Living in Italy | Freelancing and Working Remotely – Digital Nomad Life and Unexpected Downsides

Thinking about moving to Italy and working remotely sounds like a dream—and honestly, in many ways, it really can be. But if you’re planning on living in Italy while freelancing or opening a business in Europe, there are a few things you’ll want to be ready for. The reality of working in Italy or freelancing in Europe comes with some quirks that might not be on your radar, especially if you’re used to a different pace or system. From figuring out how to stay connected with decent internet to navigating Italian bureaucracy, working in Europe—especially as a freelancer in Italy—isn’t always as simple as just showing up with your laptop and logging on. In this digital nomad podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, hosted by dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll be diving into work culture differences, touching on Italian tax realities, exploring internet infrastructure challenges, and looking at how working U.S. hours might affect your daily life in Italy.
