Biggest Culture Shock of an American in Italy

Today I chat to Kacie, who has left her life in the US and moved to Florence a few years ago. Since then she's gained social media fame by candidly sharing the daily culture shocks she encounters in her life in Florence.
Kacie's story takes an unexpected turn when she meets her Italian boyfriend, Dario, during her first solo trip to Italy. Since then, she decides to step out of her comfort zone and call Florence her home. Kacie has recently released a book, "You Deserve Good Gelato," offering an honest account of her experiences. Pre-order your copy now and delve into her unique perspective on love, life, and relocation.

Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating. The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life.

They are talking about little shops in towns and villages. But in Italy there are also malls and supermarkets. They are open all day long, every day in the week and sell everything. I don’t know why tourists don’t go there.

That was an interesting video, especially about american culture of friendliness which is generally seen by europeans (like me, being German) as superficial. Well, after that talk I got a glimpse of understanding the "friendliness" approach.

But you can just choose what is perfect for you personally. Sweden, for example. ❤

Even within Italy there are cultural differences. Northern Italy like Milan is way different than the south, like in Calabria.
