Welcome to ALOR! I’m Brandy Shearer.

Born in Iowa, raised in Ohio, I found myself, and my husband Italian Photographer & Artist Paolo Ferraris in New York City.

After working for InStyle, HBO, Food Network and eventually becoming the Executive Producer of Discovery Digital Studios, I took a flying leap into the world of consulting in 2013.

As self-employed nomads, Paolo & I launched ALOR (the Art of Living on the Road) in 2014. As our lives evolved so too has ALOR.

In 2016 we set our sights on retiring early and moving to Italy as artists. By 2019 we attained financial freedom, and in April of 2020 we moved to Italy! We’d love to hear from you, let’s connect.

You know you're in Italy when... Why eggs are refrigerated in America but not Europe (link in bio). ⁠⁠
What two people moving to Italy next week look like! Ever dream of living in Italy for a year? Ilene & Gary did! Their book "Our Italian Journey: Living our Dream in Italy for One Year" recounts the adventure. I got the chance to catch up with @italianjourney to find out what they are feeling before their flight next week to return to Italy. Interview + book details on ALOR! ⁠⁠
Help! I Need My Foglio Rosa is the name of an actual Facebook Group because... getting an Italian Driver’s license is THAT hard for American & Canadian expats. ⁠⁠
