Hi, I'm Katie - I've just moved to Turin as part of my degree course. I'm here until June and just looking to meet some people in/around Turin who may like to go on weekend trips somewhere!

How do you like it in Turin? I've heard it is a fabulous, overlooked city. I am north of Milan an hour and a half.

It's really beautiful! That sounds great!

I suggest that you get out and about and you will meet people.

Hi all,

I've been here in Bari a couple of months, work's been really busy so I've only just had the opportunity to log on here.

Great first impressions of the place, really nice people, great food, lovely wine, I've managed to see a few sights so far but many more to see, when (if?) I have time.

About me? I seem to collect countries like people collect old cameras! I've lived in 8.

Hi there! I'll be visiting Italy for the Leopardi Writing Conference this summer, and I'm looking to connect with expats in Italy -- especially writers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Thanks!

Hello!

I'm Bella, Australian/Italian, living in Altamura, working in Bari - missing living in a multicultural society! I'd love to meet other foreigners, especially to go hiking

PM me if you feel the same way.

Hi,
I am Canadian, but also with Italian citizenship (Jus Sanguinis) through my mother and have living close relatives in the Lazio area whom I have visited fairly regularly over the past couple of years. I am seriously considering taking up permanent residence in Italy.

I speak a little Italian, am retired and my wife and myself live comfortably on our pension income. I am a lover of history, enjoy new technology, do some video editing as a hobby, we are both opera lovers and we do at least one European holiday a year. Our permanent home at present is in Western Canada, close to the mountains.

I would love to take my wife to at least one opera performance in the Caracalla, we have been to one in the colosseo of Verona. Then there remains many unexplored areas of Italy I would love to travel to, such as the Cinque Terre region, Fruili etc. The last region we explored was the Sicilian region in the East.

I will ask questions as I go along.

Hi I'm Kelvin from Singapore, currently living in Milan for close to 2 years now. Looking for people to network and hang out with. Perhaps if you're a sports person like me, we can organise a game of tennis as well. Feel free to hit me up!

Greetings,

My name is Elise - and I am recently (early) retired from the US government - and exploring places I might live/spend more time in during retirement - in the Mediterranean region.  I will spend more than six weeks staying in several places in southern Italy, including Lecce (where I arrive today), the Amalfi Coast area and Cilento (in Campagnia).  Would love to connect with expats in these places who could share stories and advice! 

Cheers,
Elise

Hi - Rhea here.  My husband and I have land in Abruzzo (near Atessa and Vasto).  It is a long term project to set up a residence there.  We have been learning slowly how to navigate all the Italian processes - not easy for sure!  Our next big things are to change the car registration and exchange an Irish driving license for an Italian one.  Wish us luck!

Hi everyone,
I'm Gisele from Australia 🇦🇺 moving to Milan in August on a working holiday visa and currently looking for a job. I don't speak any Italian and was wondering if it's possible to get a job without any knowledge of the language. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Ciao everyone,

My name is Carole and my husband been thinking of moving to Italy.  My husband is Italian by both his parents but I'm not, 

Frankly we don't really know where to start.  Do we rent or buy?  Where to settle down?  How about the health system in Italy, how is it?

What we absolutly have to avoid doing? and so on...

Do you think that you could give us some pointers?

I can't wait to read you.

Welcome, Carole

Unless you know the area why would you buy? I recommend visiting several areas that cater to your lifestyle. So rent first. Maybe take a trip out and visit?
