World of Antiquity I just LOVE that book. Incredible to think that such a wise and humble man was in such a position of power. His wisdom transcends time and culture and, astoundingly, holds as much relevance today as it did back then! 😊
I was in Italy for three months and was so disappointed when I had to leave. I would love to find a stable job there one day where I can get sponsored or enroll in school for a visa and live out my Italian dream! I love your videos. I look forward to watching all of them! Stay safe!
I am pleased that you enjoyed yourself so much while you were here, but remember that visiting a place (even for three months) is not like living there. Living in Italy can be difficult-there is very little work available here even for Italians.
@@michaeljohnangel6359 that sounds similar to hawai'i. there is little to no work here and locals work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. it's paradise for outsiders until they realize that majority of hawaiians and locals work to live and live to work... and don't live the paradise life 24/7.
Kylie you’re such a star for staying up all night in hopes of getting this video to us as promised. We would have understood if it didn’t happen but you persevered and we love you for it. Sitting down to eat breakfast and watch a new Kylie video - what a great way to start the day! ❤️☕️🥐
Brooke Oh would you believe that at 3am on the phone with AppleCare support I was actually thinking about YOUR comment on Instagram of wanting to watch it with your breakfast. It’s such a compliment to me when people schedule me into their day that I hate to be so inconsistent!!! 🤦🏼♀️👩🏼💻
Having been raised in Europe my favorite country to vacation in was Italy. I would enjoy seeing you "act" like a tourist and visit, and film, some of the sites of the cities you visit or live in. They all have so much history and beauty.
Dear beAutiful soul, you are the only true INFLUENSTER out there. Soo many people Try to do that but don' t have your talent and natural but also cultivated ability to inspire, motivate and actually teach. THANK YOU!😋🥰ALL THE BEST
I like how you divvy your finances out. Most people just spend as much as they can on everything but you save the most for your home environment, eat fresh foods & bicycle. The thoughtful choices you make are so healthy & make complete sense!
You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
OMG, I can sooooooo relate when you talk about the costs of going out with friends! This is years ago now, but I used to hate that I ate something simple, no drinks, but still had to pay for a (for me, considering) gigantic bill divided up evenly. And I was upset not because I was strapped for cash, but because I didn’t think it fair to have to pay for something I didn’t consume. And nobody gave it a second thought. Now that may make me a scrooge (which I don’t think I am), if yes, so be it.
The Sistine Chapel, Michael Angelo’s David, The Coliseum, Capri, Napoli, The Spanish Steps, The Trevi Fountain, The Costa Liguria, The canals of Venice, The Tuscan Country Side, The Blue Grotto, Gelato, The Bellini, and the lovely Kylie Flavell. Sigh.......
Dont mention the canals of Venice as a marker of excellence. Admit it for what it is - polluted and trashy. As soon as that can be admitted, we can start working on fixing it.
YES, on how to dress in Italy👌 And I absolutely love this little series on moving to Italy. So very usefull and as always, beautifully made and surperb editing. Loving the ambiance, music and colours. Thank you so much, Kylie🌸🌹
Beautiful as always Kylie! I am an American youtuber /filmmaker living in France but I am moving to the island of Corsica in a few months and I am so excited to learn Italian as I’ve heard Corsica is closely connected to Italy!! Italy is my absolute favorite country and It’s so close to Corsica. I’m hoping to make many trips to your beautiful country and eat all the delicious food - thank you for all the real and honest tips on cost of living!
Pasquale Paoli, called "Homeland's father" by Corsicans, wrote in 1768: "We (Corsicans) are Italians by birth and feelings, but first of all we feel Italian by language, roots, customs, traditions and all the Italians are all brothers for History and for God.... As Corsicans we do not want to be slaves nor "rebels" and as Italians we have the right to be treated like all the other Italian brothers.... Either we'll be free or we'll be nothing.... Either we'll win or we'll die (against the French) with our weapons in our hands...."
I am sorry to inform you that Corso in not Italian , it was a dialect and now it is considered a separate language with its own characteristics , the language is not alive and well , most children do not learn corso as a first language and you will have no peer pressure to learn it, an Italian would have some hardship understanding corso at his first exposure to the language , obviously it is very close to Italian , but you'll never learn it just by living in Corsica since even new generations of Corse people don't know it and had to learn it at school .Basically the corse language is kept alive for cultural reasons , and it's like Irish gaelic
Thank you so much for this series. I am old enough to be your mother but still find your experience so inspiring. I am at a point in life where, for so many years now, it's as if I have no life; I'm not even living. I spent two weeks in rural Southern Italy house-hunting in 2018 and have been obsessed with moving there and creating a new beautiful life ever since. For me, my biggest fear is being older and not having - or knowing how - to create an independent online source of income. Your videos are so lovely and you are such a charming, beautiful, and gentle soul. I once wanted to be a writer, and wrote poetry. I've lost all the things I once loved: literature, poetry, flowers, nature, books, art; all of these have been lost to an endless grind of soul-sucking meaningless work, crime and endless wildfire smoke, traffic and worse, here in California. I actually hate it here so much! Anyway, you remind me of a younger version of myself, when I was full of dreams and hope. All the best to you, Kylie.
When I was 16 my uncle was stationed in Italy and flew me out for Christmas break , at the time I didn’t know I had a toxic mental abuser of a boyfriend .. he called everyday of my trip to tell me how much of a shitty gf I was for leaving the country and enjoying my self while he had to stay back in the u.s ... I tried so hard to enjoy that trip and really embrace everything .. I fell in love with Italy but couldn’t really enjoy it the way I should’ve .. looking back at it now as a adult I had a once in a life time experience as a 16 year old American and I let a dumb boy ruin it 🥴 seeing your videos help me remember things on the trip I may have forgotten because I was too sad. Now I can not wait to take my amazing husband to Italy who is also military😆 and change my whole experience ❤️✨
I always respect and appreciate foreigners who come to Italy and fall in love with the beauty of the country. This is a big contrast with many italians who are always negative and often disrespectful towards their country because they take all the good things for granted.
Hi Kylie! I NEVER comment under any RUclips videos, but I've been watching your videos and following you on Instagram for such a long time, and you deserve all the love and support for your beautiful and gentle and honest content! I lived in Florence for a few months last year before I headed to college, and I still think of Florence as I think of an old lover (longingly)... I was wondering if you could talk to us a bit about socializing in Italy? How did you find friends after you arrived? I feel like it's a challenge for expats not to stay in the 'foreigner-circles', so I was curious about your experiences with that. Thank you so much for your hard work and beautiful art Kylie, it is so appreciated!
Morghan Welt Hello dear Morghan, thank you for taking the time to comment. It’s sometimes hard dealing with hate and negative comments so I really appreciate your effort to support me with such kind words. I will certainly make a video about this topic. I have mentioned it a little in some of the videos I made a few years ago that you should be able to find under the How To Move To Italy Playlist. 😘
Hi Morghan, as an Italian who used to live in the UK (meaning, fluent in English and happy to stay in touch with non-Italians as often as I can), I'm so pleased by your approach and your desire to reach out to Italians! I live in Rome and know quite a few expat groups who are very open to Italians joining in, resulting in very heterogeneous groups. Quite a few romances have resulting from this, too - between the expats and Italians.
