Cin Cin, Salute, Proost, Skal, Cheers to 2011!

Happy New Year and Felice Anno Nuovo!

It is hard to believe that we are ringing in 2012, especially since 2011 seemed to fly by!  2011 was -- without a doubt -- the most amazing year of my life (so far). I moved to Rome and starting living Italian style and working for an amazing UN agency which does work around the world that I am incredibly proud to be part of.  This year has been incredibly full --I fell in love with Italy and had the joy of introducing it to my family. Among many other amazing things, I met incredible new friends, slept under the stars of the Sahara with old friends, learned (some) Italian while debunking the mysticism of the "romantic Italian man" (which I still love nonetheless), dove off the side of a boat into the Tyrrhenian Sea, discovered a love of Sweden and all things Swedish, realized I actually do like the So-Cal accent, embraced my friend's words "you should be travelin' man" and saw as many places as I possibly could, and remembered how great it is to spend every weekend of the summer at the beach.

I am so grateful to everyone and for everything that made 2011 incredible -- thank you!  I am so excited for whatever amazing things 2012 holds!

Baci da San Diego e ci vediamo a presto!
