, although not consistent, I enjoy posting on one of my various websites. For most social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) and my primary website I can be found under this same username - studiodimare.

For the travel biz you can find me under InspirationTrips on my website and Facebook and then InspireArtTrip on Twitter.

The children's book is to be a series based on my dog, Lulu, as the central character. Her social media channels (Facebook & Twitter) can be found at FunwithLulu. The books will be bilingual, starting with English-Italian. With success I'll produce them in several other languages as well.

Our last big project was participating in a reality t.v. show that aired on HGTV in May 2017. Next week (on July 28th) they will be showing our episode again if you are in the USA and want to watch us on House Hunters International.

That's the short story version of me. Show some love and say hello, follow, and upvote. I'm looking forward to posting more soon.

A dopo!
