Initial Post

As most of you know I have been given the opportunity to work with my company's affiliate in Torino, Italia for six months next year. I have decided to start a blog to chronical my time there next year. And as all of you know I LOVE to tell stories...some of you may know them as "Tara Stories". These stories contain precise details such as dates, times, what people were wearing and the weather at the time of the story. Now these stories will be available for you to read at your leisure and you can skip parts that you don't want to hear which is not available on the live Tara Story version. I am sure many of you have a few questions/concerns about my trip such as: 1) Does she speak Italian? 2) What is she going to do when she locks herself out of her apartment? 3) Does she know anyone over in Italy? 4) What is she going to do without playing any sports for six months? 5) Is she finally going to pick up the game of soccer? Here are the answers: 1) Nope...using Rosetta Stone to learn the language. 2) Good question and one I can't answer until it happens (which we all know it will). 3) I am going over the first week in November for five days to meet people in our affiliate office but other than my future coworkers no. 4) I plan to fill up my time driking wine and skiing. 5) I think that I may have to! I welcome questions and comments about my journey and look forward to hearing from everyone!
