Welcome from a northern neighbour booklover21! I've been to northern Italy many times and love it. I'm glad you found the courage to say Hi (took me longer than you) and hope you'll enjoy the community

I took Spanish for a couple years but it didn't take. I honestly don't think I could learn a second language at this point in my life. I use voice to text a lot and I'm pretty sure Siri has it out for me, so I at least have that excuse for my grammatical errors.
Anyway, welcome.
Hahahaha Thank God for Google translator. I tried to learn in Chinese for a few years, obviously it went very badly. We definitely have other talents besides languages😂. Thank you so much for your welcome!

I'm glad you found the courage to say Hi (took me longer than you) and hope you'll enjoy the community Wow! So many people have been to Italy, it’s really a nice country (we are a bit noisy and extroverted but we entertain people😊). Thank you so much for your warm welcome!

Hello everyone! This is the first time I have written something after about a year of registration in which I have been a frequent silent observer. I don’t know exactly why it took me so long but I guess I’m just a little shy and a little intimidated to be surrounded by people who understand and share what I feel after so many years of loneliness about my dev identity. My being a dev has always been my most intimate secret and honestly I think it will always remain a secret in the eyes of the world (and I think I like it that way). I am very happy to meet you officially...and forgive me for any grammatical errors( English is not my first language). I’ll join all the others in welcoming you. I completely understand your shyness. I felt the same way for a really long time. What I will say is that everyone on her has been very welcoming; I hope you enjoy all the chats you can get involved in. Also love Italy. Thinking of popping over for my summer holiday this year and going back to Florence as well as Verona and Padua. I’m UK-based so it’s nice and easy, the hard part is choosing where in Europe to pop for quick getaways because there’s so much to see.

I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from PD😊. Florence is magnificent, I love it! In case you need advice on some beautiful cities to visit in Italy contact me whenever you want!

Some more than others.
For example; I have the rare and widely sought after talent of being able to estimate exactly how many chips I need for the amount of salsa/nacho cheese I have. I know, I know. total panty dropper.

I’ll add my welcome to the welcome party. Still feels odd since I literally just joined. I too have been a bit of a lurker and finally decided to join. Looking forward to being part of the community.

Welcome, not alone in lurking for (a long) while, glad you opened up. Regarding Italy oh please. Italy is the best part of Europe, best food, best wine, best art, best history. As someone in a household including Dutch, German and Spanish ancestry, we prefer Italy.

I am very happy that you think this of Italy, unfortunately there are several prejudices about us around ( some of which unfortunately are not really false). Yes, I can assure you that the food is one of our strong pieces, in fact I am preparing homemade pizza right now! (Just not to reinforce stereotypes😂)