I would love to see a video about the fashion in Italy! I really love to shop sustainably and buy locally! When I visit Italy next spring, I would love to know some authentic options! thank you so much for all the time and hard work you put into these videos! just wanted to let you know that we all appreciate it 💕
I have absolutely ZERO interest in moving to Italy, but I always watch your videos from start to finish because they are so beautifully filmed and edited. Not to offend any Italians....you have a beautiful country but my own country (Ireland) is pretty spectacular too!
Hi Kylie just discovered your Channel all the way from here in Africa ! I’m a busy Tanzanian Mom of 3 sons currently living in Angola-Africa (and I adore your vlogs). Stay as beautiful as you are! Keep up the hard work to entertain and educate us of other countries across the world especially during this pandemic when everyone is going through a tough time across this universe! Bravo Pretty Lady ❤️. Asante Sana !!
Kylie Flavell always my pleasure to support wonderful and dedicated channels like yours Kylie ❤️Hope you are keeping safe! Goodnight From me here in Africa gorgeous
Lovely slice of life as always. When I was about to move countries, I found it oddly comforting in the process of sorting out all of the logistical aspects of my new life. It's of course challenging, but in a way there's a blue-print for it, I knew I could get an apartment/cell phone/health insurance sorted eventually, but I really struggled building a social life from scratch, and I appreciate how open you've been with your experience. I can't believe I haven't found your videos sooner-the algorithm is really doing a disservice. Avec amour de Paris!
The style and the moving of the camera shows that Under Tuscan Sun has inspired/shaped your life choice. Talk about breakfast choices in Italy is fantastic. I have finished my postgraduate studies in Turin and Pavia. Enjoy your life and wish you all the best.
Brava Kylie! You are a life teacher. These videos are an informative visual gift-- you inform & inspire! You would be an amazing lifestyle consultant for expats relocating to Italy 🇮🇹.You could make a foreigner feel prepared and comfortable and still preserve the native Italian culture by helping expats respect and assimilate into an elegant Italo/European way of life.💋
Your choice of music for the video is outstanding balance of harmony and abeinace. I've been to Sydney Australia also lovely place. Your a heck of a young lady. Thanks for sharing your life and times with those that watch your channel. Outstanding job.
Oh yes please a Video about Dressing Right to not stick out😍 I’m going to Italy in a few weeks and I love to feel like I am a part of the country and it’s people. ☺️
That's the biggest mistake! Please PLEASE dress like you normally do! You turists attempt to look like a local but the results are cringey, for some reason people have an idea of Italian style that comes from old movies and is so outdated. Ffs please DON'T WEAR POLKA DOTS 😂😂😂
How about just being your perfect, authentic self, instead of a poor copy of someone else? Just a thought. It will also help you to meet a better kind of person who values genuineness over superficiality. To make a "Bella figura" in Italy, or anywhere, means more than superficial, surface appearances. I spend half of each year in southern Italy and this has worked well for me, for years. And besides-I definitely don't share the southern fashion sensibilities, which I find incredibly tacky.
Oh well I’m sorry about the misunderstanding! And i thank you for your advise and concern. I didn’t mean it like I said it. Should have taken a minute longer to make my self more clearly. I don’t want to copy. For me it’s more about inspiration and i know that Kylie has incredibly good taste so I would simply love a video about fashion from her. Especially since she was in the making of a clothing line I believe. I am from Europe myself. Germany and my father is half Italian. I know the Tourists who try to „copy“ but I see it more as a compliment for the German woman and men and their more typical fashion style. And to be honest who doesn’t love to feel apart of something? :) I am in Italy myself right now. And i just really admire the Italian woman and girls and how some put such a nice effort in to their appearance. I want to take more effort in how I present myself to make me feel my best self. And i take inspiration from them. And Thats what it’s all about, isn’t it ? Inspiration and then the Motivation to be our best selfs for ourselves! I love myself and I want every woman and men to love themselves! Oh and i thank you for your advise: that It will help me find someone that’s not superficial;) you are quit right and I am lucky to have found someone that loves the true me! And i am happy for you if you found the same. And yes the Bella figura is not much about appearance and more about how you carry your self and how you take care of yourself! Well I just wanted to convey what I truly meant a little better. The comment above was written in a hurry and in utter excitement that Kylie might do a fashion video. So I excuse myself and thank you for your advise/ concern again :)
I love your videos Kylie! I love your kind and sweet soul! I discovered your channel only a few weeks ago and I found myself crying and laughing together many times, feeling you so close to my spirit and my way of perceiving the magic of life! So much joy to you! Grazie mille per condividere la bellezza in ogni sua sfumatura... un abbraccio dalle colline di Fiesole, Eleonora!
Eleonora Giovannini Wow, thank you sweet Eleonora!! I’m so glad you feel connected to my work. It’s such a rewarding thing for me to read after being up all night debating with AppleCare about my troublesome computer! 😴🤪🙏
I was surprised to see Florence much lower than Milano in the Cost of Living list! I imagined the opposite. Stayed in both around 5 yrs ago, would love to spend more time in Tuscany!
Stoped my life to watch yours with pleasure. Made coffee and watched the video and it felt like I was there with you.☕️😎 Yes, to the dressing, please .
I've started getting the urge to move to Italy about 2-3 times every week recently. When you compare that life, simple or less simple, to what we have in North America's cosmopolitan cities: crazy cost of housing, no soil that comes with it. Versus in Italy you can grow things practically anywhere, land is a quarter of the price with 5x more area for the dollar, the soil is fertile. It seems insane that North Americans keep living like we do, with all our vegetables designed and grown for "shelf life" instead of "life". If you become rich you can buy a detached home in SF, Seattle, New York, etc. But those are rare odds. Want to know what's far higher odds? Your odds of learning Italian, or French, or Spanish, or Greek and enjoying the simple life in the Mediterranean.
Wonderful Kylie! Thank you for sharing the precious memories of your Mummy with us - she was so beautiful on the outside and clearly on the inside too. Really enjoyed this film and yes it would be good to know how to 'blend in' clothes wise Italian style - I always wear too much black! Keep safe and hope you are well and happy x
Thank you for making your post personal and pragmatic. I've been working on Italian citizenship for more than five years and have lost heart more than once. I qualify through my grandparents. Moving to Italy is still a dream. I watched with great interest your interview with the avvacato from Firenze. This is helpful content...... keep at it. Salute
Kylie, love your efforts you are comprehensive. Most of all you teach that if you want something badly enough, you teach how to go after what you want in life. That it can be done and here’s what it will take. You seem to live a charmed life ...but not without major effort, that if can be had. Most of this comes from from knowing oneself and then you provide the know how. You’re an inspiration... On a side note, have you given any though to, if it is not to much hassle to helping students learning Italian for you to sub-title in Italian as you speak. I follow you on RUclips and Instagram. You are a beautiful individual and I hope you reach all your goals...Gene
Kylie Flavell I also wanted to know if you have any idea about the hairstylist there and what kind of licensing they need? I’m not sure if you would know that but I’ve been considering doing hair in Italy 🇮🇹 thank you for all the great information you give in your videos.
Beautytrends77 I don’t know anything about licensing and stuff. But do know that most stylists in small towns only know one basic thing for long hair and thats cutting it a straight line. They do an absolutely wonderful job but I think if you don’t have any ‘conpetition’ you could be a big hit. Especially with the ‘older’ ladies they most of the time get their hair done almost every week.
