Sarah Jane is back after a week off with another episode featuring an international guest. Hailey Hodge grew up and went to school here in Sumter (her mom also owns Sip&Gogh), but after college she spent some time abroad in Italy and decided to stay. Now, the artist and teacher has been living and working in Florence for several years, but was back home for Thanksgiving last week and was kind enough to sit down with SJ. Hailey gives us the lowdown on what to eat, the difficulties of learning a new language and what it’s like to walk 530 miles.
