Perché ho lasciato l'Italia a 61 anni
At 61, I left Italy to move to Gran Canaria. After 10 years, I'll tell you why I did it and what I really found here. It wasn't an escape. It was a choice. The choice to live, not to survive. In this video, I talk honestly about what it means to leave everything at 61 and start from scratch on an island 3,000 km from home. I'll tell you about my life in Bergamo, the stress of business consulting, meeting Marisa, and the decision to choose a new place for both of us. But above all, I'll tell you about the underlying reason: the need to question myself, to rediscover my curiosity, to feel alive again. Ten years later, I can say it was one of the best decisions of my life. Not because the Canary Islands are paradise (they have their problems, too), but because I rediscovered myself. In the video, I talk about: The life I had in Italy and why it was too small for me How I met Marisa and the decision to leave together Why we chose the Canary Islands (climate, lifestyle, people) The first few months: difficulties, language, settling in What I really found after 10 years The difference between running away FROM something and moving TOWARD something This video is for you if: You're thinking about moving abroad after 60 You feel stuck in your current life You're afraid of being "too old" to start over You want to understand if leaving Italy is the right choice You're considering the Canary Islands as a destination My experience tells you that: Age is never the problem. Fear is. At 61, I thought I was too old. At 71, I'm happy I did it. It wasn't easy. I had doubts. But these 10 years have been the richest of my life. Not for what I found on the outside, but for what I found on the inside. 📍 WHO I AM: I'm Pieraldo, I'm 71 years old and have lived in Gran Canaria for 10 years.
