Ciao tutti,
I've been spending the last two years starting my own online business from scratch, and I'm just starting to find my feet now. It's really exciting, because I have a business that I can take with me anywhere in the world.
For around a year now, my plan has been to move to Rome once my revenue can support it. I'm REALLY into ancient Roman culture and literature, and Rome is one of those places that I really want to get to know properly.
I was planning on just waiting until my revenue can support my renting a small apartment on my own. Although I love to socialise, I do love my solitude.
BUT, then I got thinking.
I'm a big believer in taking action before you're ready. And I'd really like to move out to Rome ASAP. I realised, if I can lodge for someone (a family perhaps?), then I'd be able to practise my Italian a LOT more, plus it'd be a lot easier to learn about the culture and find my feet.
Can anyone share some thoughts on this please?
What am I looking at - in terms of all basic living expenses - to live on my own in Rome?
How much would I be looking at to lodge with someone?
Has anyone got any experience with either? Or both?
This'll be the first time I've ever moved abroad.
Thanks.
Lewis
