Barbara Boyle shares her transformative experience of relocating from San Francisco to a small town in Piedmont, Italy. In her new memoir, "Pinch Me," she recounts how she drew inspiration from her honeymoon in Italy, eventually leading to her decision to renovate a 300-year-old farmhouse. Boyle's journey emphasizes personal dreams, community building, and the joy found in embracing new experiences, showcasing that moving to a foreign country can bring fulfillment and happiness.
"This story isn't like a handbook for how people should move to the Piedmont and buy an old house and fix it up because that was our story. The story is more, if you have a dream, be open to it, listen, kind of tiptoe into it. Follow your heart."
"We found it when we were on our honeymoon. It was a second marriage, so we weren't children. We got married in December and by March, we decided we should take a two-week honeymoon."
