Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English.
Nel 2003 Rebecca ha iniziato a scrivere dei saggi per il sito Slow Travel, raccontando la sua esperienza di ragazza di città che dagli Stati Uiniti si è trasferita nella campagna umbra.
Le sue riflessioni sono riprodotte qui.
Umbria Slow:
That’s fantastic Rebecca. I might just take your advice and celebrate by putting my feet up.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer, more deserving saggy-sweatpantsed ass. Or something like that. AUGURONI!
Congratulations. You make us all proud. I love your writing!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats girlfriend!! No wonder you have been in hiding :D Definitely well deserved ;-)
Oh dear, I do understand your friend. But you’re not anything like these people out there who play once and win it all. You truly *rock*! So much great, witty and inspiring writing on your blog. Or were the boys involved too in your case? The two of them secretly writing it all up over the years and you not telling anybody?
Good luck with your new ventures!
Katja
bravissima….quando si fa un buon lavoro con passione e divertendosi, non si possono non avere che buoni risulatati, congratulazioni…;)
Congratulations! I am a newcomer to your blog, I enjoy it very much!
Rebecca,
Tanti auguri! I’m not surprised! I’ve been an avid reader of your blog for several years, due to your unique style and excellence in turning a phrase. Being validated with these new opportunities is well-deserved and will offer more readers the chance to enjoy your slice of life in Umbria. Complimenti!
Well done!
Fantistico!
I am so happy for you..!
BRAVA!!!
I was expecting this.
And I am also hoping you will write a book about your amazing funny sayings and universal wise words of wisdom.
Congratulations. They certainly appointed the right person for the job.
At last the rest of the world is discovering what some of us have known for a long time – you’re funny, very funny, and sometimes informative too. OH, and a great writer. So congratulations not so much to you, but for the rest of the world for finally recognizing your talent(s)! And thanks for taking the time to write about someplace we love too – Umbria!
Congratulations to a very talented writer!!! I have been enjoying your posts on Slow Trav and here for years, and now have even more to look forward to!
Rebecca, Congratulations! You are living my dream! I’d be jealous, but as you said in the beginning of your post, I could only be envious if you were undeserving. You are a talented writer and I am very happy for you. Looking forward to meeting you soon. (I’ll be back in Orvieto on November 28). Hugs.Toni
Fantastic news…you are the right girl for the jobs… Best,

Wow Rebecca … congratulations! Now I do not agree on the winning the lottery bit, you really deserve this (and lots more!!!). You are an excellent and very entertaining writer, keep up this good work (and happy to know you will because you are onw also getting paid!).
Luck and talent–you have both. Congrats.
Dear Rebecca, I cannot tell how happy I am to work with you, not only because of the fun of doing things together (it felt so lonely before) but also because you are inspiring to me, as a writer, as a woman, as a mother. I really look up to you.
Thank you for reminding me I won the lottery with this job – sometimes I’m so overwhelmed with social network restless interaction, the posts I have to wright by 11 o’ clock in the morning (inspired or not), and the freaking analytics curves, that I lose sight of a fact: this is a dream job.
Thank you for this post, and I look forward to be out there with you again, collecting contents, photos, good laughs and very nice memories.
Auguri, Rebecca, that’s great news! And you totally deserve it, too. I’m glad the universe is looking out for you. :)
Rebecca,
Love your ramblings and congrats on Umbria App.. I just spent another Christmas in Assisi and of course had your app. way before I knew you had anything to do with it. Yes, I am an American who loves this country but considers Umbria a close second. Love the people and the beautiful country, food is fabulous and the people in Assisi are the most friendly and kind I have met in all of Europe.
Love your stories on Expat site……I know being a transplant is not that easy but I believe you have done the best anyone could do…making the most of the situation. God Bless You! Pace e bene
Hi Rebecca,
Well done!! We are both delighted to hear of your new job/jobs…..we are particularly delighted to hear of the iphone app which will be of great value to us and to our guests here in Italy.
From the very first time we met you at Brigolante and your continuing friendship, we have loved following your blog. We will indeed download your app (which we hope is available on our Australian phone) and look forward to hearing more terrific news about our favorite part of the world.
Ci vediamo a Gualdo
