Querida Itália

About me

Who am I?

Julia Machado

Hey there! I’m Júlia, a curious Brazilian who once fell head over heels in love with Italy and never looked back!

It all began in 2014 when I first came to Italy for a vacation: it was love at first “visit.”

Since then, my connection with the land of pasta and pizza has only grown stronger. I started with a 6-month university exchange, returned for a 2-year academic master’s degree, and now I’m living the dream of working here, having called Italy my home since 2017!

 

 

 

My mission

I share my experiences and insights and help you steer clear of tough situations, so you can spend more time enjoying and savoring the wonders of our beloved Italy.

Traveling, studying, working, and living in Italy: I’ve been through each of these phases, and I want to assist those who are embarking on this journey as well!

The goal of my blog is to share my mistakes and successes and help you make the most of your journey with Italy, whatever it may be.

I aim to turn your anxiety into enthusiasm so that you too can build your own version of the DOLCE VITA.
