Above ground, the ancient ruins bask in the sunlight, their stones standing as quiet witnesses to history. Below, hidden chambers and buried artifacts call to the dreamer in me—the thrill of uncovering the unknown and connecting with a lost culture. I wasn’t supposed to go underground, but I couldn’t resist observing the secrets hidden beneath the surface. I had to exit before anyone saw me, but for a moment, I imagined what it would be like to be an archaeologist, uncovering past treasures. This Sardinian site perfectly blends adventure and discovery, fueling my curiosity and love for hidden wonders.

Uno dei molti siti archeologici in Sardegna.

In superficie, le antiche rovine si crogiolano al sole e le loro pietre si ergono come silenziose testimoni della storia. Sotto, camere nascoste e manufatti sepolti richiamano il sognatore che è in me: l'emozione di scoprire l'ignoto e di connettersi con una cultura perduta. Non avrei dovuto andare sottoterra, ma non ho potuto resistere all'osservazione dei segreti nascosti sotto la superficie. Dovevo uscire prima che qualcuno mi vedesse, ma per un momento ho immaginato come sarebbe stato essere un archeologo, scoprendo tesori del passato. Questo sito sardo fonde perfettamente avventura e scoperta, alimentando la mia curiosità e l'amore per le meraviglie nascoste.

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.

  1. Excellent. What a fantastic place. Would love to visit. As enchanting, maybe more so, than our British long barrows (or maybe it’s just that they’ve become familiar)
