Why I love living in Milan!! 🫶🏼🩷🇮🇹 I see a lotttt Why I love living in Milan!! 🫶🏼🩷🇮🇹

I see a lotttt of Milan slander online. And you know what…good. I can selfishly enjoy more of the city for myself. 🤣

I’m kidding (ish?). 

But seriously, I looove living in Milan. Here are some of my favorite reasons that make life in Milan dreamy. 🙌🏼

It’s a city I often think is misunderstood or not properly researched ahead of a visit. If you come here and all you did was snap a photo at the Duomo and then aimlessly walk around and get frustrated that there is nothing else to do or see, you missed the boat. 

Follow me as I will try to start sharing more about my life in Milan and what living in Milan looks like for me. 🫶🏼

🇮🇹How I Moved to Italy! (And Stayed!) In part 2 o 🇮🇹How I Moved to Italy! (And Stayed!)

In part 2 of this series I discuss what research you need to do for finding out your options for an Italian visa. While there are different pathways (marriage, job, study, etc) you need to pick what suits your life the best. 

I ultimately decided on an Italy study visa, BUT still had to decide which option. I was between getting an MBA or choosing an Italian language school. 

📌Save this post and follow along as the next episode I will dive into HOW I applied for the Italian visa. Hint: it was relatively “easy” but had some requirements you may not expect.
