OUR DREAM ADVENTURE IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

We are heading to Italy for our next chapter! Who would have thought that the three of us would prepare for a new getaway at this stage of our lives? But here we are, full of enthusiasm and ready to immerse ourselves in the enchanting landscapes of Italy. As we begin this journey, our hearts are light as a feather, hovering in flight with anticipation for the adventures that await us in our beloved Italy.

Thank you, life, for this new chapter! 🚗🌟

While our community is now focused on Mussomeli, we invite anyone outside of the town to join our community so we can share the beauty that is Mussomeli.

Dual citizenship

Step one in this journey is gaining our dual citizenship. It means a ton of research, back and forth and lots of paperwork, but in the end it will all be worth it to have that connection to Neil's family heritage.

✅ Fact Finding and Home Buying

This stage is where we scout areas we would like to live, inquire about those places, look for houses, et cetera. All things that we can do from home while still working since retirement is a ways away. Essentially starting over in Italy is a scary though but one that we will be prepared for.