Thank you Kylie I love to live in Italy all my life. I am from Quebec your 3 videos about living in Italy has been so helpful. My passion is cooking, travelling and helping people. Love all your videos I have lived in Australia and Asia and my husband is Greek and a photographer loves your videos. Thank you again.
with the pandemic and being limited with travel because of border closures, i dream of traveling... once this is over i really want to move overseas in france even its for 1 month... as of now im studying my french while i'm at home. thanks for this beautiful video. your videos now especially have been a nice escape
I really enjoy your material here on youtube. Very little in common, being about become retired with a loosely formulated plan to move to Italy and play chess at a small piazza, smoking my pipe and having yet another doppio macciato or glass of wine, but still your info and photage is just so good. Thanks ever so much 😊👍
Please PLEASE don't do the "dress as an Italian" thing. Turists come to our country dressing like an old movie character and they believe we dress like that,with polka dot dresses and straw hats. It's so cringey and fake and you can be spotted from far away! Just dress like you normally do!!
@@Angie2Pink We should suggest men, to DON'T wear gym clothes basketball tank shirts (unless you aren't in a gym or running)... and don't wear baseball caps. No one uses them, in Italy.
I think a video on not sticking out would be great. I love your videos! They are informative and absolutely a visual delight. I love that your genuine personality shines through.
Kylie, I've only recently discovered you online and I'm blown away by your stunning films. You are incredibly generous in all the insight you provide and you're giving this fellow Australian hope that my Italian dream is still within reach (although Crazy Corona has put it temporarily on hold). Mwah!
Kylie, you are so professional the way you film your videos. But more importantly you are interesting and have a lovely voice to listen to. Your information is so well put across. Looove the scenery in your videos! and the music! I am now constantly singing Dean Martin's In Napoli! 🇮🇹🌳🌴🌻🏵🌹🍕🏖 Thank you for all your amazing efforts.x 😊
Thank you Kylie for these videos. I moved to northern Tuscany 9 years ago. I made the move alone, which is courageous as I'm a woman, and since then I have settled in. But even now, my Italian isn't so great because I stay home a lot. I'm 72 haha with a very youthful spirit. But I do get out and travel when I can. For a few years I taught English to Italians, and I have bought an ancient stone house that I renovated. So no rent anymore. Yay! But I don't have money to spare. I am on a tight "pensione" budget. I have a few Italian friends, but they are younger and have young families, so our lifestyles are different. I don't like hanging out with other expats much. My apologies to all. I have one couple I'm friends with from the UK and are my age who have a house here and have been coming to Italy for most of their lives. But we only get together a few times a year. Anyway, your videos make me realize what an enormous transition I have achieved at my age. Like you, I have traveled the world most of my life, but Italy called to me. And I have never wanted to leave Italy since I've arrived. I have an adult son with a wife and two grandchildren in California who I see once or twice a year (I do the traveling, not this year though). Anyway, I think a well-thought-out adventure at any stage in life is worth the risk and the challenging times that may come with it. God bless you. Keep up your excellent work.
its always a pleasure watching you, your so real and true to your word, its such a beautiful thing to see. I will probably never get to Italy but im enjoying your experience you share. thank you sweet lady.. 🌸✨💚
Sorry I’m italian e the coffee doesn’t cost 80 ( probably some years ago) cent but 1 euro ,more like 1.50 in art cities like Venetia, Rome, Florence etc.😅😅
I love your honesty and thoroughness of this video. You go over all those little things we may not have even considered but are so important and great to know. Thank you for taking the time xo
Sticking out as a tourist in Italy. Ah. Sometimes you could see American tourists in North Italy in April wandering in t-shirts and shorts... Fortunately Internet has reduced this kind of issue. I'd like a video on how Italians stick out abroad as foreigners also!
Hello Kylie, I'm really enjoying learning about Italy and especially enjoyed your video from Positano. So beautiful there! You have a gentle spirit and a nice energy about you. Always inspiring, someone who follows their dream!!
24:45. I've already become a huge fan, but I think it is so beautiful that you are not speaking to a specifically young audience. You are such a gem. I love your energy and am really appreciating what you are sharing.
I have to just thank you for this video. The amount of time and effort you devote to making not only beautiful, but QUALITY content is so appreciated on this end. So much detail and clarity - the investment in your work does not go unnoticed. Thank you so much! Much love.
So wonderful to hear your experience through your beautiful content, thank you for sharing and in such a genuine manner. I’m looking into moving to Italy with my husband and two young boys. All your tips help more then you know.
Kylie, thanks for this mini series! So helpful! I would personally love to see you upload a video on how to blend in as a female and not seem as a foreigner. ❤️
So glad I joined . It’s so great to see it all ! I’m moving in 2 and a bit years and so appreciate everything you have commented on -incredibly useful 🥰
I am glad it was your computer that had problem and not you. I honestly got worried but so happy to hear your beautiful soothing voice. I love your sense of honesty. 💚
Hi Kylie, do you have a video of the reasons/ journey behind moving to Italy and what/ where you've been during your years there? It would be great to hear a whole story from the beginning to now :)
Informative as always. I am very interested in fashion advice. I do like the stylish Italian looks but for men it is hard to know the simplest and best ways to dress when in Europe. I am in New Zealand and like Australia we tend to be casual/sloppy/comfortable but it is hard to find Italian (or French) style advice because people who know tend to be in the business of selling $3,000 suits and $900 shoes so advice where the advisor isn't trying to sell you something would be welcomed.
I found your channel a few days ago and love how informative and natural the content is!!! It also reminds me the days I lived in Venezia. Looking forward to seeing you cook with Italians at home😁
I love the fact that you are living as a local, not going eating out every night because you know that you can find really good products at the local market. Italians really love cooking, try to learn how to cook some local dish! Hope you’ll enjoy Italy!
You have come a long way Kylie, when I first saw your vlog I thought I know this girl and then I remembered from the food Chanel I think when Patrick loved Kylie ??? Anyway I’m thrilled for your success and you have obviously worked very hard to get where you are now.....congrats......Donna in Toronto
Brava, Kylie! I'm British and have lived and worked in Florence for more than 30 years. I'm 74 (poverino che sono!!) and know very well that what you say on this video about Italy is excellent and true. Brava davvero!!!!! Complimenti!
New to your Chanel. Very detailed and informative. Not planning on living there, but when I visit, I will be ready. I am happy I am subscribed to you. I love the background music. And love the pictures of the sites you included.. Have a beautiful Saturday. Thanks from New Jersey USA!
Ciao Kylie, I just discovered your channel and omg thank you so much for sharing your experience and all the useful info in such a beautiful and inspiring way. ❤I finally decided to move to Milan from London and can't wait to live la dolce vita and enjoy my time in this lovely country. All the best, Marta ✨
Love the video! I am not planning a move to Italy but to Brasil. The best part of the video imo is when you talk about mental health. Even a strange and stable mind needs it. Subscribed 💪🏼😎
I was surprised to see your video here at 5am when I awoke. Then I learn you stayed awake late to deliver to your subscribers. Early this year we had a tile cutter doing work for us. He was born in Italy & still has family in Rome & Jesi. My city Edmonton is more expensive than most Italian cities. We love Italy but my wife would never leave our daughter (your age) or son behind. Your channel is informative and you are a talented videographer & editor. You will marry a handsome Italian & have a bunch of kids who call you mama. Very delightful presentation! Thank you kindly, Kylie. Live a happy life in a dreamy place!
