Welcome on Unfolding Abruzzo, the expert-not-expert page about winging it in “Il Bel Paese”!
Are you dreaming of moving to Abruzzo? Have you bought a holiday home here, or do you think about retiring in this beautiful region? Maybe you are looking into applying for the brand new digital nomad visa that Italy is about to issue to people who work remotely?
This blog is the result of the ongoing string of weird and wonderful experiences you come across when you decide (shortly before turning 30) to sell all your belongings and start a new life in Italy. Fast forward a decade, the new life is not so new anymore. After countless adventures, struggles, joys and steep learning curves here I am today: Mother of two, proud owner of an olive grove, builder of a strawbale roundhouse, living in possibly one of the most beautiful places on earth, Abruzzo in Italy.
I am sharing what I have learned so far. So stay tuned for content about the pros and cons of buying property and living in Italy and stories of people who’ve done it. There will be tips and tricks how to boost your Italian language skills as well as mediterranean gardening hacks. Also, look forward to the occasional Italian cooking recipe and probably anything I wish I’d known myself before embarking on this journey.
Abruzzo. Forte e Gentile.
