Q&A: How to Change Your Life (and Move to ITALY)

[@nikolemarcelin]

I am a 17 year old girl in the U.S and i completely understand the heartbreaking feeling of not being able to live in the place you want to. I dream of moving to italy and I spend days crying over the thought of it. I am saving now to make my dream a reality. Thank you for this.

Hey Nicole, same here. I'm a 17 year old girl living in Canada dreaming of moving to Italy..

I left Italy 2 years ago, and I can’t get her out of my mind. Today I was in Budapest and there were Italian people everywhere, I was transported back to my true emotions. She was there again, right in my face! Her smell, her architecture, her warmth, her spectacular beauty and I decided then that I have to come back. I’ve lived in Greece, UK, Spain, Italy and Germany; but nothing compares to you 🇮🇹

[@manuelemariani8188]

Come back then :) u re always welcome

Thank you Scarlett..as italians we don t undestand all this great love you all have for our country..we don t realize what s so special !! We have so much plasure for your love toward ITALY.. WELCOME SCARLET..

[@michaellamartina2403]

I've always had an inner longing to come back home to Italy.My Ancestors came here a while ago and I can not understand why they did not run back to Italy immediately..the America's are so not what people believe of them. They've completely inverted the whole history

[@iurikas]

I’m italian, I live in Italy and sometimes I think I wanted to be born i a totally different place, far from here because there si a lot of things that don’t work here. But reading the comments below and listenig this lovely words about the place where i’ve lived my entire life is so moving!until now I never realized that my country could be a good place to live for a foreigner. Sometimes changing the eyes of the beholder one discovers the beauty we live in . Thank yoy

[@michaellamartina2403]

italy is the most beautiful place in the world. i dream of leaving America and coming there someday..you are sp lucky to live there

[@nat9844]

You really are so lucky, you live in a place full of art and beauty, i would honestly drop everything and move there right now, i love Italy so much:(

[@danhope77]

I've lived in Ireland, Canada, the UK: yes, in Italy things can be tough. But what matters the most in your life? That's the question you must answer when you decide to leave your country and your family. Living abroad is a good experience. Leaving Italy forever is 'hardcore'. Not for everyone.

[@patriciamartinez5615]

It’s been a dream of mine to travel to this beautiful place with my husband and daughter. It seems like an amazing place and the people seem so warm and welcoming. We’ll be there someday...

[@dc3428]

Life is tough everywhere. The bad is never broadcast openly and we know our countries well so we see the cracks. What you have in Italy is identity, culture, quality of life.

[@JenShea]

I love that quote!! Here it is here: Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.” - Anonymous Great video, as always!!

[@KylieFlavell]

Jen Shea thank you! At least, that's what I tell myself when I'm feeling depressed and fearing I'll never make it. 😖😉

[@JenShea]

Oh Kylie, We all feel like a fraud at times... You've made it... maybe not exactly where you thought you might be by now, but you are doing an amazing job... honestly... You've inspired me, and you have no idea how much. I'm in Europe (Portugal), for the first time, and when this opportunity came up suddenly (and out of the blue) I thought of you *truthfully. I thought of all those beautiful videos that you've posted on Italy (my ultimate destination) I told myself that I need to do this for me. This will get me that much closer to Italy. To finally see the places I've dreamed of (for far many more years than you can imagine). I am here, an hour north of Lisbon, and 10 minutes from the beach) for another 2 months... if you'd like to visit, I have the room. Please know you have inspired many people.

[@KylieFlavell]

Jen Shea my gosh I'm so moved! I can't believe what you wrote. Thank you truly for being such a humble compassionate soul and sharing your thoughts with me. 😊

[@susanmacaluso5218]

Welllll...ahem...uh the video quality is great but so much time was wasted at the beginning on her personal image...and well, when she added in the lingerie top shots I just sort of laughed, and then with her licking the gelato it simply became ridiculous. I can't watch this. I LOVE Italy...been three times...and I wanted an informative video, not a fairy-tale/Instagram model who comes across as an idiot for not paying her rent.

