Kylie Flavell
Seasoned Italophile, journalist and hopeless romantic Kylie Flavell abandoned a high-paid job as food, travel and lifestyle magazine editor in Australia to run away to Italy. She now lives in Rome, is fluent in Italian and spends her days cooking, eating, writing and hiding from her landlord whenever the rent is due.
Kylie runs a magazine based in Rome on how to live, eat and play like a local and writes a monthly column 'A Life Romantic'. She also writes food and travel pieces for newspapers, websites and magazines in Canada, Australia and the UK and is a co-host for a local Italian TV program on art and culture.
Having grown up living onboard a yacht in a family of greedy eaters, she learnt how to cook in a galley and can roll pastry and chop garlic in confined spaces and high seas