Like you Kylie, I have a Greek mother (and father) and they both taught me how to save which has stood me in good stead my entire life. They also gave me access to a European passport for which I am eternally grateful.
Hi Kylie Just discovered your wonderful videos series and I am loving watching them! I love your views of life and also your practicality. I especially love your grace and aesthetic . Thank you so much for doing what you do. 💖
If you every get the chance swing over to Malta. My dad was born in Valetta and I've made a few trips from Sydney it's a very long trip!! My mother is Italian, born in Australia and her parents were from Brescia. I can relate very much to how you feeling living in Italy. Visiting Malta, usually 8 weeks at a time, I'd come back to Sydney and for the first month or so people just seemed to walk so much faster than me when they got off the train to go to work! I'd think to myself ....wow.....this was me before my holiday!! You can only fully emerse your self only when you truly want to!!Its been 15yrs since my last trip!! Time for another trip I think. Wishing you the best. Kind Regards Karen.
Kylie, I love your videos and your spirit. You are doing good work in this world. Please keep shining because your videos are helping me through this time.
@@KylieFlavell just reached the end of the video and I also really appreciate that you touched on therapy! Mental health is also so so important when you're living abroad. Lovely video. I'm excited for the next one!
Thank you very much for another beautiful and honest video. When I was student (and also later in life ;) I used that same "trick" of saying that I had a bit of a stomach problem in order to avoid an expensive bill for dinner. Always felt kind of weird for using that false excuse, now I feel much better :D And on another note: Your mum looks incredibly young (and beautiful)!
Jasmin Skau Oh really?! That makes me feel much better! Part of the reason is that I didn’t want to spoil the fun for others and make them feel bad for me when ordering multiple courses if I just ordered a soup and a glass of water. 😂
Jasmin Skau , you girls are funny, because if I was with a person who said they had a stomach issue, I would lose my appetite for fear I would catch the stomach virus that’s quite contagious! I’ve had people at a dinner party say they’re not going to order anything except for example soup, and I am never offended by that. Each person has his or her own reason. Similarly if I’m not going to drink alcohol, I would respectfully tell the crowd that I don’t mind splitting the bill for food and appetizers but because I don’t drink , to please remove my portion from the drink bill. It’s too bad that we always feel judged!
@@eileenchang2173 I completely agree with your point that it would be better to just be honest, but I remember that especially in situations where I did not really know the majority of the people, I did not want to be the one complicating things. It's probably not so much a question of offending anyone, but more not feeling like the "odd one out" in a culture that you might not yet be familiar with. I guess today I would not feel bad anymore to just ask for a separate bill, but back then it felt easier that way.
OMG your videos are so nice. Thank you for live in Italy and be part of the golden sunshine that our lovely country give us. You really catch the essence of living la Dolce Vita in the most positive way. Sei adorabile e tutti i millenials dovrebbero prendere esempio
Hi, I find your videos about about moving to Italy so insightful. Thank you for all the information. I currently moved to Australia and I am thinking of moving to Italy in the near future and your videos are so good and giving me so many tips for my next journey. Thank you Kylie!
I have no intention of moving to Italy (unfortunately.. although I often fantasize about it ::sigh::) but you still managed to get me to watch 3 whole videos about it lol Your work is so beautiful and so inspiring. Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your art, and for taking me back to those beautiful little streets that I dream to return to!
the cost of living in rome is super high if you compare it with the local wage. the monthly cost of an apartment in Rome equals an avarage net wage, as a matter of fact most people who live in the city either inherit their home, or live in the suburbs outside the main urban area. I live in Rome, the cost of a rent monthly is above 900€, the minimum wage is 3€ per hour, and the avarage wage is 1300€, you can reach 1900€ at the end of your career. The economy is very bad and this has huge repercussions on the job market, on infrastructure and public transportation which is particularly bad if you compare it to other european cities.
Kylie, I absolutely love your videos! You have such a sweet soul and it makes my day to listen to your beautifully told stories. I’m in the process of getting my Italian dual citizenship and your videos motivate me so much! Thank you for sharing, and maybe once I move to Italy we’ll be able to connect! Ciao for now!
Love your videos. It would also be interesting to do an episode on how to meet locals, integrate well and avoid loneliness when living in a foreign country.
Back in 2003 I watched the romantic movie Under the Tuscan Sun and I loved it, the plot, the actors.. everything, the film location was in Tuscany, such a beautiful and romantic place. I love Italy in general. Since then, and after watching Kylie's videos with more details, I fell in love that place and I'm planning to travel there one day. By the way I recommend you to watch that movie. 🙂 Anyway, thank you Kylie for creating and sharing these beautiful videos with us, you are awesome as always. Take care! 👍
So helpful and interesting to hear the differences of living in Italy compared to other locations! Things like fast internet we take for granted in many places and these utilities add up quickly! It's really admirable that you've thrown yourself so completely into a new culture and I truly appreciate your vulnerability in sharing the pros & cons of challenging yourself this way. I love traveling alone because it makes us stronger and more independent women and I can't wait to be able to see Italy some day! This year has been quite a difficult one so these videos have been a wonderful ray of sunshine. You're amazing - take care!!! 💕💕
As an ancient historian, I loved that your example of an Audible audio book was Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Great book!
World of Antiquity I just LOVE that book. Incredible to think that such a wise and humble man was in such a position of power. His wisdom transcends time and culture and, astoundingly, holds as much relevance today as it did back then! 😊
@@KylieFlavell Definitely. It's rare to get something so personal in an ancient work, much less a Roman emperor! There is something soothing about it.
@@KylieFlavell dovresti leggere "Le Memorie di Adriano" della scrittrice di Marguerite Yourcenar
I was in Italy for three months and was so disappointed when I had to leave. I would love to find a stable job there one day where I can get sponsored or enroll in school for a visa and live out my Italian dream! I love your videos. I look forward to watching all of them! Stay safe!
I am pleased that you enjoyed yourself so much while you were here, but remember that visiting a place (even for three months) is not like living there. Living in Italy can be difficult-there is very little work available here even for Italians.

@@michaeljohnangel6359 that sounds similar to hawai'i. there is little to no work here and locals work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. it's paradise for outsiders until they realize that majority of hawaiians and locals work to live and live to work... and don't live the paradise life 24/7.
Kylie you’re such a star for staying up all night in hopes of getting this video to us as promised. We would have understood if it didn’t happen but you persevered and we love you for it. Sitting down to eat breakfast and watch a new Kylie video - what a great way to start the day! ❤️☕️🥐
Brooke Oh would you believe that at 3am on the phone with AppleCare support I was actually thinking about YOUR comment on Instagram of wanting to watch it with your breakfast. It’s such a compliment to me when people schedule me into their day that I hate to be so inconsistent!!! 🤦🏼♀️👩🏼💻
@@KylieFlavell Kylie, when ever you post a video were your fans I don't mind waiting it will be worth it.
Kylie, I just love your videos. My wife and I have been to Italy twice. Her mother was from Pesaro. One cousin, Claudia, lives in Rome.
Having been raised in Europe my favorite country to vacation in was Italy. I would enjoy seeing you "act" like a tourist and visit, and film, some of the sites of the cities you visit or live in. They all have so much history and beauty.
Dear beAutiful soul, you are the only true INFLUENSTER out there. Soo many people Try to do that but don' t have your talent and natural but also cultivated ability to inspire, motivate and actually teach. THANK YOU!😋🥰ALL THE BEST
Karolina Eigenmacht This is such a compassionate thing to write. Thank you for making me feel so appreciated.
