I love bridges, they connect.
When I design travels I like to think of myself like a “ponte” ,a person who creates opportunity for people to come together despite the different backgrounds, cultures, environments.
I have learned a lot moving back and forth between Tuscany and New York City for so many years.Being bi-cultural makes me a very flexible thinker and I easily tailor my responses and behaviour to different social situations.
I have no problem identify myself with the values of my family when cooking traditional dishes and eating dinner at home as well as another set of values when playing bowling or backgammon with friends.
Yesterday I took a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge.The rain did not stop me.The change of scenery from Brooklyn Heights to Lower Manhattan is huge and yet the identity of New York City is not compromised.
