How to move to italy
It made me
Not look back!
 "I escaped the 9-5 and now live in the sunshine!"
How I did it: I planned the move quite a long time before actually coming over. In those 2 years I learned the language as best I could and travelled out to visit areas I was thinking of living in. I finally took the plunge, sold my house, left my job and drove my stuff over in a rented Luton van! I thought my son would find it hard at school and I would probably feel lonely at first and I was prepared for that and figured if I can get through the first 2 years, it will be so worthwhile. I was so wrong though. My son loves his school and has so many lovely friends. I have made friends and am too busy to be wondering what to do with my time. I can honestly say I haven't regretted it. I have been here two years now with my husband, son (11) and baby girl. We all absolutely love being here.
Lessons & tips: Learn the language before you come. I used Pimsleur CDs I got from the libruary and learned in the car on the way to work and walking to town in my lunch break. They were excellent and by far the best as I tried quite a few. Plan as best you can and then just go for it! I don't think there is ever a perfect time, you just have to jump in! Obviously if you can think of something you can do for money that helps! I did a TEFL course to teach and I still do that part time so it definately paid off.
Resources: Pimsleur Italian Course from the libruary. Download it onto your MP3 player. Doing a TEFL course provdes a handy way to make money when you're here.

I have decided that I would like to move to Italy and move around if I need to, but stay for an extended amount of time to experience tranquil, beautiful life for myself. The only problem is that I have a great job and I don’t want to throw away a great career…
