Ciao Melissa
it's great....Wow....I can't belive it....fantastic.
I live in Switzerland. My mother come from Spain and my father from Sicily (Bronte, Catania), but I was born and live here. My grandfathers name is Illuminato and I think perhaps your grandfather and my grandfather could be brothers or so.
When I was a child I was there one time to visit the family, but I cannot remember very well. Just one or two faces and a really old train, who runs from Catania up to Bronte (in more than two hours). I wanted to go on my own one time to visit Sicily. It must be great....good food...good weather...good people and the "laissez faire" feeling, but I always went to Spain when I have some weeks to visit the family there, because a part of the spanish family was also living in Switzerland and so I have contact with them.
Do you speak Italian? I still have the Italian passport, because in Switzerland you get automatically the nationality of the father. With my parents I speak Italian.
I am 25 Years old and work for a Canadian Shipping Agency as Sales
Agent. (Canada Maritime) :-)) Till this summer I studied economics part-time and worked as Agent. Now I have resigned for the End of October, because after the study I began working 100 % and it is really monotone.
The first thing I will do...is going to explore Peru and then when I get back I will try to find something else.
It's really great....the world can be so small........:-)