[@saracollins676]

I totally can relate, Italy is home of my soul and my fifth element ♡

[@adharshc4871]

Wht does it mean by your 5th elment?

[@ninabambinaaa]

My mammas side is Italian and I always felt a deep connection to the country. It's my home away from what I was raised to think was my real home. Italy is my heart, I'm so blessed to have it running through me. A county unlike any other. No other word can be as close to describe than *home*. Così tanto amore.❤️🇮🇹

[@obliviate2738]

Beautiful words 🙏 kisses from Italy 😘😘

[@missbigkim]

When I first saw this video three years ago I felt every word that she said. She put into words how I’ve been feeling inside since I visited Italy back in the 90’s. Lately I’ve decided to make this lifelong dream a reality once and for all. It never too late to be who you want to be and I want to be an Italian citizen! ❤️

[@MrMikkyn]

I love that your talk about how your environment affects you. A lot of people seem to ignore this fact. And how you brought this up is really special, especially given that you have moved to Italy.

[@amber3998]

I'm a 16 year old from the uk.. i think the fact im watching this at this age shows how much i dream of it!

[@salimaosman1698]

Before moving to italy I was soo in love with italy! The culture, the food, the beautiful nature. The beauty, the art, the music.I was always daydreaming of the day I would move there without taking into consideration the bad side. I came here, became heart broken so many times, been broke, been scared and lonely because I was so far from my family and friends. And I started to hate my stay in italy. I became depressed and fearful to be able to make it here. I started to hate the country for a year. But now Im starting to fall in love again with this beautiful country again.

[@luciaprayogo8469]

Your wording is soo elequent... touch my soul.... I love Italy too... thank you Kylie...

[@donnas6221]

I love your passion toward Italy! That's exactly how I feel about it as well. I plan to move one day hopefully soon. Best wishes!

[@selenelopez5383]

"If you find something in this world that can make you feel that intensly, how could you not explore it? How could you not try at leat to get more of that in your life?" Kylie thanks for being so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your beautiful spirit with the world!

[@pnmd]

I appreciate the honesty. Not being able to pay rent, many can relate to that at one point in our lives. I'm a doctor now so I don't worry about that now but I can relate at one time. I think you have haters because you're videos look so good, hi production value like a beautiful fairy tale. Hard to believe you shoot them yourself, kudos. And they prob hate your ebullient spirit - don't let the haters extinguish that in you!

[@KylieFlavell]

PhotoN how kind you are to say this and how admirable that you're still appreciative of a struggle that is no longer a problem for you. I think it helps tremendously if you've been fortunate enough to experience both sides of the coin. I had a very good salary as a publisher and magazine editor so perhaps that allows me to romanticise my depressing experiences because I chose to give up security. Many people don't have that privilege. You could be onto something with the production quality! 😂 Thanks for such beautiful encouragement. 😘😘😘

[@pnmd]

I'm one of the top photographers on 500px. No one questions my skills because I'm a guy. You're a pretty girl so many are suspect of your production quality.

[@morganhaley532]

Your videos inspired me so much and relit a fire that began to fade due to fear of living my life and failing. I literally cried watching this video a million times because I had hope again. I stopped living in fear. I booked a flight to Italy I paid for my air b and bs I booked incredible tours to ride a horse up my Vesuvius and ride a Vespa thru Naples. I did something I thought I’d never be able to do. I’m only 22 and I’m about to experience something so beautiful because your videos reminded me how strong I am and how much beauty and possibility is in the palm of our own hands. Thank you.

[@dkbrown00]

Italy is like coming “home”. When I’m there, it amazes me how content I feel just being there, in that moment ❤️

[@thezengirl3685]

I know I’ve found an angel. Being happily “stuck” in Australia, having time to reflect and reimagine my life, I came across your content. You glorious Aussie girl! Thank you for being this glorious, kind, down-to-earth yet insanely gorgeous!

