*about
Ciao and welcome to Bleeding Espresso!
I’m Michelle Fabio, and I’ll be your server.
I’m an American who moved to my ancestors’ hilltop village of Badolato in Calabria (the toe of Italy’s boot) in 2003 because I wanted to, which you can read more about here.
A year and a half later, I fell in love with P (read how we met here) and later adopted two of the cutest, sweetest dogs in the world (Luna and Stella–read all about them here) and three baby goats, Pasqualina, Margherita, and Carmelina. We also have, at various times: hens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, and guinea pigs.
I am a freelance writer who has also been known to teach English and translate (Italian to English) from time to time. My writing experience includes:
- Guide to Law School at About.com
- Guarda! weekly column for Italy Magazine
- LegalZoom.com
- Online College Blog
- OnlineEducation.net
- easyJet Destination Guide to Lamezia Terme
- The Legal Intelligencer
- Create
- Transitions Abroad
- International Living
- Women’s Independent Press
- LifeScript.com
- BootsnAll Travel Network
- CheapStingyBargains.com
- TomatoCasual.com
- Degrees.info
- Italian Notebook
I am also a non-practicing attorney, amateur chef and baker, and proud auntie.
For those of you who have been around for a while, you may be wondering where Sognatrice is. She’s still here inside of me–I’ll never stop dreaming–but I’ve retired the nickname. I started out with the idea of blogging anonymously but times have changed and now I’m Michelle again.
But you can still call me Sognatrice if it makes you happy.
