Hi! I’m Sara, unearthitaly on tumblr! I have a formal education in cultural and linguistic mediation and I work in the hotels in one of Italy's most developed tourist destinations, Alto Adige/South Tyrol. I embody some sort of "bridge" between Italian and other cultures professionally but also vocationally. I like to help Italophiles discover Italy beyond the obvious and I share tips on travel, culture, lifestyle and language.

It has a surprising number of languages too.

Castilian Spanish

French

Italian

German

Tagalog

Turkish

I haven’t tried it yet, I’ll get back to you lot when I do. I’ll probably test the Spanish and then maybe try Dutch or Tagalog :-)