[@Julia-ny2wt]

This made me so emotional, I'm even writing this through tear filled eyes. You see I had this dream when I was a kid, I wanted to be a ballerina andI had my tutu on and danced around my living room with my sister to Vivaldi. And I used to tell my mom that one day I was going to go to Italy and dance. Now, I never actually started dancing ballet for real because along the way other things came up and I kind of forgot about my childhood dream (also, ballet was totally lame. basketball was so much cooler). I easily feel passion for thing, I'm a passionate person. I've wanted to play in the WNBA, I've wanted to be an actress, a writer, I wanted to be a surgeon at one point! But I seem to always come back to this idea of life in Italy and out of everything, I have never felt so passionately about anything! I have two years left to graduation, but I've already started planning and saving up. This video just got to me because you're living my dream. And it got me feeling so positive about it again because I've been feeling kind of blue lately. So I don't know, maybe I just want to say thank you. Yeah, thank you.

[@KylieFlavell]

[@debradominiakrinck6699]

Hello Kylie, I have just happened onto your website and love listening to your videos. My husband and I were in Italy last summer for a family wedding in Florence and we will never forget it for the rest of our lives. I was very surprised by how taken I was with Italian as Paris was always my desired destination. But I was so taken with Italy after seeing Florence and Rome that I long to return. Of course now we are amidst the Pandemic and the people of Italy are struggling. I hope to return someday. I totally understand your free spirit. I am in my 60's but have lived most of my life as an adventure and taken big risks to move towards relationships, jobs and places that were enlivening....and its not over yet! Don't let the haters get to you. You are a lovely and full of life woman...and people are just envious of your freedom, beautiful and spirit. Keep filming, exploring and staying positive. You are charming and inspiring. I look forward to all of your adventures. Cheers!

[@TheAlwaysboy]

I'm italian, currently living in Japan. Moving back to my beloved, extremely beautiful country.... Thank you for your beautiful and heartfelt description. I miss Italy, my Umbria! I'd love to host you, let's stay in touch

Kylie, I have immigrated to 3 countries, Israel, Mexico and now live in Montenegro purchased a property. I lived in Florence for 3 months. Looking forwad to visiting my friend in the future. I have traveled to many countries as well. I have always lived my life never giving up my dreams. I raised my son also the same way. He now lives in Varna with his wife(Ukranian)2 children. They all speak 3-4 languages. They travel as a family.

[@kristamichelle5348]

Kylie you are amazing. I love your spirit and your positivity. This has truly touched me and has filled my heart with so much hope. I am from America and I am currently writing this from Cividale Del Friuli, Italy. I have just spent the last 2 months living here with my boyfriends family. He was only able to stay a few weeks because he travels for work. I have been in so many situations where I couldn't understand anyone. I have been to the mountains. the sea, and walked the streets of the center. I have been to church and listened to the beautiful language in prayer. I have been so blessed to have had this experience. This is my second time to travel to Italy and also my longest stay. I love the way you think about the challenge of living in another country, learning the language, adapting to the culture, and living like a true native. You are beautiful inside and out and I am going to listen to you from now on because you are so real! We are talking about moving here in a couple of years. Do you have any advise on better ways to learn the language? How long did it take you to speak with more confidence. I know a ton of vocab but putting the sentences together has been a real struggle for me and has left me in awkward situations. Thank you so much for sharing your story -

[@danhope77]

Moving back to Italy in a week. I have a job. Still, it is scary. Moving back with the family after 10 years in the UK. Not young anymore. Young at heart.

