NAME: Leon
NATIONALITY: Australian
SPEAKS: English & Italian
I'm Leon Kammer, Australian now living in Rome; have been here for five years with my family, one of those things that happen and you still wonder how, because it was totally unplanned and people say, "how did you end up in Rome?" I kind of have to think about it for a while and trace back the steps of our last 8 years - then I try to answer them and not be too boring; we left Australia, lived and worked in Thailand with the full intention to return to Australia after spending a year in Bangkok, but decided to move on instead; New York for a year, South of France and finally Rome; then decided on a business we loved and we are still in Rome, 5 years later. So when you combine a city that you love with a business that you love - it's not too shabby for something that was unplanned. If you're thinking - "how did you do it " I will have to think about it for a while before I answer - after all taking your time is part of the culture in Italy.

NAME: Clemente
NATIONALITY: American & Italian
SPEAKS: English & Italian
My family left the States when I was about 9 years old and ever since all I have done is travel. Went to England, France, Austria and of course back to the States but at the end the love I have for this country brought me back. I have to consider myself a really lucky person to have found such a beautiful job and wonderful people to work with. This job is like a second family to me, and I will give it all my best so we can keep on growing together. This is the beginning of a new life for me and thanks to this job I get to see the best of Italy.

NAME: Dathan
NATIONALITY: American
SPEAKS: English & Italian
Coming from the United States to Italy has been a journey without limits. Inspired by a new found freedom, it's about living one's dream - my dream. It's like an upbeat melody. A tale as old as time, vivacious Italy vibrates in top notes. Lush green countryside backed by beautiful sandy beaches and tranquil villages sweep the heart into a pulsing rhythm. Sensual, warm greetings, golden cups of coffee and tantalizing recipes interweave for a throbbing finale. Sexy and alive as a body moving to the music. Choreography for the senses. That to me is Italy.

 NAME: Talia
NATIONALITY: American
SPEAKS: English, Spanish & Italian
Contrary to popular belief, I hail from the coffee capital of America, Seattle. Having left Washington to study abroad in Rome and add Italian to my list of languages, I found myself immersed in a country rich with history and culture. I traveled extensively throughout Europe and vowed to come back to Italy some day. Upon graduation I longed for a change, this time it took me to the magical city of Istanbul where I spent a summer living along the Bosphorus. Although this was an amazing experience, there was something pulling me to come back and five years I later returned to call Rome home!
