Hi everyone,
I'm Riz. I live in Australia. I'm planning to move to Italy, but not sure in which location yet. I want to explore the country first as a tourist a few times, then maybe decide from there. I'm a nurse in Australia. Don't know what it's like to do nursing in Italy.

Ciao a tutti
My name is Andy, I'm a 19 year old au pair living in Gorgonzola, Milan (20 minutes away from the center) and I was hoping to meet other au pairs doing the same as what I am doing!
I'm studying italian (quite basic but improving) and I am originally from England, so English is my mother tongue.
Also if you would like any tutoring in English, I am welcome to help, as I need some extra money to help afford my travelling.

Feel free to drop me a message if you live close and want to meet up!

I'm now about to start up my own online boutique selling modern crochet home-decor. I also blog about my life and business, as well as design at hottitalianlife.com I'm in several groups on Facebook related to  expats in Italy and that helps with general questions as well as keeping a good vibe.

Hi Everyone! I am from Cape Town, living in Italy for a year now. I am married with a baby on the way and would love to connect with other South Africans or English speakers in general. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi everyone,

Basic intro:
I'm Ehi and I'll be moving briefly from Abuja to Torino for a short(-ish) professional course at the start of next year.

In other news:
I am a lawyer currently working in international development.
So, I'm also curious about accommodation types, transport services, and also the Latin dance scene around Turin.

Any useful tips would be appreciated.

Grazie,
E.

Hi everyone, I'm returning to Lecce end of October 2016 after coming back to California (San Francisco Bay Area) for a few months. Thinking of Thanksgiving and the possibility of getting together with English speaking expats for the occasion? (Or other times for meet ups?)
Yes, have found very few English speakers in Lecce other than the quick pass-through tourist in the warmer months. I am a retired senior with young views of our world. Open minded. Will be staying in the Porta Napoli area this time.

Hello! I live within the beatiful Smoky mountains of East Tennessee and have plans, Lord willing, to travel to Italy in early May of 2017. It's a dream I'd love to realize while I'm still walking and before I croak, whichever comes first. Hope to start off in Verona, where my ex was stationed while in the Army. Would love to communicate with folks, expats...living in that or surrounding areas. Thank you and looking forward to hearingfrom you!
