Landing on a Star in Umbria by Joyce Di Lorenzo Pdf

This is a true love story of a Dutch-Indonesian immigrant woman, married to an American man of Italian descent, and how they followed their unimaginable dream of buying a vacation home in Italy. Although many books have been written about similar experiences, this uniquely different story tells the heartwarming tale of the perils and the wonderful people they encountered during their search to find the perfect home in Morcella; a meticulously well-maintained medieval Borgo built in 975AD, in Italy’s beautiful green belt region of Umbria.

Chasing Dreams in a Sailboat by Joyce Di Lorenzo Pdf

Chasing Dreams in a Sailboat/span/em is an anthology of stories about the interesting people we met in foreign sailing destinations; vibrant people with different perspectives, backgrounds, and life experiences, who have shaped us into more open-minded individuals. This is a collection of memoirs about the cultural experiences we have encountered in our beloved British Virgin Islands, the shockingly beautiful French Polynesian Society Islands, the ancient villages along the ink-blue Tyrrhenian Sea's most dazzling stretch of the Italian coastline known as the Amalfi Coast, and the magnificent Dalaman sailing region in southern Turkey, appropriately nicknamed the 'Turkish Riviera.' In each destination, we mingled with the locals and embraced unexpected opportunities so that for a passing moment in time, we could become a part of the diverse civilization we visited.

Umbria by Patricia Clough Pdf

When Patricia Clough, a former foreign correspondent, bought a house in Umbria, she knew that buying her dream home did not mean that life would become a dream. By the end of this book, in which she describes the journey of making Umbria her home, she is sure that “if one has basic requirements for being happy, then Umbria provides some of the best surroundings for happiness.” Clough pores over Umbria's enchanting countryside, its tumultuous history, its ancient culture and sumptuous food, and laments that for a long time Umbria was mistaken for its fashionable neighbor, Tuscany. This is not a guide to buying a home in Italy, nor a guidebook for your holiday—though it would be useful as both of these things—but a story in which a woman discovers and marvels at the place she begins to call home.
