Robin’s Reverie is an Instagram page dedicated to Robin’s year of living and travelling in Italy. Having studied languages and art at both Durham and Oxford University, he set off to Italy for a year of teaching, exploring, and learning.  As his time there draws to a close, we discuss his main lessons and takeaways from his immersion in the Italian way of life.  We discuss everything from  Why younger Italians don’t tend to leave home the same age as us Brits If we know what the American dream is, what then is the Italian dream? The secrets to a happy family life  The Italian method of not letting work consume you  Fiction vs. Non-fiction and what balance you should aim to strike Is Oxford actually a better university than others? Why you should go to the opera And so much else. From Byron to Dante to Austen to James Herriot. We cover a wide range of literary figures and their works.  If you’re new here, please consider subscribing and giving the show a 5-star review as it is the main way a podcast grows.
