Moving On

EDITOR’s NOTE: My friend and fellow blogger/travel writer, Orna O’Reilly, is selling her little Shangri-La in the Euganean Hills in the Veneto of northeastern Italy. If you’re interested in living “la dolce vita” among vineyards and olive groves, then this property might be just right for you.

Who would have thought that, just three years into my idyllic new life in Italy, I would already be selling up and moving house!

Having transported myself lock, stock and barrel from the west of Ireland in 2013, to my perfect apartment in the Euganean Hills south of Padova in the Veneto, the last thing I expected was to be moving on so soon.

Tom traded his hometown St. Louis Cardinals' baseball cap in the United States for a Borsalino and he now hangs his "capello" in the Puglia region of southeastern Italy.

As he notes, "I'm inspired by the beauty I find in all things that are very, very old, and reliving history, or at least meandering along the travertine and cobblestone that were laid down over a thousand years ago and just looking up and marveling at what occupies the space still today, really gets my 'Vespa' running." Tom has a good eye behind the lens and is a graphic storyteller, but he'll let you decide as he keeps his camera batteries fully charged and the posts flowing from his creative hideaway in the hills overlooking Ostuni. You can also follow his dispatches via TravelingBoy.com and Anthology Magazine Ireland.

      1. My heart sings reading these back issues of the blog — I am all caught up … and could not be happier for a wonderful chap and his lovely lass as they wind their way down country roads leaving a trail of corks behind them.
