We are a non-smoking couple with one grown son now off into adulthood. We love where we live (Vermont), but are aching to see more of the world. In addition to our jobs (I've run a computer repair business for the last 17 years, and she is a kitchen designer), we are both artists (songwriter and painter, respectively). In addition, we have owned homes and value the sanctity of one's personal space and belongings.
We are responsible, communicative, and honest, and pet lovers, hoping to find the right situation outside of the U.S. where we can appreciate a different way of life. Happy to provide as many references as needed, and happy to speak directly.
And I'll add: my grandmother's family came to the U.S. from Positano on the Amalfi Coast, and I've longed to be there my entire life. But anywhere in Italy would be a dream come true.
