Irene Melega (1985)
About me
First of all, I would just like to mention that I am not good at introducing myself, I never know where to start and every time I have found it so difficult to do it without being very obvious and boring!! But well, I will try to keep it short and sweet!
I am originally from Firenze, Italy, but about 10 years ago I decided to move away from my home country in quest of new adventures. After a short stopover in NYC working in a hostel, I landed in the Emerald Island, to be more precise in Dublin, where, originally planned for only 6 months, I ended up staying for over 6 years!
Over there I improved my English, started my work career, met people from all over the world and found my loved one, my current husband, Ale, to whom I got married 3 years ago, also from Tuscany. How funny is life? I had to go thousands of kms away from my home country, to find a local guy from Livorno, a city only 90 kms away from Florence!!
To carry on with my introduction, after many years spent in Dublin, we both felt the need to turn a page and Switzerland opened its arms to us and we decided to embrace this new challenge.
Since summer 2016, I have been living in Geneva, where I am currently working as an administrative assistant in a very interesting higher education institution and so far I haven’t got bored of it!!
My passions: fashion, travelling, exploring, laughing, cooking (and obviously eating), dreaming!!
Why Geneva
I love Geneva, as it is my second home, “she” adopted me and, with her charm and style, keeps on fascinating me.
I have to say that she is not an easy one; she is quite reserved and mysterious, but she has a lot to give to her people and visitors, even though sometimes she is not considered as beautiful or as cool as some of her neighbouring cities.
