Growing up in the Middle East, Victoria saw an evolution from old-time souqs and desert traditions to modern-day glitz and glamour and high-rise buildings. With itchy feet, she's always on the go, finding new places to live, study, and work, from Northern Italy to the French Riviera to North America. With a passion for language and an eye for art and culture, one of her favourite activities is discovering art and architecture in Italian cities, as well as chatting in Italian to locals with her tipple of choice in hand – a ‘Spritz Misto’.
