Island Effect

In the brief few months I had the pleasure of studying in Torino, Italia, back in 2017, the apartment where I stayed had a few plumbing issues...the very kind Cristina, who had helped me find a place and settle in, also found me a lovely plumber...I could barely muster a few words of Italian and only knew how to say "I'm sorry, I don't understand" "Mi dispiace, non capisco"...this kind and patient plumber taught me this phrase, which means "slowly slowly, we go far"

To this day, I say this to myself whenever the going is tough.

Had a delicious Korean BBQ dinner last night - first for me, my sis and our old friend. Staff were great and gave us good advice on what to eat, otherwise we would have had 3 times too much!! 😁

Not doubling down on all-inclusive resorts that damage our fragile eco-resources and don't truly build a wealthier more independent community
