I’m Deirdré Straughan (that’s me in the upper right corner). This personal site collects my writings, photos, and videos – mostly about living in Italy and travelling in Italy (and elsewhere). But there are also sections on food, technology, my career, my life, the international school I attended in India, and what I think about it all – in short: my life in Italy, India, the Internet, and other countries beginning with I. You may not agree with everything I say (intelligent disagreement and other feedback welcome!), but I hope you enjoy reading it anyway.
You can write to me for a subscription to my free weekly-ish newsletter, or subscribe to a (more frequent) RSS feed.
If you would like to advertise on this site, I’ll probably be happy to accomodate you, but please read this first.
This site is hosted on Dreamhost, and has been for years. More than decent service, good uptime, lots of freebies (such as the WordPress this blog is now running on). If you want to use Dreamhost, click here - I’ll get a referral fee (thanks!).
If you’re a long-time reader or for whatever other reason would like to say “thanks”, a gift from my Amazon wish list is always welcome. ; )
