Hire Me to Work for You

I have worked for several years for multinational companies in the technology and internet sector, as well as advertising. I have a degree in MIS, and an MBA which I am constantly using as new challenges present themselves. I’ve worn many hats so far in my life and jobs – project manager, network engineer, systems manager, copywriter, event planner, public relations and marketer, graphic designer and translator.

I welcome offers for freelance writing assignments, photo assignments, translations and other creative endeavors. If you have an opportunity, send me the following information: Type of work needed (photography, writing, web design, etc.), Deliverable (# hours, articles, photos) and proposed Compensation.

For more information about some of my freelance work, check some of my freelance clips on my site, SaraRosso.com.

Content, Commenting, and Copyright

All commentary and content on this site is solely my viewpoint and does not represent that of my employers, past or present.

I reserve the right to refuse or delete comments left on this site for any reason, especially self-promotional, inflammatory or degrading comments directed at me or other commenters.

You are welcome to link to my posts, but my content is not available for re-posting or translation without written permission.


My Photos

All photos on this site were taken by me unless otherwise noted in the post.

My photos are available for sale for personal and commercial use. For a quote, please contact me and tell me which photo you’re interested in and, if for personal or commercial/website use, dimensions needed, where it will be displayed and for how long in your email. I sell my photos on a use-by-use basis, and they are not available for royalty-free use. I can also do photo retouching and editing upon request.

Some of my images are for sale through Getty Images.

My photos may never be used for commercial purposes or on sites which have ads without permission. Even for non-commercial purposes, they may not be copied, distributed or displayed without written permission.

Photos were taken with a point-and-shoot Canon PowerShot S230 through March 2007, and thereafter they are mixed with shots from a Canon Rebel XTi. Check out my Flickr page for more of my photos. Visit my Amazon store for the Food Blogging & Photography section for some information on my camera and accessories.


Reviewing Products and Accepting Samples

I do not post about a product or a place for money (i.e., no pay-for-post). If a post is inspired by a friend to write about a certain place/product or if I receive a free sample, I will state it in my post, usually as a footnote at the bottom of the post. Most of my giveaways have been 100% on my own dime, from purchasing products to shipping.

I welcome review copies, products & samples, but I reserve the right to post or to not post about the place and/or product. I cannot and will not promise a post in exchange for a free sample or product. I reserve the right to state my opinion, whether good or bad, about the place and/or product, online or offline. Companies or PR agencies, you are welcome to contact me – I encourage and applaud transparency as much as possible.

If you’re interested in offering some of your product as a prize to my readers through one of my blog giveaways, please contact me. Most prizes / giveaways will only include a link to the product and will not focus on the product itself in the post’s content.

Note: In case it’s not clear, I physically live in Italy so samples and products will have to be sent to Italy.

If you’re in PR or Marketing, make sure you read Elise’s Dos & Don’ts of Marketing to Bloggers for some good tips about getting me to reply to your email.


Advertise on this Site

Interested in advertising on my site? Send me the following information: company/url/product, size and type of ad, desired placement on site, and duration of ad. I reserve the right to refuse or ignore offers of advertising for any reason.

I do not sell links, text links, or blogroll links or participate in link exchanges. I do not insert paid links “text advertising” into my blog content or in my blogroll. I accept only graphic advertisement proposals, which will be clearly labeled as advertisements if placed on my site.

Creation and supply of graphics for advertisments are entirely the responsability of the company and I reserve the right to refuse or request a change in the proposal for any reason.


Ask Ms. Adventures

If you’re looking for advice or information about moving to, living or working in Italy, send me an email with “Ask Ms. Adventures” as the subject and I’ll answer some of your questions on the blog directly. I may not be able to respond directly to your email. I also suggest you read: How to Live and Work in Italy and the first Ask Ms. Adventures Q&A post.
