you're right I didn't write a lot about myself.
I came in Toronto 2 months ago and I'm a babysitter, I take care of two kids and I decided to come here cause I finished the high school in Italy and I wanted to take a break  to think better about my study at university.
I'm 19 and I love hang out with friends, intact the only thing I miss from Italy is my complicity with them:)

Hello and welcome to Toronto.

Just curious: why did you pick Canada of all places? I could never imagine leaving such a beautiful country such as Italy filled with architecture, history, and incredible culture.

Feel free to message me anytime.

Hi!
I choose Canada cause my best friend last two years ago went to Canada to study and she falls in fall with this country, so I decided to came here to take a break from my studies. :)
Italy is beautiful but now there aren't opportunity for young people

Hi Michela93,

http://www.earlylearninghq.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Welcome-banner.jpg

Although I no longer live in Canada (in Brazil for 11 years now) I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you on belhalf of the entire Expat-blog Team.

Toronto, and in fact, the entire "Golden Horseshoe" area as it is known is a wonderful part of Canada to live in. You will find just like your friend you will certainly fall in love with it. There are so many things to see and do. You will find one major difference in Canada from many other countries - that is the concept of DISTANCE. While in many countries, especially smaller ones, the people hesitate and may even complain about travelling across town or over distances. In Canada, mostly because of the vastness of the country, we have come to accept travel as commonplace so people think nothing of jumping in their car or on a bus to travel from Toronto all the way down to Niagara Falls just for the day. Sometimes even longer trips to other Ontario cities such as Ottawa, very beautiful there too.

One thing you will find is that anywhere you go in Ontario you will find an extremely large and active Italian community, probably one of the largest outside of Italy. So if you start feeling lonely or homesick you won't have too look to far in order to find somebody from your homeland to hang out with and help cure the blues.

Hope you have lots of fun here on the blog and make lots of new friends, not only who live close by, but also from every corner of the globe too.

Cheers,
William James Woodward - Brazil Animator, Expat-blog Team
