And finally, leave us with one interesting fact about yourself?
I am currently learning to speak Italian. This is a rewarding endeavour that opens up a world of cultural richness. As you learn the language, you uncover the nuances of Italy’s vibrant history, exquisite cuisine, and artistic heritage. Fortunately, I’ve mastered the art of ordering a drink at a bar, which is enough for me to fully enjoy traveling through Italy!
