Ciao!
My name is Yurie. I live in Puglia with my Italian husband ,1 year old cheeky baby and 6 sausage dogs.
I left Japan when I graduated from university. I was so in love with Australia so I moved to Brisbane leaving everything and everyone behind.
Now you probably ask why I'm in Italy now. But well the story is very long. Really long. So this is just my story in nutshell.
My life goal was set when I was 12. Live in Australia for good. But many turns and curves, and of course many heartbreaks and unfortunate events, I ended up in Gold Coast.
That's where I met my former boyfriend now husband. I assure you, it's almost impossible not to bump into Italians in Australia.
Anyhow, my world went upside down. From I LOVE DOWNUNDER to I LOVE PIZZA. Somehow. Don't ask me why, please. I don't know the answer! So I left me beloved Australia. Again I left my home of 7 years and everything behind, and I ended up in unknown land called Puglia.
