One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things
Henry Miller
Hi! My name is Barb and I am in love with travel, books and food in equal measure.
I can claim a fair amount of experience in packing quickly and moving, which I have used in my life from time to time for longer or shorter periods. I am curious about places and foods I have never tried before, so no destination is too small or uninteresting for me, as well as when I try my hand at cooking or learning a new language. With mixed results, of course, but enthusiasm and a little background music are never lacking!
There are places in the world that I feel are my home away from home, but right now I am stuck in the Tuscan countryside. No one is complaining, on the contrary!
In everyday life, I like to get up very early and have a very long breakfast or go for a walk with a clear plan in mind and then get lost for hours and miles with anyone who joins me, from animals to friends or family. I have had accounting and administrative experience in the past, but my current job is the best: I write and translate about travel, and as you can see, I don’t easily run out of words.
I am happy to take on any kind of writing, translation (or travel) adventure, and my office is always well stocked with books and snacks.
