Glenys' Rome & Beyond
Follow her adventures wherever she goes…Relocating to Italy
I belong in Italy!
I first came to Italy during my year with the European Tour of Hair – the musical. Upon landing in Europe I had known that I would one day move to Europe. Although I had returned to New York City afterwards, I honed my craft as a performer and eventually packed up my life and moved.
Most expats who move here quickly fall into similar patterns. Since they do not usually speak the language upon arrival, their first friends are almost always other English-speaking expats. Settling in also takes a chunk out of your bank account since it takes some time to learn where to save money. Moving is already a difficult endeavor. It is not necessary to do it alone.
These articles will help you avoid the usual pitfalls in order to save time, money and help you enjoy the Italian experience you dreamed of.
