S2 EP 11 Moving to Italy With Kids: From Language Learning to Choosing Schools

In today's episode, we explored the exciting yet daunting prospect of moving to Italy with children.

With the introduction of the new Digital Nomad Visa, the dream of immersing your family in a new culture has become more accessible, and Italy, with its rich history, culture, and family-centric lifestyle, presents a perfect backdrop for raising children.

I talk about the practical aspects of relocating, such as dealing with the intricacies of moving logistics, finding schools, and integrating into the Italian community. Plus I shared personal experiences about my own experiences with kids and grandkids in Italy.

Our special guest, Shannon Kelly from www.theculturedkid.com, joins me to give invaluable insights into teaching kids new languages, even when the parents are not fluent. Her platform offers resources in multiple languages, including Italian, making it easier for children to adapt linguistically to their new home.

We also tackled listener questions about practical aspects of living in Italy, such as healthcare, property buying, and residency issues. Each response aimed to clarify common misconceptions and provide useful tips for a smooth transition to Italian life.

Whether you're just curious or seriously planning a move, this episode is packed with advice, stories, and resources to help you and your children embrace a new life in Italy. Remember, every step towards this new life is a step towards creating unforgettable memories with your family in the beautiful setting of Italy.

For those who know me and those whom I have had the honor to help move to Italy, you know that I am obsessed with taking complex things and boiling them down into small, actionable, easy-to-do steps.

I am a bit of a freak about it and can’t remember when I wasn’t the “problem solver – solution seeker” in the confused crowd.

My dad used to say I was just stubborn or unwilling to accept “you can’t do that” for an answer. Still, I always believed that if you can look at a problem from every angle, break it down, and have the support and knowledge to move through and over the barriers, anything is possible.

Now, in my new life in Italy, I use my obsession with planning and finding solutions to help people from all over the world successfully move to Italy, whether to live part-time or full-time, with less stress and mistakes.

I am considered one of the top relocation experts in Italy and am the founder and Chief Dream Maker at Smart Move Italy (www.smartmoveitaly.com) where my team of experts and I work tirelessly to help smooth the pathway to a new life in Italy- and I hope that we can help you too.
