La Dolce Vita

Sitting in a Roman café while on holiday in the off-season, two friends ordered espressos – the strong, black drops of coffee that the Italians do best. Due to the trials and tribulations that sometimes are a part of traveling, their moods were similar in description to the leaden skies overhead.

Bringing the cup to her lips, one took a sip of the bitter liquid, scrunched up her face and muttered, ‘Questo caffé ha bisogno due zuccheri!’ (This coffee needs two sugars!)

Something about how the comment was delivered set off gales of laughter, easily dissolving any bad tempers, just as the extra sugar dispelled the bitter edge of the coffee.

Like two sugars sweetening coffee, the friendship between two people sweetens life.

The creative force behind is Sarah Date. Shuttling back and forth from England to California in her formative years nurtured an insatiable desire to travel. As a result, she has lived in England, Australia, Italy, France, Greece, California and Perú as well as having traveled in many other countries in between. And of course she has intentions to travel everywhere else. From those experiences, she has collected images and stories that are the basis of her work as a travel writer and photographer.