I like how you divvy your finances out. Most people just spend as much as they can on everything but you save the most for your home environment, eat fresh foods & bicycle. The thoughtful choices you make are so healthy & make complete sense!
Your parents must be amazingly proud of such a unique, hard working, resilent and beautiful daughter.x 😊
Beverley Roberts You’re so sweet, Beverley. ♥️

The audacity of NY having such high cappuccino prices when the coffee doesn't even taste good
NY is the most over-rated place on planet earth. I know I have lived here my entire life 55 years!
Here in Italy tastes better
Nothing to do with the quality of the coffee and everything to do with the rent....but I get the humor...
You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?

OMG, I can sooooooo relate when you talk about the costs of going out with friends! This is years ago now, but I used to hate that I ate something simple, no drinks, but still had to pay for a (for me, considering) gigantic bill divided up evenly. And I was upset not because I was strapped for cash, but because I didn’t think it fair to have to pay for something I didn’t consume. And nobody gave it a second thought. Now that may make me a scrooge (which I don’t think I am), if yes, so be it.
The Sistine Chapel, Michael Angelo’s David, The Coliseum, Capri, Napoli, The Spanish Steps, The Trevi Fountain, The Costa Liguria, The canals of Venice, The Tuscan Country Side, The Blue Grotto, Gelato, The Bellini, and the lovely Kylie Flavell. Sigh.......
Who's Micheal Angelo? The brother of Raffa Ello?
And Brother di Leo Nardo Vinci tore
Dont mention the canals of Venice as a marker of excellence. Admit it for what it is - polluted and trashy. As soon as that can be admitted, we can start working on fixing it.

YES, on how to dress in Italy👌
And I absolutely love this little series on moving to Italy. So very usefull and as always, beautifully made and surperb editing. Loving the ambiance, music and colours. Thank you so much, Kylie🌸🌹
Lumifish 😘😘😘😘
Wow some very good looking girls around here haha
I'm addicted to watching your videos because I went to live in Italy, including Florence, aged 21/22 as a student in 1988! Miss it so much!!
Beautiful as always Kylie! I am an American youtuber /filmmaker living in France but I am moving to the island of Corsica in a few months and I am so excited to learn Italian as I’ve heard Corsica is closely connected to Italy!! Italy is my absolute favorite country and It’s so close to Corsica. I’m hoping to make many trips to your beautiful country and eat all the delicious food - thank you for all the real and honest tips on cost of living!
Simple Joys thank you!!! Yes, I imagine life on Corsica will be very similar to many of the Italian islands nearby! 😘
Pasquale Paoli, called "Homeland's father" by Corsicans, wrote in 1768:
"We (Corsicans) are Italians by birth and feelings, but first of all we feel Italian by language, roots, customs, traditions and all the Italians are all brothers for History and for God.... As Corsicans we do not want to be slaves nor "rebels" and as Italians we have the right to be treated like all the other Italian brothers.... Either we'll be free or we'll be nothing.... Either we'll win or we'll die (against the French) with our weapons in our hands...."
I live in Italy and love France very much
I am sorry to inform you that Corso in not Italian , it was a dialect and now it is considered a separate language with its own characteristics , the language is not alive and well , most children do not learn corso as a first language and you will have no peer pressure to learn it, an Italian would have some hardship understanding corso at his first exposure to the language , obviously it is very close to Italian , but you'll never learn it just by living in Corsica since even new generations of Corse people don't know it and had to learn it at school .Basically the corse language is kept alive for cultural reasons , and it's like Irish gaelic
@@Caleidus YEa h in 1768 now they speak French and act like French , they didn't die and they are almost completely Frenchified
Thank you so much for this series. I am old enough to be your mother but still find your experience so inspiring. I am at a point in life where, for so many years now, it's as if I have no life; I'm not even living. I spent two weeks in rural Southern Italy house-hunting in 2018 and have been obsessed with moving there and creating a new beautiful life ever since. For me, my biggest fear is being older and not having - or knowing how - to create an independent online source of income. Your videos are so lovely and you are such a charming, beautiful, and gentle soul. I once wanted to be a writer, and wrote poetry. I've lost all the things I once loved: literature, poetry, flowers, nature, books, art; all of these have been lost to an endless grind of soul-sucking meaningless work, crime and endless wildfire smoke, traffic and worse, here in California. I actually hate it here so much! Anyway, you remind me of a younger version of myself, when I was full of dreams and hope. All the best to you, Kylie.
When I was 16 my uncle was stationed in Italy and flew me out for Christmas break , at the time I didn’t know I had a toxic mental abuser of a boyfriend .. he called everyday of my trip to tell me how much of a shitty gf I was for leaving the country and enjoying my self while he had to stay back in the u.s ... I tried so hard to enjoy that trip and really embrace everything .. I fell in love with Italy but couldn’t really enjoy it the way I should’ve .. looking back at it now as a adult I had a once in a life time experience as a 16 year old American and I let a dumb boy ruin it 🥴 seeing your videos help me remember things on the trip I may have forgotten because I was too sad. Now I can not wait to take my amazing husband to Italy who is also military😆 and change my whole experience ❤️✨
I always respect and appreciate foreigners who come to Italy and fall in love with the beauty of the country. This is a big contrast with many italians who are always negative and often disrespectful towards their country because they take all the good things for granted.
Hi Kylie! I NEVER comment under any RUclips videos, but I've been watching your videos and following you on Instagram for such a long time, and you deserve all the love and support for your beautiful and gentle and honest content! I lived in Florence for a few months last year before I headed to college, and I still think of Florence as I think of an old lover (longingly)... I was wondering if you could talk to us a bit about socializing in Italy? How did you find friends after you arrived? I feel like it's a challenge for expats not to stay in the 'foreigner-circles', so I was curious about your experiences with that. Thank you so much for your hard work and beautiful art Kylie, it is so appreciated!
Morghan Welt Hello dear Morghan, thank you for taking the time to comment. It’s sometimes hard dealing with hate and negative comments so I really appreciate your effort to support me with such kind words. I will certainly make a video about this topic. I have mentioned it a little in some of the videos I made a few years ago that you should be able to find under the How To Move To Italy Playlist. 😘
Hi Morghan, as an Italian who used to live in the UK (meaning, fluent in English and happy to stay in touch with non-Italians as often as I can), I'm so pleased by your approach and your desire to reach out to Italians! I live in Rome and know quite a few expat groups who are very open to Italians joining in, resulting in very heterogeneous groups. Quite a few romances have resulting from this, too - between the expats and Italians.
@@KylieFlavell your way of articulate the life in Italy makes me intriguied I admire you ❤
2 things to say... 1. You are a good soul, Kylie. 2. Your mother raised you right. God bless you.
Night Sky 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Loving the music you’re adding to your videos. Listening for hours each day, while working from home. Can’t wait to travel again.
I would love to see a video about the fashion in Italy! I really love to shop sustainably and buy locally! When I visit Italy next spring, I would love to know some authentic options! thank you so much for all the time and hard work you put into these videos! just wanted to let you know that we all appreciate it 💕
I have absolutely ZERO interest in moving to Italy, but I always watch your videos from start to finish because they are so beautifully filmed and edited. Not to offend any Italians....you have a beautiful country but my own country (Ireland) is pretty spectacular too!
