   Ciao Lisa! Love your group and your stories. Me, I am a lawyer turned coach and retreat host ; my back story is on my webpage, www. Transformationstuscany.com; and I have several blogs posted there too. Our story was featured on an episode of househunters international last year. I moved to tuscany last year full time, and loving it! I did simple upgrades to my hundreds year old apartment in the historic center of a medieval town. My 21 year old son lives with me , he has been here for five years studying , and now we are together building next life chapters. Thanks for the shout out and putting together a nice community of apassionistas! Ciao for now ! Giuliana(aka JulieAnn)

   Hi Lisa, I’ve been following you for a while, I can’t remember how long! We bought a town house in Molise 4 years ago, doing it up is slow progress as we’re doing it ourselves on a tight budget and we don’t get to spend much time in Italy at present!
   I have a website, partially dedicated to doing up our house and partially dedicated to my love of solo travel and seeing the world!
   Love your website and Fb page!

     Ciao Jenny, oh yes doing the house up is a slow process, we’re in a similar situation, tight budget and doing bits when we have the moolah. Hope you can get to Italy soon. Solo travel is a great niche!! We have a few friends that are living in vans and come and go, what freedom! thanks for saying ciao xx lisa

   Hey Lisa
   Well, I have been reading your blog and Facebook page – I have communicated on Facebook, but never here on your blog, and not sure why. Rectifying that now.

   Where did we meet – you were my Landmark Education Coach! and I am still grateful for that.

   I have just rebuilt my blog and have been slack – overcome by ‘stuff’ and things that had to be done (like completing my Diploma of Financial Services – and it is now done) I am working my way back to having my ‘life’ haha. I must get back to blogging as I do enjoy it very much – it is great to share what is important to you with others, who then let you know it is important to them.

   Renovating – oh yes. We are fixing the old ‘run-down’ farm house we now live in and it will be a magnificent homestead in its own right in the near future. I love sitting for hours with my wonderful man and talking about – “What if we did this here” or “what do you think of this picture, do you think we could do something like that?”…….and they go on and on.

   I have really enjoyed your blog, as to be honest, Italy was never on my list, but with seeing the images,especially of the old buildings, this may need to change.

   Keep sharing, and I promise to be more vocal in future. Take care and love.
   Debbie

   Dear, dear Lisa. So glad this thread is still going! Been a rough month with a very sick kitty, but she’s recovered now just in time for her 3rd birthday yesterday! You know, tesora, that I adore your blog, your photos, everything you do. Am coming back into the fold with my blog and entering more and more photo contests, so I won’t be under the radar anymore. Can’t wait to meet up with you here one day (as I did with Janine, whom you would adore!!). xoxo, Neen.

     Nina there is no way you could ever fly under the radar, you are such a wonderful giving soul! I can’t wait to get together with you all, it will be the pinnacle of our struggle to get back to Italia. I’m so happy to hear that you’re able to get back to the blog, it does take some big amount of time doesn’t it. Hoping for some good news on Monday as they extended the finance times….trying not to be too hopeful in case but just want to celebrate now xxx

   Elisa here – I’m Italian by birth, though I moved away many years ago! Currently living in Zurich, Switzerland, and just found your blog through “An Italophile”.

   I blog at Globetrotting in Heels, where I share bits about expat life, travel, photography, fashion, and bits about Zurich.
