Nancy Hampton

Nancy Hampton was born in Lynchburg VA and grew up in Maryland. She lived most of her life in the DC suburbs except for short stints in Ohio and Philadelphia. Nancy and Luther lived just south of Frankfurt Germany for six years which gave them a taste for living outside the US. She worked as a graphic Artist and Web Designer and retired in 2013. The couple moved to Italy in 2014. Nancy likes to cook, mostly ethnic dishes because she misses it, after having lived in DC, home of every embassy in the world and consequently all their foods. She says Italians (as a whole) are not terribly curious about things outside their region to include new cuisines. We like eating in new restaurants and visiting wineries. In addition to cooking, her interests include writing her journal and helping people with any questions about Italian life; she’s a basketmaker and enjoys reading and gardening.
Luther Hampton was born in Ohio and grew up all over because he was from a military family. He is an Electrical Engineer by degree but morphed into an IT guy and has a masters from University of Maryland. He is a self taught wine expert. He is very interested in Languages and is fluent in German and Italian, that must come in handy and he loves to travel.
