Hey everybody,

I posted a blog a WHILE ago talking about potentially trying to get a teaching job overseas in Europe, and I have officially landed one for a full school year in Trieste, Italy. I'm teaching elementary school at an International School, so no I don't speak any Italian yet :D

The purpose for this blog is that I've only left the United States to go to Canada, Central America, and the Caribbean, never have I been overseas for an extended period of time, and I want to make the most of it in numerous ways.

I'm hoping to revamp my progaming career during my stay in Italy, and attend at least one event in Dreamhack.

I was hoping for two suggestions/words of advice from people!

First off, I'm living in NorthEast Italy if you were unaware of Trieste's existence, and was hoping to hear about places to travel throughout Northern Italy or anywhere beautiful in Europe that's within train or cheap flight distance. Note: I'm currently extremely ignorant of travelling prices throughout Europe etc, so any advice or information would be very helpful!

Secondly, is anyone in the area a SC2 gamer?! I want to expand my SC2 friendship to many Euros that I've either only talked to online, or those I've never met before! I'd love to travel to European barcrafts, or any type of gaming related event and any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks again, I hope people get in touch, I'd love to meet you all!


Your friend,
Ryan "coL.Ryan" Rushia

You should be able to take a cheapish train to Florence, I just went there a few months ago and it's really nice for a day trip.

Congrats! Always been a fan of your stream. Good luck.
Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!

Are you gonna come to Germany Babe? Maybe gamescom? I would absolutely go to a club with you, where we can dance to girly music.

No but seriously, I definitely can't come to Italy but if you get up to Germany I'd be quite pleased

Florence for sure!
