Can I live in Europe full-time without giving up my US residence? Turns out: yes. If you missed last week's post, here's the workaround most Americans haven't heard of yet — and it runs through Albania. www.marktedesco.com/post/why-alb... #ExpatLife

I will miss that ancient world I've been living in. My new historical novel is finished. Out in November. 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪: 𝘈 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘕𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭 #histfic #writingcommunity

For years the Schengen Shuffle ran on the honor system — a stamp, a calculator, a bit of hope. That world ended in April. The EU tracks every entry and exit biometrically now. www.marktedesco.com/post/the-sch... #SlowTravel #ExpatLife

Happy Fourth of July to you ! #4thofJuly

2 Roman soldiers in the 4th century. A bond that showed itself stronger than death. Convictions an emperor's decree could not break. I am John I am Paul — the true story of men whose loyalty to their belief, and to each other, outlasted everything. #HistoricalFiction #AncientRome a.co/d/05fyD2Wm

Italian showers are absurdly small. Like, you-can't-bend-over-without-hitting-the-wall small. I was convinced this was a construction failure until a Tuscan neighbor explained it last month — and the answer is so Italian I should have guessed. Full story → #Italy #ExpatLife

Jetlagged and tired after the trip from Rome to Palm Springs. But healthy routines cannot wait. Happy weekend to you 

The lawn truck back to California begins now. It was an amazing time in Italy. Finish renovating the house and got it furnished. Established a healthy routine. Crowned at all with a few days in Rome  which always feels like home Now back to Palm Springs !

Saint Peter‘s Basilica after tourist hours. Open till 8 PM . It’s so worth it to take advantage of those later times. I was standing in front of the Pietà by myself.  I was really able to reflect on my time in Rome and in that place. Also grateful to be next to Peter’s tomb with nobody around . 

Date un'occhiata al mio ultimo post sul blog, è appena uscito un minuto fa. Parla del perché non vivremmo mai più nel centro storico. www.marktedesco.com/it/blog #VivereInItalia #VitaInItalia #TrasferirsiInItalia #VivereAllEstero #ItalianLifestyle #ItalianiNelMondo #EspatriatiInItalia #NuovaVita

I want to Saint Peter‘s Basilica today and felt overwhelmed, as I always do. So much history here, both of civilization and my own life. I’m so grateful. A note for visitors.  For seven euro you can get in a fast moving line #rome #vatican booking.basilicasanpietro.va/en/idea/4128...
