Frankie describes herself as an English, twenty-something, adoptive Roman and amateur Albanian. Adoptive because she now lives in Rome. Amateur, because her boyfriend is from Albania. Ramblings from Rome is her new blog; a few years back Frankie blogged about her recuperation after she broke her leg rather badly in a scooter accident. Rambings from Rome is full of observations on Italian life, as well as being an English teacher in Rome. Frankie has a wicked sense of humour, and an easy writing style, so do pop over for a read.
