What's This All About?

I'm Deirdré Straughan (that's me in the upper left corner). This 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: .
