Was born from two kindred spirits navigating a new life abroad—armed with oat milk, Google Translate, and a lot of heart.
My mom and I left the U.S. to trace our family roots and work toward Italian citizenship. We landed in a little lakeside town called Sarnico, tucked beside Lake Iseo gorgeous, yes, but not exactly bustling. Think more church bells and espresso than Aperol spritz on a rooftop.
Somehow, my mom became one of the only Americans working at a Swiss hotel school (because why not make it international?), and I arrived from Florida, still half-adjusted to European plugs and not-so-subtly mourning my iced coffee. With the help of our delightfully chaotic Romanian friend who treated moving day like a Formula One event we hauled everything across the Swiss border and into our new Italian life.
What we didn’t realize? Sarnico is not Milan. Or Florence. Or even slightly touristy. English? Almost nonexistent. The locals were polite but visibly puzzled by our American volume and general tendency to over-explain things. And ordering a vegan meal? Let’s just say it often involved charades and Google Translate.
Still, there’s something refreshing about being the odd ones out. Everything felt unfamiliar, which made even the smallest victories like successfully mailing a letter or finding oat milk strangely satisfying.
