After 17 Years in Italy... My Perspective Has Changed

After living in Italy for nearly 17 years, my perspective has changed in ways I never expected. Some of the things I loved when I first arrived no longer appeal to me as much, while other aspects of life here have become even more meaningful over time. In this video, I share my honest thoughts on: Why I rarely visit Florence anymore Why I almost never go to the beach What I still love about traveling around Italy Italy's healthcare system and why I value having both public and private options The little moments that still make me grateful to call Italy home This isn't another "Italy vs. America" video or a simple list of pros and cons. Instead, it's a reflection on the good, the frustrating, and the unexpected lessons I've learned after nearly two decades of living abroad. If you're thinking about moving to Italy, planning a trip, or simply curious about what life here is really like after 17 years, I hope this video offers an honest and balanced perspective.
