Why We're Moving to Italy — The Real Story of What We're Preparing to Leave Behind

Dela

Twelve years ago, Stefano and I left Florence chasing a better living in the US. We found it, for a while. In this episode I'm telling you the real reason we're moving back to Tuscany, and it's not the version you see on my socials.

I talk about the panic attacks I've had at airports, not knowing if my husband would make it through customs. The friendships I've kept since 2002.

Losing my brother's best friend way too young this past February, and what that taught me about not second-guessing the life you actually want. And the trade-off we're walking into: Italy still doesn't pay well, and we're not in our 20s anymore.


We haven't left yet. We're still hunting for an apartment in the small Tuscan town we want to call home. This is the honest, uncertain middle nobody talks about when they talk about moving abroad.
