Greetings! I'm Monica, an editorial photographer from the US. In May 2024, I embarked on a new adventure in Europe with my husband, Michael, and our sweet Weimaraner, Vannah. We're spending a year here, aiming to encapsulate the essence of the Adriatic and surrounding countries through my photography.

On this blog, you'll find stories of our daily life as American expats, offering an unfiltered narrative as we immerse ourselves in vibrant local cultures and explore the rich culinary tapestry that defines this region—from Emilia-Romagna, Italy, to the Dalmatia Region of Croatia. Vannah, our ever-curious companion, will be right there with us, always on the lookout for the next potential gastronomic delight.

Think of this journey as a bit like Eat, Pray, Love—minus the search for love, since I've already found mine.
