italy segreta: a sicilian first kiss🍋
the sicilian issue
When I was at the ripe age of sixteen, I lived in Sicily as an exchange student. Ever since, the country of Italy has lived very close to my heart with all of its delights and subjective “faults”. Whenever I miss it (very often), I love getting lost in the articles and photographs of Italy Segreta, transporting me back to the land of passion, delicious food, and letting everyday annoyances (like hours-long post office line-ups) roll off my back and into a cannolo.
This is why I was very excited to be a little part of The Sicily Issue! Click or tap here to read my teenage angst-filled recount of my first kiss in Sicily💋, mamma mia!
My first kiss was also aged 16 but it was in the parking lot of my sister’s middle school in the suburbs of Long Island (NOT Italy) on my sister’s birthday. Not dreamy whatsoever but I’m glad someone’s was!
