This write-up is amazing! It was so wonderful to spend time with you and so many of our friends in Italy. To expand on your business card tip: carrying a small amount of business cards on you at all times when you leave your house is very helpful, even when not at the fair. You never know who you're going to meet at a cafe, bookstore, museum, etc.

Yes I definitely agree! Even now that I'm home, I've put some in my backpack and purse just to have them available. It's definitely a good tip, thanks Jen :)

I saw lots of stories on instagram from all over the world on Bologna! So exciting!!! I definitely want to go, maybe next year? I would have to start saving now and get my passport, which here in Vnzla is almost like trying to win the lottery.
