Hi everybody!
I'm Francesca and I live with my parents in a small village near Verona immersed in the countryside. I have a brother who is married and gave me a wonderful nephew almost 3 months ago.
I did the triennale in Languages (English and French) in Verone and then I decided to move to Padua for the specialistica.
I have chosen it because I hope to have better work prospects.
I don't know what I would like to do after university, perhaps a job concerning tourism like travel agent.
It would be great to plan people's holidays.
Can you suggest me some interesting places to visit?
Something more about me.. I really like film of all ages and kinds, except comedies even if the last film I have seen is "The Devil wears Prada", but only because Meryl Streep is my favourite actress. Have you seen it?
I also like reading. Unfortunately I don't have enough spare time and I often read only the books listed in the exam programs.

If you want to learn more about my interests, go to these web sites:

http://portale.comune.verona.it
Verona is a special city. Here you'll find information about tourism, culture and other interesting activities or events such as Mantegna's paintings exhibition.

http://diari.it
Here you can read travel reports written directly by tourists. They are travellers' personal opinions but richer in emotions than tourist guides reviews.

http://www.webumbria.it/Film&LocandineYou can download all the film posters and their plots.

This is my first blog, guys. In fact I'm not very familiar with this type of "technology".
I like writing and making videos with my computer, but sometimes we haven't idyllic relations!So I hope to be able to "tame" it for this project.
I look forward to have your comments.

Hi Francesca!!!
It's quite difficult to comment your post because we're friends and know quite well each other: we have the same passion for tourism!
I can suggest you to visit San Zeno di Montagna, a small mountain village between Garda Lake and the Val d'Adige: from the main square of this hamlet there's a fine view over the whole Lake from Riva till Peschiera if the sky is quite clear; there are many paths in the wood, if you like, but if you prefer something more exciting there's also Park Jungle Adventure, which is a park in the wood made of three different routes - one easy for beginners, one of medium difficulty and one quite difficult and more dangerous for more experienced sportspeople; during the route you have a sort of harness and you have to cross some rope-bridges! I haven't yet make this experience but I want to do it next summer!! If you're curious go on the web site www.jungleadventure.it.
I like Meryl Streep too, do you remember "Kramer vs. Kramer"? At the moment I don't remember very well, which other films did she make? "La morte ti fa bella", unfortunally I don't know the original title,and then?
Francesca help me!!

Hi Francesca!!Among the different jobs I have thought of doing after university I have thought of becoming a travel agent too! I love the idea of travelling and visiting beautiful places and so also for me it would be great to organize nice and cheep trips not only for other people but above all for me!!
As for your preferences for films..I'm afraid I don't agree with you very much because I like commedies a lot and do not consider Meryl Streep as one of my favorite actresses. However I'll follow your advice and look forward to see "The Devil wears Prada"! Bye!

Hi Francesca!
I guess we'd like to work in the same field, that one of tourism, in the next future ;-) My experience at the Campsite was great, I met a lot of people, I can say for sure, coming from all over the world! This Campsite is a Family Camping and last summer, especially in high season (july and august), we were really besieged by Dutch families, but also german and english ones. Thanks to a very useful website for young people, www.hostelworld.com , we'd got a lot of students too coming from the States, from the UK, from Ireland and from Spain. They're used to travel all alone even if we're talking about holidays ;-) In low season the Campsite works instead with groups of german students who come in Italy with their teachers for a sightseeing trip. As you can say you should be very versatile once you'll decide to work with tourists, always ready to answer their questions and to satisfy their requests at any time!
And what about you? Are you seriously thinking about your own travel agency? Do you already have a strategic place where you can open it? ...
See you then!
Alice

Just thought I'd let you know I'm proud to say Meryl Streep, one of my favorite actresses too, graduated from my univeristy, Vassar College (www.vassar.edu) :-)
