Hi Im Catherine and with my partner Chris left Belfast in my fiat 500 and drove to Italy to take up residence in an abandoned villa with trullo between Martina Franca and Cisternino in the valle in May 2019. We spent the Summer doing a lot of the work ourselves and now have some leisure time and are interested in getting to like minded people. I taught English 20 years ago and always promised to come back. we both love the area and while it has had it trials are sure we have done the right thing and are looking forward to building a life here.
I joined expat.com on 07 November 2019.
