about
Ciao and welcome to Bleeding Espresso!
I’m Michelle Fabio, and I’ll be your server.
I’m a 31-year-old American who moved to my ancestors’ hilltop village in Calabria (the toe of Italy’s boot) in 2003 because I wanted to, which you can read more about here. I promptly fell in love (with P–read how we met here) and adopted two of the cutest, sweetest dogs in the world (Luna and Stella–read all about them here).
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
- The Legal Intelligencer
- Create
- Transitions Abroad
- International Living
- Women’s Independent Press
- LegalZoom.com
- LifeScript.com
- CheapStingyBargains.com
- TomatoCasual.com
- 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.