[@cortneygraham3382]

Kylie, I've been watching your videos for almost a year now starting before my first trip to Italy. I fell in love with everything about it and just wanted to say I give so much credit to you for being able to now say that I'm moving to Rome January 26th! Its still so surreal, but I've never been happier. I started bawling when I found out I got the job that I had interviewed for that is in Rome. I can't believe it's all happening and I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping me motivated by your posts, they meant the world to me throughout this process! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

[@girlnotlocal]

I agree, I'm very much like you in that sense, I could never be one of those people who wait an entire year for one trip to sit on a beach for a week and its over! I'm as a person very reckless and spontaneous, I never think twice, all I know is. "This is the life I want" when something is in my head, I have to do it now. 2 weeks ago I had an idea to go move to Mexico for a month or two, I just booked my flights and I leave after Christmas. I also left England after living there my whole life to get away from what I have known my whole life, I now have been living in Latvia and traveled all over Europe this year, and after I come back from Mexico, I'm moving to Canada. What's the point of life if you don't do anything with it right?. I think these factors come down to simple things 1. your a very bold person and don't see a loss as a result, you see a future and 2. you chose that in your life you didn't want to settle down, buy a home and have a mortgage to pay off and commitments. so it's easy to say goodbye to things without it putting a dent in your life. this life isn't for everyone and that's what makes us as humans special, were all different.

[@KylieFlavell]

Natasha Jerjomina thank you for such a detailed response. I agree with everything you've written. Particularly the part about "it's not for everyone and that's okay". I always like to caution that if you're not comfortable with instability it won't be a dream at all - it depends on your personality type. Some people's dream is to own their own house as soon as possible and I can see the beauty in this but it's just a different dream. 😊

[@charlz7112]

I thought of moving to England actually haha, you don’t like England anymore or you just need change ?

[@sarasal587]

I have so much love for Italy and Spain. I want to explore and live peacefully somewhere in the countryside. It is pretty difficult with my passport but I will try.

[@lucytansley3048]

I had this exact feeling Kylie when I first went on a girls holiday to Madrid. I simply fell in love with the city, from the first moment I saw it, until the last. I knew I had to move there, and I did in fact take just over a year before I made the move. I was able to secure work before I moved and so at the age of 23 I moved to my dream city! Now it's been 5 & 1/2 years and counting and I couldn't be happier with the decision I made! I'm so happy here, so settled. I love this city just as much as the first time I laid eyes on it and I feel so grateful and inspired by it's beauty everyday!

[@tinicoleofficial]

I love Italy so much. I might end up moving there when I get a little older

[@francescomauro6051]

I'm just so frustrated with my compatriots who after watching your videos they still judge you, complain about what you've said. She is really the image of what 'italianity' is, was for us, and maybe it'll be again thanks to people like this girl! We just keep telling us that to make Italy great again (cit. xD) we don't need anyone's help. Completely false, thanks to what make people come to live here we can understand what we need to do! Awesome channel by the way, love how you can catch the colours and the atmosphere of things you see! I'm very happy to have discovered your channel!

[@elkedavies1330]

Hi Kylie, I have just discovered your channel and I love it. This video alone verbalises exactly the reasons I want to live in Italy. I've been obsessed by it for over 30 years. I've travelled there 3 times but it's now time to live there and learn the language properly. Each time I arrive in Italia I feel like I'm home. People around me don't really understand this obsession, but as you say it is something so deep seated that if I don't follow it I know I will regret it. And if I don't do it soon, then when? It's so easy to procrastinate around money, job availability over there, etc etc etc. I'm now living by the mantra: there's no present like the time, and it's time to get moving. Elke

[@JuneK618]

Every time my doubts sets in about my decision to move to a foreign land, I always come back to this post. You are such an inspiration Kylie. I can’t thank you enough for inspiring me to go after my dreams! ❤️ I’m currently learning Greek and everyday I feel more at home here in Santorini. Yassou!

[@rishikinesis]

I never realized someone with almost the same yearning, same love to pursue their dreams (in similar field), same sense of belonging and most of all, the same calling from Italy would exist and even have a KZbin channel. Even though I don't have any connections to Italy in my family. I have an inner attraction towards the whole experience of living there from a long time. This video shows me that I am not alone in my pursuit of staying there working on my dreams. I hope to be there soon. Thank you. I really needed this. Subbed and followed. :')

[@dianasharonschenker7046]

[@storywala88]

Always a joy to see you and talking. Lovely, and practical.

