Ciao Umbria!
Ciao Umbria – the journey starts
Today is January 1st, 2021….the day our journey starts. An adventure in our search for our home in the green heart of Italy. Umbria is one of the 21 regions in Italy and has two provinces, Perugia and Terni. It has a size of 8456 square kms, which is about the same size as the Dutch provinces Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland and Zeeland together.
Umbria is the area where we would love to find a home to live partially now and spend more and more time as we see the possibility. When we met we were very happy to discover that we have the same dream of living in Southern Europe. Rob preferred Italy and Sandra had her eyes on Spain or Portugal. As we are no fan of long distance relationships, we went on our first tour on the internet. Umbria was our winner.
And so the adventure started.
Reading
The first thing to get to know more about Umbria is reading books and reading more online. We bought 2 books to get more information on the citys, the lifestyle, the places to go or not to go. Traveling on paper. Discovering the awkward things, the possibilities and most of all the feeling cannot be done on paper. With covid-19 that controls the world at this moment, we have to travel on paper and the internet.
Currently we are reading these books and also the not so nice things as rules and regulations. They are different than in the Netherlands, so although not our favorite, it is important to understand. More will follow in another blog.
For now we wish you a happy and healthy 2021 and we wish to be able to travel in real to Umbria and take you with us on this journey.
