How long does the magic of Rome last to an expat? We recently received an email from a listener, an Australian who spent 5 years in Milan and has now been living in Rome for over a year. He wonders: when will the bubble burst? How long will he feel like his entire life is surreal, like he is living in a dream? Does the magic of living in Italy ever pass? Does it ever become mundane? Tiffany and Katy have lots of opinions. Listen in as they discuss! PS LIsteners are always welcome to send in questions! If your question resonates, we may just dedicate an entire episode to it!