[@onenation9510]

I love Italy too! I've cycled the length of Italy and it was one of the best experiences of my life! Despite the gorgeous food and beautiful architecture, it was the people I interacted with who were the most incredible! They wear their emotion on their sleeve and speak much more with body language than conservative England! I would have the most wonderful conversations just looking and gesticulating then falling into fits of laughter!!! They are not afraid to express passion whereas in England you are taught to be reserved or not get over excited. However, I'm practical and know the functionality of politics in the country isn't the most efficient or innocent so your suggestion to do a years research before you move to Italy or another country/place is great advice. I think, even in the most perfect location a person will have ups and downs in their life and the most important thing is to continue to learn and grow as a person wherever you live. I will saviour some of the things you said in that video as they were part of the deepest thoughts in my soul - "It's a country/place that takes hold of you and your feel a deep aching in your chest stomach, in your head. You are like a school girl/boy in love, just totally distracted!....."I wanted heightened stimulation where you could be surrounded by moments of beauty! Of course not everyday is going to be cinematic and gorgeous but I think the environment you live in does have an effect. If you can find something in this world that can make you feel that intensely how can you not explore it? How can you not try, to at least have more of it in your life?"

I was always thinking of going to Italy forever as I am 100% Italian but born in the U.S. There is nothing wrong with wanting to live in some special country. I know one day not to far, I will move to Italy and enjoy life to the fullest.

[@suecann3544]

I found your videos by accident but I think they are truly inspiring ! You have a very natural and friendly manner and your explanations of the language are easy to understand, so a huge thank you from someone who has struggled for years to learn italian ! Can I also say that you have to be one of the most naturally stunning girls I have ever seen ! (but you do make me feel old lol !)

[@VentureAHighway]

I admire your talents with video production and the willingness to do the things you aspire for. Your attitude about life is spot on

[@inbetwheens]

i'm empowered & very very hopeful ... and since i am in the process of saving up .... its also very nerve wracking !!!! but i am going for it !!!!

[@rahulchheda8964]

You are just speaking my heart, it feels like you are pouring my words out of your mouth.

[@MaxRiley]

I'm Italian and despite I wish her good luck, I think this video stereotypes and idealises my country quite a lot. Life is definitely harder here lately than just Tuscany, pizza, Ferrari, Vespa, arts, bella, mandolin and things like that.

[@KylieFlavell]

Massimo Cavalieri d'Oro Hai ragione - la vita non è facile qua. But as I say in this video, I have been happy here living in an apartment that had no windows and often no electricity and no flushing toilet while struggling to find a job and friends. I have lived in 9 different cities around the world and I can still say that for me there is more beauty in daily moments in Italy than anywhere else - despite the nepotism, corruption and unemployment.

[@andrianigeor]

oh my god .. the things you say at the beginning of the video about italy and how you feel about it,i found myself dreaming of being there. Its like you described me and how i feel about italy .. the language the people the country in general ! loved it

[@wklize]

I am from Rome, and I had to move due to the terrible work situation. I think rome's the best city in my heart, but living in italy is a daily struggle

[@santubhuiya17]

Wohhhh!! That smile brings happiness in lives all over the world!! Once again another great video kylie 😍

[@michellemarie1197]

My maternal grandfather was born in italy and then his family moved to new york and met my grandma who is dutch so regarding my maternal grandfather my mom and her siblings are first generation American, I've always wanted to visit there and someday i will, its very pretty.

[@marthaguevaram.1783]

Hopefully this situation with the "pandemic" will go away 😕 but I'm really exited motivated and inspired...❤️ 🙏

[@MissAnatance]

That video felt so good, thank you loads, beautiful Kylie. Trust me, I do appreciate the amount of work, both for the sewing and the editing. Congratulations, bella !! The landscapes are fantastic to watch, thank you so much for sharing. Much love and appreciaition your way from Paris, France

[@tut78]

Very inspirational video. I just got back from Italy...since the minute I left, I've bin wanting to go back. Love watching your videos 😘

[@liquidvelvet]

Oh my gosh! You are such a vibrant and lovely person! You totally re-infected me with my love and appreciation for Italy and its people and lifestyle! Mille grazie 💕

[@MichaelJohnson-]

I'm moving to Lake Como. It's a dream and feels like it would be home. I cannot wait.

