Because in Italy students are taught since young age that if you don’t know English you will never go far in life. Since I always wanted to see the world, the idea of spending the rest of my life on a small island in the south of Italy both scared me and made me terribly sad. So I kind of started seeing English as my way to escape that reality and a ticket to a happy life traveling around so I did my best to learn it (Tumblr and internet taught me more than school actually). I think I’m average good anyway, still learning, still loving Italian more. I blog in English because this way people from all around the world can communicate with me and understand my posts etc.
