My name is Bailey Alexander and I sailed across the Atlantic, from Seattle to Gibraltar in 2002, with my husband and 2 papillons, Colette and Godot. We proceeded to live in Rome, Paris, Geneva, Malta, Venice, Amsterdam, Prague and Bucharest for 12 years before we settled down and bought a home in Piemonte, Italy. I love Italy and feel that Piemonte is the secret that needs to be told, nestled up against the Alps, producing wine, truffles, hazelnuts, Cheese and some of Italy’s finest products. I’m from Seattle so I love the industrious and productive nature of the Piemontese.
I wrote a book about my adventure called “A European Odyssey; How a boxer’s daughter found grace” and am currently working on a follow up book about the Piemontese. I’m interviewing 12 local people who have touched my life and hope to have it published before the New Year. I am a Europhile but loved growing up in the United States. Life is an adventure and travel has proved a positive way to experience the beauty and diversity of the world in which we live.
