Hey there! I'm travelling by myself to Italy next month (Naples, Rome, and Florence), and was hoping for some tips (what not to miss, what to do around Tuscany etc) from you...

Thanks in advance!

Suz! question for you- did you ever make it down to the Amalfi Coast when living in Italy? If so, any recs on places to visit (during a one week trip) or towns to stay in along the coast. The general plan is to rent a condo / villa along the coast (if it isn't too pricey). Any advice?

anyway, hope you're well. I don't really know you / you don't really know me, but we have corresponded in the past, so I kinda feel I maybe know you more than a stranger, possibly... if that makes any sense.

Take care, Stu

Totally agree with your "before I die I'd like to" answer.

Although, swimming with sharks or dolphins is pretty much one in the same, as tmagner astutely pointed out to me once: "dolphins are just gay sharks"..

That's the Ishiguro book, right? I read it on the night train to Bangkok last month and it devastated me.

Glad to see you on here and can't wait to hang out again soon.

I’ve often said that in Italy everything is a Big deal, and at the same time, nothing matters.

Roma won today. Big. Not just any one of the hundreds of soccer games played in Italy year-round, but they won Big. From my apartment in Testaccio, the old zone in the southwest of the city, the Roma...

Bloody Boars and Fava Beans

By Suz | Location: Italy | 05/06/07 | Pics: 1

The first weekend I moved to Rome I moved in with my Calabrese cousins. The first afternoon in Rome I stood in a puddle of boars' blood with the beasts' nemesis, Mauro, and had my picture taken.

Mauro, il Cacciatore as my cousins refer to him, is just that. He is their neighbor and a hunter, a...
