Writer in Sicily, Italy

Read my blog

Cheers, thanks for taking the time to stop by.

I'm an Australian (originally from Perth, W.A) who has been living in Sicily for sixteen years.

My blog Sicily Inside & Out is about my life as an expat here on the island, my travels around it and how best to experience its culture and sights.

I work as a copywriter, photographer, english teacher, translator and freelance writer.

Of Sicilian Descent is the name of my recently completed travel memoir if you'd like to read it or know of a publisher, let me know.

My life is joyfully chaotic life filled with crazy Sicilian characters and a sweet little boy who happily mixes English and Italian in the same sentence.

I haphazardly published articles about Sicilian culture, history and creative writing on online journals, academic publications and print publications including: The Best of Sicily, Times of Sicily, Sikania, Travel 42 (Northstar travel) and L'Italo Americano.

Photography has been my passion for more than twenty years and I love sharing daily pics on Instagram, why not pop over and say hi: @rochelledelborrello

I'm looking forward to getting more creative with many writing projects on the boil and a future Youtube channel and Podcast from Sicily next year.
