hello everybody ciao tutti
whatever language you speak hi
my name is georgia jupi and i'm your
girl in florence
i started my blog girl in florence in
2012 and it partly was because as an
american girl originally from san
antonio texas
coming to italy for the first time
i didn't know anybody i was no longer a
student i wasn't married and
and moving as an expat i was simply just
kind of an in-betweener in my 20s trying
to figure out life in italy and all the
intricacies of
la adjusting to a new culture and i just
wanted i thought this was a great outlet
to get to know people and also showcase
what i loved about florence and italy in
general so it's not every day that
you're in the floods of ikea at night
with a splendid ceiling of asari above
you
and when i think about travel
especially right now during such
uncertain times is that to me travel has
always meant
it's always signified an antidote to
fear you know often we have perceptions
about cultures or countries it's normal
maybe bias that have been there since we
were little but the more we travel the
more we try to immerse ourselves even if
for a week or two or a month or however
long we can be there we realize just how
similar we are as people and getting to
know
you know people from other countries and
getting to immerse ourselves within
their culture and having appreciation
for that
i really feel makes us better humans
