Not Your Average Globetrotter

In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter we'll talk about the questions that I often get via email about moving to northern Italy, some wondering specifically about various regions and towns. Because I spent time living in Alto Adige I also get questions about moving to Alto Adige too. In this video, I wanted to answer an email that combined the topics of moving to Italy with a family and moving to Italy to be able to travel around Europe. Both northern and southern Italy can be great hop-off points to travel around Europe for cheap. However, it does take some planning, and also it's important to consider how far away from the airports you will be. But even though Italy can be great for travelers, because of how much there is to see in such a small area, it can be great to just travel around Italy while living abroad in Italy as an expat. When considering the move to Italy, these topics discussed in the video are just another few points to add to your list of considerations.

In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter I wanted to talk about messages I sometimes receive from individuals who are thinking about moving abroad Illegally. Becoming an Illegal immigrant comes with a number of challenges which we'll talk about in this video to try and paint a picture of some potential situations that may arise if you move to another country without a visa or permission of stay. When talking about Italy, if trying to get a permesso di soggiorno for Italy, even when studying in Italy, you will run into restrictions on how much it would be possible to work. The life of an illegal immigrant can be a difficult one.

I wanted to share a little bit about what's going on and what life in Italy has been like this summer and film a video outside this week. Summer in Italy can be a time full of fun and relaxation, and even with the current situation, that has not stopped this aspect of living in Italy. In this video I'll also touch on the questions some people have which are "what is Ferragosto?" "is Italy back to normal" "is Italy open".

Expat life isn't always easy, which is why in this video I wanted to share with those of you who live abroad or who are thinking about living in another country. Like the saying goes "hindsight is 2020" and now in 2020 I wanted to share some of what I personally would have done differently in hopes that it may help someone else out there. Living abroad comes with some challenges, and one of the reasons why I make my videos is so that others can use my videos about life abroad and living in italy as a "cheat sheet".

In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, it's time to talk about falling in love with someone from another country can be a wonderful and exciting experience. But is it for everyone and will you find your right match? I often get emails and DM's asking about dating an Italian, how to get an Italian man, dating an Italian woman and so on... Having lived abroad for more than a decade there are a few things I've noticed that seem to ring true. Expat life comes with new adventures that have their ups and downs, and dating as an expat and dating someone from another country may become part of the overall living life as an expat in Italy, or you may never even have to leave your own country. In this video I wanted to talk not only about life in Italy and dating in Italy, but also about living abroad and dating abroad as a broader subject.

A 1 euro house in Italy in Italy sounds wonderful, no? Have you always wanted to buy a house in Italy? For those who love a project, these homes can be a great way to move to Italy and enjoy living in Italy. But is a 1 Dollar house in Italy really the best choice to make? In this video, we'll go over why I personally wouldn't buy a home in Italy for 1 Euro. But yes would buy a house in Italy. I think it would in fact be great to buy a home in Italy but I would personally choose to go a different route especially as an expat living in Italy already and having experience with life in Italy. If you're looking for a place to live there are other cheap places in Italy. 1 euro houses for sale Italy exist, but the final cost will almost surely be more.

In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, it's time to talk about one of the first questions many people have when researching Italy and either moving to or traveling here is "Is Italy safe to travel?".

In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, we'll talk about how life abroad can be an amazing thing. But, unfortunately for many, it comes with some bumps in the road that can come from not fully understanding everything that comes along with the lifestyle change. Even once you are already living abroad there will be plenty that you'll learn as you go. Things which you think might be a big deal when it comes to expat life may end up being the smallest non-issues, and things that you never imagined could make the biggest difference.