Jen & Zen 😊😊😊 thank you for watching Jen. I would actually LOVE to film in Ireland!
Lol Jen, Ireland is great, but it's apples and oranges... and Italy is like a million times richer culturally and historically (to my knowledge)
Oh wow no one asked for your opinion haha
Hi Kylie just discovered your Channel all the way from here in Africa ! I’m a busy Tanzanian Mom of 3 sons currently living in Angola-Africa (and I adore your vlogs). Stay as beautiful as you are! Keep up the hard work to entertain and educate us of other countries across the world especially during this pandemic when everyone is going through a tough time across this universe! Bravo Pretty Lady ❤️. Asante Sana !!
LaineeDiana Webb Wow! Thank you so much for making time for me in your busy schedule! Sending love to Tanzania!! ♥️♥️♥️
Kylie Flavell always my pleasure to support wonderful and dedicated channels like yours Kylie ❤️Hope you are keeping safe! Goodnight From me here in Africa gorgeous
Lovely slice of life as always. When I was about to move countries, I found it oddly comforting in the process of sorting out all of the logistical aspects of my new life. It's of course challenging, but in a way there's a blue-print for it, I knew I could get an apartment/cell phone/health insurance sorted eventually, but I really struggled building a social life from scratch, and I appreciate how open you've been with your experience. I can't believe I haven't found your videos sooner-the algorithm is really doing a disservice. Avec amour de Paris!
Jo's Not Home Yes, I’m exactly the same. Thank you so much for your kind response. 🙏
The style and the moving of the camera shows that Under Tuscan Sun has inspired/shaped your life choice. Talk about breakfast choices in Italy is fantastic. I have finished my postgraduate studies in Turin and Pavia. Enjoy your life and wish you all the best.
Brava Kylie! You are a life teacher. These videos are an informative visual gift-- you inform & inspire! You would be an amazing lifestyle consultant for expats relocating to Italy 🇮🇹.You could make a foreigner feel prepared and comfortable and still preserve the native Italian culture by helping expats respect and assimilate into an elegant Italo/European way of life.💋
Your choice of music for the video is outstanding balance of harmony and abeinace. I've been to Sydney Australia also lovely place. Your a heck of a young lady. Thanks for sharing your life and times with those that watch your channel. Outstanding job.
Oh yes please a Video about Dressing Right to not stick out😍 I’m going to Italy in a few weeks and I love to feel like I am a part of the country and it’s people. ☺️
That's the biggest mistake! Please PLEASE dress like you normally do! You turists attempt to look like a local but the results are cringey, for some reason people have an idea of Italian style that comes from old movies and is so outdated. Ffs please DON'T WEAR POLKA DOTS 😂😂😂
How about just being your perfect, authentic self, instead of a poor copy of someone else? Just a thought. It will also help you to meet a better kind of person who values genuineness over superficiality. To make a "Bella figura" in Italy, or anywhere, means more than superficial, surface appearances. I spend half of each year in southern Italy and this has worked well for me, for years. And besides-I definitely don't share the southern fashion sensibilities, which I find incredibly tacky.
Oh well I’m sorry about the misunderstanding! And i thank you for your advise and concern.
I didn’t mean it like I said it. Should have taken a minute longer to make my self more clearly.
I don’t want to copy. For me it’s more about inspiration and i know that Kylie has incredibly good taste so I would simply love a video about fashion from her. Especially since she was in the making of a clothing line I believe.
I am from Europe myself. Germany and my father is half Italian. I know the Tourists who try to „copy“ but I see it more as a compliment for the German woman and men and their more typical fashion style. And to be honest who doesn’t love to feel apart of something? :)
I am in Italy myself right now. And i just really admire the Italian woman and girls and how some put such a nice effort in to their appearance. I want to take more effort in how I present myself to make me feel my best self. And i take inspiration from them.
And Thats what it’s all about, isn’t it ? Inspiration and then the Motivation to be our best selfs for ourselves!
I love myself and I want every woman and men to love themselves!
Oh and i thank you for your advise: that It will help me find someone that’s not superficial;) you are quit right and I am lucky to have found someone that loves the true me! And i am happy for you if you found the same. And yes the Bella figura is not much about appearance and more about how you carry your self and how you take care of yourself!
Well I just wanted to convey what I truly meant a little better.
The comment above was written in a hurry and in utter excitement that Kylie might do a fashion video. So I excuse myself and thank you for your advise/ concern again :)
Kylie, you are a natural beauty! You are an absolute JOY to the world! Big hugs from Brooklyn. 🤗
NinoBK So sweet - and what a lovely smile you have! Even with the tiny picture you seem so bright and kind!
I love your videos Kylie! I love your kind and sweet soul! I discovered your channel only a few weeks ago and I found myself crying and laughing together many times, feeling you so close to my spirit and my way of perceiving the magic of life! So much joy to you! Grazie mille per condividere la bellezza in ogni sua sfumatura... un abbraccio dalle colline di Fiesole, Eleonora!
Eleonora Giovannini Wow, thank you sweet Eleonora!! I’m so glad you feel connected to my work. It’s such a rewarding thing for me to read after being up all night debating with AppleCare about my troublesome computer! 😴🤪🙏
I was surprised to see Florence much lower than Milano in the Cost of Living list! I imagined the opposite. Stayed in both around 5 yrs ago, would love to spend more time in Tuscany!
Stoped my life to watch yours with pleasure. Made coffee and watched the video and it felt like I was there with you.☕️😎 Yes, to the dressing, please .
I've started getting the urge to move to Italy about 2-3 times every week recently. When you compare that life, simple or less simple, to what we have in North America's cosmopolitan cities: crazy cost of housing, no soil that comes with it. Versus in Italy you can grow things practically anywhere, land is a quarter of the price with 5x more area for the dollar, the soil is fertile. It seems insane that North Americans keep living like we do, with all our vegetables designed and grown for "shelf life" instead of "life". If you become rich you can buy a detached home in SF, Seattle, New York, etc. But those are rare odds. Want to know what's far higher odds? Your odds of learning Italian, or French, or Spanish, or Greek and enjoying the simple life in the Mediterranean.
gfair2 You could check the super savvy travelers on RUclips. They recommend Calabria, in particular the small town of Santa Domenica Talao.
Wonderful Kylie! Thank you for sharing the precious memories of your Mummy with us - she was so beautiful on the outside and clearly on the inside too. Really enjoyed this film and yes it would be good to know how to 'blend in' clothes wise Italian style - I always wear too much black! Keep safe and hope you are well and happy x
miss Nicoli Thank you 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thank you for making your post personal and pragmatic. I've been working on Italian citizenship for more than five years and have lost heart more than once. I qualify through my grandparents.
Moving to Italy is still a dream. I watched with great interest your interview with the avvacato from Firenze. This is helpful content...... keep at it. Salute
Great video Kylie! I would also LOVE to see a “How to dress like an Italian” video. I’m a 51 year old male and any tips would be REALLY helpful! 😊
Kylie, love your efforts you are comprehensive. Most of all you teach that if you want something badly enough, you teach how to go after what you want in life. That it can be done and here’s what it will take. You seem to live a charmed life ...but not without major effort, that if can be had. Most of this comes from from knowing oneself and then you provide the know how. You’re an inspiration...
