Nine Months in Florence Italy Left Her Questioning Everything

Moving to Italy can feel like the natural next step when you have dual Italian citizenship by descent and grew up imagining what life in Italy will be like, especially when Florence seems like the perfect place to start fresh in your new expat life. But the first year abroad often brings unexpected questions, and this story of an Italian American who moved to Italy shows how easily the dream and the day to day can feel out of sync. Even with a stable income, learning Italian, and a genuine connection to the culture, it can still be tough to build community, settle into local life, or understand why things feel different from what you pictured. If you have been thinking about your own move to Italy or you wonder what the early months of living overseas are really like, this episode takes a grounded look at how expectations shape the experience long before you feel fully at home. In this episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter hosted by Rafael Di Furia, you’ll hear about the early phase of life in Italy and what can influence your experience before everything starts to make sense.
