Well done. My mum's Canadian, my father was American (in the Navy) but I grew up between different countries, so I don't really count as being from anywhere. It's all arbitrary anyway.
This thought has been haunting me for the past 3 years. But i didnt want to say anything publicly cause CIA is following the internet and all and i didnt want to potentially cause him any problems with the authorities.
Go to Italy for 3 weeks in summer (mid year for uni, will have homework, be a bit rushed) Or go in winter for new years and Christmas for about 6 weeks.
