My husband and I retired last March and are now living in Verbania, Italy with our dog, Barley.
We road tripped across the US, transited the atlantic on the Queen Mary 2, and now live in an apartment on the shores of Lago Maggiore. Barley has a blog that is documenting our adventures. Catching up on posts since we arrived in Italy, but now covers obtaining our long term visa, taking the QM2, and traveling to Europe with a dog, and starting to cover our adventures here.
Not sure if I can post link here....but our website is not promoting any business nor generates income.
