About Virginia
When I was a kid in New York, people made fun of me for talking so much with my hands. But the world was just too big and interesting not to try to grab onto it with every word, you know? So instead of talking less, I decided to go more, and farther. Before I settled in Italy I ran around the world like Kerouac said, wanting to know what *it* was. I studied politics and philosophy but it was who I met along the way that taught me how to live. Now I get to tell their stories and (I hope) do them justice, so that other people might also want to go and find out more for themselves. I am, all things considered, in the right place.
