leave Italy, why? Browsing through the pages of migrant people (but not only) one realizes that there are two prevailing reasons: there are those who work there do so for those who follow the / the partner who has found work abroad ... Elena has done so for the second reason. Elena is Savigliano (Cuneo), but had always lived in Milan before joining her boyfriend (now husband and father of her two children) in Ecuador. "They are mostly full-time mom. [...] I have many passions and some of them have turned into jobs, but I remain bound to the rhythms of children. For now, that's okay, I'm happy to enjoy them and we will see in a couple of years when they both go to school what I can do! Everything also depends on where we are and how long we will stay. "
For more than two years Helen and her family live in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA), but when I ask: "Have you ever thought about going back in Italy?", Elena says, "I think about all the time . This life, like all others, has pros and cons, ups and downs and sometimes I feel really lucky to live this experience and others I'm sorry to be away from my loved ones, do not enjoy my children love their grandparents and uncles. But both my husband and I know that when this vagabond life were never to hurt our children or more does not make us happy, we could always go back to Italy. "
About Italy Elena loves "the culture, history, elegance, taste the food," but: "I love the little picture that we were able to build thanks to the policy, lack of love for our homeland, the little civic sense and rudeness you encounter on the street. "
Who, like her, the situation of Italian immigrant living abroad Elena says," trying to teach their children Italian language and Italian culture. I know many people who have no interest to pass on their culture, but I think it's a beautiful gift to their children "and the reader from the UK: "Go find your most frequently relatives or friends abroad and always remember to bring cheese, coffee and saffron."
Thanks Elena!
