I have traveled to Italy at least once and sometimes twice a year for the last 12 years. I always start in Rome since for the most part it's the most direct route from America.

All of my trips have been for at least 10 days and many for 2 weeks or more. After coming into Rome and spending at least a day or two there I go on to either Florence or Sorrento. I rent an …

There are a lot of young s …

As a survivor of domestic violence I find myself wishing I had more friends who understood what I have been through. Tired of constantly being asked why I stayed, why I didn't leave sooner, what I was thinking, I am starting this group in the hopes that more women with similar experiences will join me in helping others (and ourselves) who may be in similar situations (or have been in the past), and to raise awareness in the community. More than the average support group, I am hoping that this wi …
