Let me tell you why.<\/p>\n<p>I decided I needed a break from my routine to recharge my batteries and to fulfil my dream of going to southern Italy. I chose Sorrento because of its proximity to exotic places such as the Isle of Capri, the Amalfi Coast and the ruins of Pompeii. I had heard it was rich in history and beauty and an ideal place to soak in the sun and culture.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I decided to check it out for myself and at the same time to take an\u00a0Italian course which I thought would be useful. Now I\u2019m finally here and I can\u2019t believe it! What I hadn\u2019t imagined was how friendly everyone is. I\u2019ve met so many interesting people. It started with my teachers, host family and classmates at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/en\/learn\/italian\/italy\/sorrento.php\">the school in Sorrento<\/a>\u00a0where I am studying. The classes are so much fun \u201cMolto divertenti!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We study for a few hours everyday and then go out on excursions or just sunbathe at the beach which is literally a two-minute walk away. The views are spectacular: dramatic cliffs that fall into the azure Mediterranean sea with little private coves and beaches along the coast. Everyone has a scooter here! Mamma Maria, the mother of my host family, is such a good cook. I can\u2019t help myself; pasta, pizza, fresh seafood and Italian ice-cream &#8211;\u00a0I\u2019ll go on a diet when I go back home! The streets are full of crowded cafes and everyone seems to be on holiday. I get to practice my Italian on the locals. They think I\u2019m hilarious! I\u2019m so happy here. I don\u2019t know why I waited so long. I haven\u2019t even left yet and I\u2019m already planning my next trip back!\u00a0My advice is to pack your bags!<\/p>\n<p>Ciao tutti!<\/p>\n<p><em>Gloria<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve just finished my second week here at the school\u00a0in Sorrento and I think I must be dreaming.
