Piacere! Nice To Meet You!

Part-time Writer | Full-time Adventurer
Ciao! I'm Megan and this is where I share articles, essays, and tips about my adventures in Italy and beyond. I'm originally from Indiana, but for now I'm based out of Florence. I love art museums, learning languages, strong coffee, red wine, and John Hughes films, although not necessarily in that order.
