It's the biggest soccer (aka football) (aka calcio) match of the year as Italy faces off against England in the European Cup. But who do cheer for if you're an Englishwoman living in Italy for more than half your life, with an Italian husband and two half-Italian kids? To find out, we chat with Julia Charity, a thoroughly English tour guide who has called Italy home for more than two decades. Listen in to this mini-episode to find out which country she is more loyal too, and why she felt more conflicted during the match than she expected she would. (Her half-English/half-Italian seven-year-old son weighs in too! Does he side with mom or dad?) **This episode was sponsored by EMERGENCY UK. Click here to find out how to donate to this worthy charitable organization that provides free high-quality healthcare around the world. ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
