Hi everyone. I'm a 34-year-old UK-Austrian citizen looking to build a life in Italy, accompanied by my 13-year-old dog. I have a BA in English and I'm CELTA-qualified, so I suppose that limits me to teaching jobs. However, I do speak intermediate Italian. My work experience consists of teaching English and Spanish, a content writer role, and a restaurant supervisor role, but I'd rather work in content editing, translation, journalism or even just any office job.
I've been looking mostly at Turin, but also Verona, Padova, Bergamo, Brescia and Udine. This is because I imagine there will be more opportunities in these cities, but also, I believe they are less prone to earthquakes (correct me if I'm wrong?). Furthermore, I suffer from a long-term health condition, so I would need good healthcare and have read that things can be a bit iffy in the South, even though I'd also considered Bari. Nevertheless, if there is a southern city which has good healthcare and decent employment opportunities, then I would be interested (feel free to suggest).
I'd also appreciate any advice on which city in the North would best suit me. I'd like to make Italian friends, have things to see and do, and would prefer the least cold northern city in winter. Thanks a lot for reading all of this!