On a side note, have you given any though to, if it is not to much hassle to helping students learning Italian for you to sub-title in Italian as you speak. I follow you on RUclips and Instagram. You are a beautiful individual and I hope you reach all your goals...Gene
Well done, Kylie. You are both very informative and encouraging. Keep up the great work!
I'm not planning to move to Italy, but always end up watching all your videos about it. Amazing and inspiring! Thank you Kylie 🌸
Vanessa Morgado 😘😘
Yes, I would love to see a video about how to dress as an italian. Kylie do you wear Spf (sunscreen) on a daily basis? 😘
Julia Juliaana Hello Julia, no I never wear sunscreen - but I should! 🙈
Kylie Flavell I also wanted to know if you have any idea about the hairstylist there and what kind of licensing they need? I’m not sure if you would know that but I’ve been considering doing hair in Italy 🇮🇹 thank you for all the great information you give in your videos.
I would love to see a video about the fashion too! I absolutely loved this one too. Your videos bring a ray of positivity to my days 😍☀️
Idem
Beautytrends77 I don’t know anything about licensing and stuff. But do know that most stylists in small towns only know one basic thing for long hair and thats cutting it a straight line. They do an absolutely wonderful job but I think if you don’t have any ‘conpetition’ you could be a big hit. Especially with the ‘older’ ladies they most of the time get their hair done almost every week.
Thank you Kylie I love to live in Italy all my life. I am from Quebec your 3 videos about living in Italy has been so helpful. My passion is cooking, travelling and helping people. Love all your videos I have lived in Australia and Asia and my husband is Greek and a photographer loves your videos. Thank you again.
with the pandemic and being limited with travel because of border closures, i dream of traveling... once this is over i really want to move overseas in france even its for 1 month... as of now im studying my french while i'm at home. thanks for this beautiful video. your videos now especially have been a nice escape
christine frazier so happy to hear this, Christine! Hopefully much of this information could apply to France too as the cultures are very similar.
I really enjoy your material here on youtube. Very little in common, being about become retired with a loosely formulated plan to move to Italy and play chess at a small piazza, smoking my pipe and having yet another doppio macciato or glass of wine, but still your info and photage is just so good. Thanks ever so much 😊👍
dressing like an Italian yes please , I am 56 , will probably be 60 plus when I go x I'm a woman !!
Please PLEASE don't do the "dress as an Italian" thing. Turists come to our country dressing like an old movie character and they believe we dress like that,with polka dot dresses and straw hats. It's so cringey and fake and you can be spotted from far away! Just dress like you normally do!!
@@Angie2Pink true
@@Angie2Pink We should suggest men, to DON'T wear gym clothes basketball tank shirts (unless you aren't in a gym or running)... and don't wear baseball caps. No one uses them, in Italy.
And NO SOCKS with sandals or open shoes.
@@Angie2Pink DON'T TELL THEM! You'll kill the fun.
I live in UK and not moving to Italy but I have watched all three parts of these and really enjoyed! Pleasure to watch🤍
I think a video on not sticking out would be great. I love your videos! They are informative and absolutely a visual delight. I love that your genuine personality shines through.
Oh my god. Cornetti with crema di pasticceria is the best thing I’ve eaten in my life!
Kylie, I've only recently discovered you online and I'm blown away by your stunning films. You are incredibly generous in all the insight you provide and you're giving this fellow Australian hope that my Italian dream is still within reach (although Crazy Corona has put it temporarily on hold). Mwah!
Kylie, you are so professional the way you film your videos. But more importantly you are interesting and have a lovely voice to listen to. Your information is so well put across. Looove the scenery in your videos! and the music! I am now constantly singing Dean Martin's In Napoli! 🇮🇹🌳🌴🌻🏵🌹🍕🏖 Thank you for all your amazing efforts.x 😊
Thank you Kylie for these videos. I moved to northern Tuscany 9 years ago. I made the move alone, which is courageous as I'm a woman, and since then I have settled in. But even now, my Italian isn't so great because I stay home a lot. I'm 72 haha with a very youthful spirit. But I do get out and travel when I can. For a few years I taught English to Italians, and I have bought an ancient stone house that I renovated. So no rent anymore. Yay! But I don't have money to spare. I am on a tight "pensione" budget. I have a few Italian friends, but they are younger and have young families, so our lifestyles are different. I don't like hanging out with other expats much. My apologies to all. I have one couple I'm friends with from the UK and are my age who have a house here and have been coming to Italy for most of their lives. But we only get together a few times a year. Anyway, your videos make me realize what an enormous transition I have achieved at my age. Like you, I have traveled the world most of my life, but Italy called to me. And I have never wanted to leave Italy since I've arrived. I have an adult son with a wife and two grandchildren in California who I see once or twice a year (I do the traveling, not this year though). Anyway, I think a well-thought-out adventure at any stage in life is worth the risk and the challenging times that may come with it. God bless you. Keep up your excellent work.
Curious about your residency status.
its always a pleasure watching you, your so real and true to your word, its such a beautiful thing to see.
I will probably never get to Italy but im enjoying your experience you share. thank you sweet lady.. 🌸✨💚

Sorry I’m italian e the coffee doesn’t cost 80 ( probably some years ago) cent but 1 euro ,more like 1.50 in art cities like Venetia, Rome, Florence etc.😅😅

Sticking out as a tourist in Italy.
Ah. Sometimes you could see American tourists in North Italy in April wandering in t-shirts and shorts...
Fortunately Internet has reduced this kind of issue.
I'd like a video on how Italians stick out abroad as foreigners also!
I had my hair done just the way you described once in a Greek island and I totally agree with you! Thanks for your valuable information!
Hello Kylie, I'm really enjoying learning about Italy and especially enjoyed your video from Positano. So beautiful there! You have a gentle spirit and a nice energy about you. Always inspiring, someone who follows their dream!!
24:45. I've already become a huge fan, but I think it is so beautiful that you are not speaking to a specifically young audience. You are such a gem. I love your energy and am really appreciating what you are sharing.
I have to just thank you for this video. The amount of time and effort you devote to making not only beautiful, but QUALITY content is so appreciated on this end. So much detail and clarity - the investment in your work does not go unnoticed. Thank you so much! Much love.
So wonderful to hear your experience through your beautiful content, thank you for sharing and in such a genuine manner. I’m looking into moving to Italy with my husband and two young boys. All your tips help more then you know.
Kylie, thanks for this mini series! So helpful! I would personally love to see you upload a video on how to blend in as a female and not seem as a foreigner. ❤️
So glad I joined . It’s so great to see it all ! I’m moving in 2 and a bit years and so appreciate everything you have commented on -incredibly useful 🥰
I am glad it was your computer that had problem and not you. I honestly got worried but so happy to hear your beautiful soothing voice. I love your sense of honesty. 💚
Zahra G how compassionate you are. Thank you!!!
Hi Kylie, do you have a video of the reasons/ journey behind moving to Italy and what/ where you've been during your years there? It would be great to hear a whole story from the beginning to now :)
Informative as always. I am very interested in fashion advice. I do like the stylish Italian looks but for men it is hard to know the simplest and best ways to dress when in Europe. I am in New Zealand and like Australia we tend to be casual/sloppy/comfortable but it is hard to find Italian (or French) style advice because people who know tend to be in the business of selling $3,000 suits and $900 shoes so advice where the advisor isn't trying to sell you something would be welcomed.
