New members of the Italy forum, introduce yourselves here - 2023

Hi everyone my name is Abel. I'm originally from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I have 7+ years of experience in designing embedded systems for an Ethiopian Governmental Organization. I came to Italy because I got a job offer to work as a Senior Software Designer at a company called Luxoft Automotive, Italy. I came to Turin on Monday, May 22, 2023. Though I'm really grateful that my company booked me a hotel to stay at for an entire month, I still would appreciate any kind of connection with other ex-pats like me located in the beautiful city of Turin, Italy.

Abel

Hello Abel, Welcome on board !

Bhavna

I live in New Zealand in olive and wine country, close to the sea, hold an EU passport and am considering living in Italy for 90-180 days a year to enjoy two summers and no more winters. I'll be asking questions on the forum and thank those of you have been there, done that and have tips to share so we can walk around the obstacles rather than have to climb them.

Hello and welcome diterra,

Where are you planning to live in Italy ?

Regards

Bhavna

We are looking at Abruzzo but will probably visit in September to explore. Looking for a centro storico with a pleasant summer climate (love Lecce, but the summers are unbearable). Reasonable priced housing, prefer commercial ground floor for a commercial art studio and secure parking for a classic car, Slow Food, friendly expats (and locals, although sometimes that is asking too much when one does not speak the language).

@Julien Welcome friend I am Bangladeshi I am working in Bahrain

@Julien  Thanks Julien

yes I've different new plans but unfortunately, I don't have the vise

Hello everyone.

My situation:

For the first time in 30 years I took a vacation out of the US this Spring, and my first choice was Italy.  I enjoyed it as much or more than expected ... which is to say, I enjoyed it a lot! 

Now, when considering retirement, Italia is again a country I am looking at.  Just like everyone else, I like the idea of lower cost living, beautiful scenerey, a more relaxed pace and great food,.  Plus, as a bicyclist, the country is even more attractive for all the enthusiasm and activity there involving all things bicci.

No firm plans at the moment, but really glad to find this 'site with so much information and of course the many other persons with similar plans and interests.

Dan

Hello Dan_M,

Welcome to Expat.com

Thank you for this beautiful introduction.

If you have any topics you would like to discuss with other members of this forum, do not hesitate to initiate a new conversation on the Italy forum.

Regarding retirement, do you have a favourite region where you would like to spend your golden days?

Cheers,

Cheryl

Hi Cheryl,

Seems there are many attractive areas.  Maybe just up the coast from Rome to be near a big city.  Alternately, Puglia might be a good fit for what I am looking for.  I saw some cities in this region, but it is difficult to really get a sense of an area from a short trip, so I will definitely post in the main section of the forums as you mention.

Gratzie

Hello Lyn,

Welcome on board !

I hope you get some interaction as soon as possible. How do you find Lecce so far ?

Hi Bhavna,

Lecce is a beautiful city from what i have seen so far and of course i am loving the food and the weather is amazing compared to rainy old Ireland😄 and locals are lovely and are patient with my limited Italian, i think they like when you at least try to speak their language.
