How About Moving to Italy?

Have you ever entertained the idea of living somewhere completely different, but felt uncertain about making a permanent move?

Well, why not consider spending a year in Italy?

This family from the USA did just that. They loved the experience! We've heard from so many other people who have done the same sort of thing. We even shared the inspiring story of a grandmother from California, who left behind 5 kids and 10 grandchildren to spend time in Italy.

It is incredible what you can achieve... if you have the courage to follow your dreams.

It's the best thing you could ever do...

Living in a foreign country for a year can be one of the most enriching experiences you'll ever have. For starters, it helps you clear your mind and escape the cacophony of everyday life. Regardless of where you currently reside, whether it's Wichita, New York, New Delhi, or any other place, you often get caught up in local customs, societal expectations, and political dynamics.

Sometimes, amidst all the noise, you lose sight of your true self and what truly matters to you. I've been there myself. Engrossed in local matters, striving to meet the expectations of others, consumed by political affairs, and feeling the pressure to keep up with the latest material possessions.

However, spending a year in a different country allows you to regain perspective and reevaluate your priorities. It helps you realize how trivial and insignificant many of those things were. Don't just take my word for it—give it a try!

Here are twelve compelling reasons why Italy is THE choice for your escape:

Imagine waking up to Venice every morning?

What Happens When You Return Home?

Upon returning home, I guarantee you won't view things in the same way anymore. You'll find yourself feeling much calmer, at peace, and capable of shrugging off narrow-minded expectations and the anger of others.

However, here's the thing—you may discover that the life you left behind no longer satisfies you. I've experienced this myself, and I've heard countless similar stories. For instance, a dear friend of mine visited Positano from the UK and never went back.

Then there's the tale of a courageous mother of three boys who decided to leave her old life behind and start anew on the charming Cilento Coast in southern Italy. She described waking up one morning to the warm sunlight streaming through her shutters, the aroma of freshly brewed espresso, and the pleasant sound of Italians conversing beneath her balcony. This became her new home—a place where she could begin a fresh chapter as a wife and mother.

In many cases, what was initially intended as a year in Italy turns into a lifelong journey. Will this be the case for you? Unless you muster up the courage to start planning you will never know.