I found your channel a few days ago and love how informative and natural the content is!!! It also reminds me the days I lived in Venezia. Looking forward to seeing you cook with Italians at home😁
I love the fact that you are living as a local, not going eating out every night because you know that you can find really good products at the local market. Italians really love cooking, try to learn how to cook some local dish! Hope you’ll enjoy Italy!
You have come a long way Kylie, when I first saw your vlog I thought I know this girl and then I remembered from the food Chanel I think when Patrick loved Kylie ??? Anyway I’m thrilled for your success and you have obviously worked very hard to get where you are now.....congrats......Donna in Toronto
Brava, Kylie! I'm British and have lived and worked in Florence for more than 30 years. I'm 74 (poverino che sono!!) and know very well that what you say on this video about Italy is excellent and true. Brava davvero!!!!! Complimenti!
You are such a lovely person 💞 listening to you it’s truly a pleasure . Thank you for the privilege.
Don’t forget to mention “coperto”, You don’t have to leave tip, because there would be a service charge.
Love your way of thinking and your way of life!
New to your Chanel. Very detailed and informative. Not planning on living there, but when I visit, I will be ready. I am happy I am subscribed to you. I love the background music. And love the pictures of the sites you included.. Have a beautiful Saturday. Thanks from New Jersey USA!
Ciao Kylie, I just discovered your channel and omg thank you so much for sharing your experience and all the useful info in such a beautiful and inspiring way. ❤I finally decided to move to Milan from London and can't wait to live la dolce vita and enjoy my time in this lovely country.

The best part of the video imo is when you talk about mental health. Even a strange and stable mind needs it.

I was surprised to see your video here at 5am when I awoke. Then I learn you stayed awake late to deliver to your subscribers. Early this year we had a tile cutter doing work for us. He was born in Italy & still has family in Rome & Jesi. My city Edmonton is more expensive than most Italian cities. We love Italy but my wife would never leave our daughter (your age) or son behind. Your channel is informative and you are a talented videographer & editor. You will marry a handsome Italian & have a bunch of kids who call you mama. Very delightful presentation! Thank you kindly, Kylie. Live a happy life in a dreamy place!

Hi Kylie
Just discovered your wonderful videos series and I am loving watching them! I love your views of life and also your practicality. I especially love your grace and aesthetic . Thank you so much for doing what you do. 💖
If you every get the chance swing over to Malta. My dad was born in Valetta and I've made a few trips from Sydney it's a very long trip!! My mother is Italian, born in Australia and her parents were from Brescia. I can relate very much to how you feeling living in Italy. Visiting Malta, usually 8 weeks at a time, I'd come back to Sydney and for the first month or so people just seemed to walk so much faster than me when they got off the train to go to work! I'd think to myself ....wow.....this was me before my holiday!! You can only fully emerse your self only when you truly want to!!Its been 15yrs since my last trip!! Time for another trip I think. Wishing you the best.
Kind Regards Karen.
MsKaza64 thank you Karen! I’m so glad you understand that different rhythm!! And Malta is SUCH a beautiful island!

Thank you very much for another beautiful and honest video. When I was student (and also later in life ;) I used that same "trick" of saying that I had a bit of a stomach problem in order to avoid an expensive bill for dinner. Always felt kind of weird for using that false excuse, now I feel much better :D
And on another note: Your mum looks incredibly young (and beautiful)!
Jasmin Skau Oh really?! That makes me feel much better! Part of the reason is that I didn’t want to spoil the fun for others and make them feel bad for me when ordering multiple courses if I just ordered a soup and a glass of water. 😂
Jasmin Skau , you girls are funny, because if I was with a person who said they had a stomach issue, I would lose my appetite for fear I would catch the stomach virus that’s quite contagious! I’ve had people at a dinner party say they’re not going to order anything except for example soup, and I am never offended by that. Each person has his or her own reason. Similarly if I’m not going to drink alcohol, I would respectfully tell the crowd that I don’t mind splitting the bill for food and appetizers but because I don’t drink , to please remove my portion from the drink bill. It’s too bad that we always feel judged!
@@eileenchang2173 I completely agree with your point that it would be better to just be honest, but I remember that especially in situations where I did not really know the majority of the people, I did not want to be the one complicating things. It's probably not so much a question of offending anyone, but more not feeling like the "odd one out" in a culture that you might not yet be familiar with. I guess today I would not feel bad anymore to just ask for a separate bill, but back then it felt easier that way.
Kylie, I never post messages but I hope my daughter grows up to be a fine woman like you! Good luck from Canada!
OMG your videos are so nice. Thank you for live in Italy and be part of the golden sunshine that our lovely country give us. You really catch the essence of living la Dolce Vita in the most positive way. Sei adorabile e tutti i millenials dovrebbero prendere esempio
Hi, I find your videos about about moving to Italy so insightful. Thank you for all the information. I currently moved to Australia and I am thinking of moving to Italy in the near future and your videos are so good and giving me so many tips for my next journey. Thank you Kylie!
I have no intention of moving to Italy (unfortunately.. although I often fantasize about it ::sigh::) but you still managed to get me to watch 3 whole videos about it lol Your work is so beautiful and so inspiring. Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your art, and for taking me back to those beautiful little streets that I dream to return to!
the cost of living in rome is super high if you compare it with the local wage. the monthly cost of an apartment in Rome equals an avarage net wage, as a matter of fact most people who live in the city either inherit their home, or live in the suburbs outside the main urban area.
I live in Rome, the cost of a rent monthly is above 900€,
the minimum wage is 3€ per hour, and the avarage wage is 1300€, you can reach 1900€ at the end of your career. The economy is very bad and this has huge repercussions on the job market, on infrastructure and public transportation which is particularly bad if you compare it to other european cities.
Currently watching this a year after my trip to Italy, dreaming and waiting until I’m able to move there in the future...
Kylie, I absolutely love your videos! You have such a sweet soul and it makes my day to listen to your beautifully told stories. I’m in the process of getting my Italian dual citizenship and your videos motivate me so much! Thank you for sharing, and maybe once I move to Italy we’ll be able to connect! Ciao for now!
Another beautiful video, packed with with so much logical information and put across in your unique class and style. 🇬🇧👍
Martyn Lejeune thank you!!
Love your videos. It would also be interesting to do an episode on how to meet locals, integrate well and avoid loneliness when living in a foreign country.
Back in 2003 I watched the romantic movie Under the Tuscan Sun and I loved it, the plot, the actors.. everything, the film location was in Tuscany, such a beautiful and romantic place. I love Italy in general. Since then, and after watching Kylie's videos with more details, I fell in love that place and I'm planning to travel there one day. By the way I recommend you to watch that movie. 🙂 Anyway, thank you Kylie for creating and sharing these beautiful videos with us, you are awesome as always. Take care! 👍
George Constantinou Under the Tuscan sun,a beautiful movie.x
So helpful and interesting to hear the differences of living in Italy compared to other locations! Things like fast internet we take for granted in many places and these utilities add up quickly! It's really admirable that you've thrown yourself so completely into a new culture and I truly appreciate your vulnerability in sharing the pros & cons of challenging yourself this way. I love traveling alone because it makes us stronger and more independent women and I can't wait to be able to see Italy some day! This year has been quite a difficult one so these videos have been a wonderful ray of sunshine. You're amazing - take care!!! 💕💕
Bravissima Kylie!
Ammiro la tua grinta 💪👍🏻
