Caught Inbetween Cultures: How I made Italy home, and how it's still hard.

Caught Inbetween Cultures: How I made Italy home, and how it's still hard.

In this kick-off episode of The Real Life in Italy, I'll share my story of how I moved to Italy, and what it's been like since then.Even after 12 years of living in Italy, I don't feel any closer to being Italian, and I feel even further from being American. As expats in Italy, I think we all feel this way at some point, but it's nice to know we aren't alone. In this episode, beyond my story I'll share my thoughts about how to make life in Italy work for you, what I think about if it gets easier, and my advice for facing the challenges of being an expat in Italy. If you enjoyed the episode, and show, please leave us a 5 ⭐️ rating, it means a lot! Welcome to the Real Life in Italy. This podcast is for foreigners living in Italy, who are all just trying to make sense of it all. Listen in to learn all about a side of living in Italy everyone else forgot to tell you about. But don’t expect us all to be better, I promise. Expect some good laughs, helpful tips and cultural explanations, and expat stories to remind you that you aren’t alone, and it’ll all work out.
