Introduction
I am originally from Ohio, I moved to Florida in the early 90's and I am now ready for a new change. I have always been taught and shown the pride or my Italian heritage and it has always been a dream of mine to reside in Calabria. Covid has brought that dream closer, I realize tomorrow is not promised and I feel I need to make this happen now. My family and I are so excited for this next adventure.
I joined expat.com on 07 July 2020.
Expat experience
I am hoping to move to Calabria and enjoy the rest of my years exploring and my ancestral home. Living in Calabria has been a lifelong dream. Covid has put life in perspective. Tomorrow is not promised.
I have always fantasized about Italy and the stories from my grandparents; I just feel connected to the area, like its home to my soul.
I am nervous about feeling awkward in a new country and not being fluent in the language but I am practicing daily.
We have lived in Ft Myers for many years, we built our house when our daughter was a toddler and had a great life here with a pool and great community. As we move closer to retirement I would love to fulfill my life long dream and move to Calabria.
We love the beach and warm weather and the slower pace.
I do not like what is happening in the states, I feel like the american dream of the early 1900's is long gone. I know I have a lot to be grateful for here but I am ready for a change.
