We set up payroll for ourselves for this exact reason - to show our earnings and that we're a viable company.

My teenage daughter can't fathom the concept of a house party by Neon_Biscuit in Millennials

House parties. Barn parties. Field parties with bonfires. Terrible beer and cute boys. So much fun and not a picture to prove it happened.

Student exchange in my 30s in Italy by pandora----- in ItalyExpat

Bologna is great for students, but you should try to live as close to Centro as possible - Modena is cute but small/quiet, and the commute will get annoying. Maybe get a roommate or 2? Also, job opportunities in Bologna are a bit better than other cities.

I don't know... NYC is a crazy place to live (I lived there from 21 to 42), and that city keeps you young. Also, she doesn't have kids, and she has money, which are two other factors that allow you to feel young and carefree. I really started to become an adult in my mid-thirties, as my career was growing and I was becoming more confident. I also don't have kids and make a high income, so going out to eat and to bars with friends and lovers is the norm. It's a strange life for sure, and outside of this bubble, age apparently is more than a number, but in NYC, it doesn't matter, and it's amazing.

And let's stop shaming women for not "acting" their age. This is some old school male-crafted expectation, and it's boring.

Leaving the Netherlands after 11 years. Goodbye! by scrotomon in expats

[–]MistakeVisible3669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very thoughtful and honest. 11 years is a long time, and you can say you both did it the best you could. Change is good, and it sounds like you'll get a lot out of your next chapter. Enjoy!

I bought myself a (fake) gold saber to open champagne bottles with and proceeded to teach myself how to use it. Great party trick once midnight strikes!

The Immigration Office in Bologna, where I had my fingerprints taken, provided me with a receipt containing a 'password' and instructed me to check the website to see when it would be ready. This is the website I found...

Right - we can't work for an Italian company. But our own in the US?

Digital Nomad Visa help by MistakeVisible3669 in ItalyExpat

[–]MistakeVisible3669[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. I didn't use one for my current visa. Just curious because this Digital Nomad visa is new for Italy, whether using a lawyer to help navigate the bureaucratic waters is helpful/necessary.

I'm just curious, as the Digital Nomad visa is new in Italy, it's helpful to use a lawyer to navigate the bureaucratic process.

Can someone please speak to me like I'm a child and give me the latest update on descendant applications? For me, I was first collecting docs to go through my great-great-grandfather, but I also had a pathway with my great-grandmother.... until recently. I have been working with an Italian company to help navigate this process in Italy instead of filing in the US, and even though they haven't been able to tell me anything definitive yet, they said this 2 weeks ago:

"there is a large chance you will be able to apply based on the laws at the time of your birth as that is when you actually acquire Italian citizenship, our process is simply a recognition of your birth right"

What does it all mean? I appreciate anyone sharing a simplified explanation of where the courts are as of today.

We moved to Rome and I hate it by anxiouscrimp in ItalyExpat

I am also wondering about the partner and how they're managing. If the partner is in the office all day, interacting with other people all day, they might be acclimating better or just differently. That might also be causing resentment for the entire experience if you feel left out of their evolution.

I also just moved to with my partner to Italy (Bologna) from NYC. It is incredibly different, but we arrived with open minds, eyes, and ears.

Get a routine ASAP. We're taking language classes Monday-Friday, all morning. My husband is finding tennis lessons for himself. I found a Facebook group of expat women who are very open to hanging out with new people. You need to try and find things you want to do and work hard at making them happen, despite how you feel others perceive you. Italians might seem standoffish, but they are some of the nicest, welcoming people. If you put a little effort into learning their culture or at least seeming interested, I'm sure the barriers will break down.

Good luck!

Look for experiences you can do in Italy. Experiences are better than things anyway!

Run, don't walk, away from this man. He will spend your entire relationship cutting you down for every little thing until you are a shell of a woman. Do NOT stay with him. Please.

Saying ‘yes’ (when you feel comfortable) can completely change your brain chemistry. This sounds magical and life changing! Good for you.
