An episode I have been waiting so long to share. This week I invited on Gabriela Encina, a psychologist helping specifically expat couples navigate the challenges of multicultural relationships.

In my time in Italy I have met so many foreigners who moved to Italy for love (or stayed for love), but sometimes, things in these relationships aren’t all grande amore. There’s a huge challenge of balancing between cutural differences. Lack of language, or stability can make us feel at times that this isn’t the life for us, but for our partners. That doesn’t mean all is lost, it’s just about finding balance again.

Biggest lesson:look out for yourself and take care of yourself! Don’t let your life revolve around your partner.

If you are looking to create a community of your own, not your partners, look for Girl Gone International in your community (It’s where I found Gabriela!)

This podcast is for foreigners living in Italy, who are all just trying to make sense of it all.

Listen in to learn all about a side of living in Italy everyone else forgot to tell you about. But don’t expect us all to be better, I promise. Expect some good laughs, helpful tips and cultural explanations, and expat stories to remind you that you aren’t alone, and it’ll all work out.

This week, I am revisiting our talk about the mafia in Italy with a better look at the Camorra - who are they? When did they begin? And what role do they play today?

A quick episode to give you an overview of this Italian organized crime group.

When Aperitivo comes around, many of us reach for a Spritz or Wine. But what about a Craft Beer? Beer is not something we often consider associated with Italy, but it’s a popular drink of choice, and in recent years the craft beer scene has really been growing. Tana Schwarz is here to tell us more about craft beer in italy. What counts as a craft beer? What are some to look for? And where can you explore more of Italy’s beer scene?

Have a listen and find out.

Here's some of Tana's work she'd love to share.
