I hope everyone travels safe, and before Black Friday, make sure you read my Italy Gift Guide (and comment to win a limited edition Illy caffe’ tin) from yesterday to take advantage of the on and offline specials.
And what about [...]

Scotland, my Nomad Family, and a little Haggis

November 8th, 2007 · 18 Comments

Way back in September I went on a little trip to Scotland and France. I still haven’t posted any pictures from that trip since I’m still posting pictures from my trips in August (and leaving out a lot!)
The purpose of this trip with my mother was about relaxation and spending time together, but it was [...]

I’ve never been to Edinburgh, so any [...]

4th of July Fireworks in Milan, Expat Style

July 5th, 2007 · 19 Comments

Last year I attended a 4th of July barbecue-aperitivo organized by various expat groups. I didn’t partake of the buffet but I was there more for the company than anything. This year the BBQ was on a Sunday and I was out of town, so I was lucky enough to be invited to a small [...]

A Quick Jaunt to Switzerland and Lake Geneva

July 2nd, 2007 · 7 Comments

I’ve fortunately/unfortunately never had to travel for business. After this past trip, I can understand why it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, especially when you can’t even attach a long weekend to it.
I took about 7000 photos taken out the car window, with various blurry hillsides and reflections off the window. That [...]

Valrhona Chocolate Box and Swiss Chocolate

June 27th, 2007 · 12 Comments

Today I’m heading to a country known for its cheese and chocolate (and not France). I’m heading to Switzerland on business. Since chocolate is on my mind (I hope at least to bring back something for the office), I thought I’d add my most recent “taste” of designer chocolate - something I permitted myself to [...]
