Hi! I’m Sarah. I’m described by my European friends as the most typical American they have ever met, a direct result of my overuse of the word “love “ and total abuse of superlatives (not every weekend can really be the BEST one I’ve ever had).
I never studied abroad in college so instead of eating Piatzas on European Rivieras I chowed down on hot dogs at Chicago’s Weiner Circle. When I graduated from Northwestern I moved to India for four months to work for an AIDS organization. After several near death-by-rickshaw scares I beelined to New York and fell into a life defined by cramped apartments, $10 beers and True Blood vampires in my marketing job at HBO.
Earlier this year I got into business school and the thought of attending finance classes and honing my resume for the next two years left me feeling antsy. I also loved my job at HBO but felt compelled to see more of the world. To the horror of my parents I decided an advanced education and a “steady, 401K, heavy-benefits” career were just not as appealing as being an English teacher in Italy. At least not at this point in my life.
The way I see it, NOW is my opportunity to jet set. I am 26-years old, single and mortgage-less. If not now, when? Check out our continued adventures around the world at: www.sistersbailey.wordpress.com

You are a rock star. Can’t wait to read about your travels. When you walk down Via Dell’Independenza in Bologna, think of me. I used to live a few blocks from there. Try Regina Margherita for some amazing pizza and Osteria del Sole, una osteria incastrata tra le botteghe più tradizionali della Bologna dal sapore medieval. It was built in 1465!
Miss you already sisterfriend!!!! Love the goals
When you find your Italian lover, ask if he has a brother !!!
