Tamara lives with progressive MS in Italy. Thanks to her impressive resilience she keeps on travelling, writing books and teaching kids.

You can read her short answers to all questions in the blog article: https://ms-perspektive.com/023-tamara-fumagalli

My interview guest today is Tamara Fumagalli from Lombardy in Italy, who enjoys life and loves to travel despite her progressive MS. Tamara was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2004, but probably had her first symptoms in 1999.

Her neurologist advised her that teaching might be a good career choice, and she followed that advice. Tamara enjoys traveling around Europe with her family and always does a lot of research in advance to know how well the destinations are compatible with her physical limitations. In addition, Tamara has already written several books, which are available in Italian and sometimes other languages.

Introduction of Tamara Fumagalli

Hi I have just turned 45 this July. I married 15 years ago after 10 years of relationship. My daughter Emma was born in August 2010. I am an English teacher. I love animals and got 2 cats at home and since last year I have had 3 donkeys with my father at his field.  I love travelling and programming them. I like writing and I have published 3 books so far. I am keen on reading.

Do you have any advice you would give your younger self for the timing of diagnosis?

Don’t think it is the end.

How and where can interested people find you online?

Just search for “Tamara Fumagalli” or look for “willwheels” on Google.

I find the resilience of Tamara very impressive and a big thank you for being so open and sharing her story and ways to live with the various MS symptoms. I wish Tamara many more great places to travel to, joyful time with her family and good time with the school kids.

See you soon and try to make the best out of your life, Nele