[@alexjurgen6363]

So, I think some people misrepresent your effusive enthusiasm as shallow, but you love Italy because you love beautiful things and there is no more beautiful place on earth. I understand that! So I don't know if you are still responding to messages, but I am working on a screenplay with my writing partner about a sensitive young architectural grad who leaves his native NYC to establish a life in the country of his dreams - Italy. But the sudden revelation of Alzheimer's in his father's life forces him to have to choose between a lifestyle he has come to love or return home to take care of a father he has never known. So we are reworking a sequence on his tour and would love some input or anectdotes of life in Southern Italy if you are willing to share...I live in Northern Italy and I have never been further south than Rome - so I would treasure hearing some of your experience! You can PM on Facebook or let me know how to contact you.

[@miriamO212]

You are a light in the world and on KZbin! Thank you for sharing your story with us! 🌟

[@robertknull456]

La dolce vita, I have been to Italy twice. The 1st time I went was in 2010, as soon as I got back I applied for my Italian citizenship, ( which I have now ) I have been studying Italian for about 1 year!!

[@omricabaza]

it's a pleasure to make eye contact with you you truly achieved your purpose to speak to our hearts+ you're bellissima

[@marthaguevaram.1783]

Wow thank you! I'm going to travel too....! I love Paris.. But now I'm really spired by your videos...! I'm too going to start saving and work hard to save my money and then I will move to Italy...! ❤️🌷🌸🌷🌸🌅💛😉

[@TheRudespo]

Martha I have a solution for you that will help you to save money and time.......find an italiano .

[@kristinbrenkus7614]

Oh my gosh do I thank you for this video. I decided a few months ago I am going to move to Italy sometime in the next year or so. I've never been overseas so I can't wait to explore the wonders the rest of this world has to offer. Your spirit shines. Thank you for this. I'm looking forward to the part 2!! :)

[@KylieFlavell]

Kristin Brenkus I'm so glad you found it useful. Good luck with your plans! Hope you will tune in for part 2. 😊😊

[@kristinbrenkus7614]

Kylie Flavell I am looking forward to it. ☺️

[@lejanpetit4112]

[@syahmuse86]

My god, is there anyone in the comment section saying how joyfull this beautiful lady was?

[@LifePinkorporated]

I am in love with your courage to pursue your peace on a road less traveled. Positano absolutely touched my soul. Does the level of acceptance/tolerance of other cultures by its locals measure up to its breathtaking beauty?

[@katelala23]

omg "living constantly with the hope of something in the future that is going to make you happy.... what about now?" I live in the UK and I ABSOLUTELY hate it. What you said is how I feel everyday. Almost cried.

[@SVito-dp9jq]

Unless drastic change happens in Italy (or you have something very innovative) , you may not find much of a future there either. "The grass is always greener...."

[@gwynaethatwood-pettit6498]

I feel so grateful to have been born in San Francisco and to have grown up and live in Marin Country California! Tiburon,Ca near where I live looks like the Amalfi Coast!

[@daniele3290]

Dici che l'Italia ti manca, anche se la porti sempre nel cuore ovunque Tu vada....... Come Tu manchi all'Italia, perché mentre ti entrava nel cuore, Lei ha lasciato che Tu con piccoli passi e grandi sorrisi entrassi in punta di piede nella sua Anima…… per appartenevi per sempre ovunque Tu sia. Grazie per i bellissimi video. ;-)

[@KylieFlavell]

Daniele Esposito Danieeeeeeeeeele!!! Grazie di cuore! Sei unico!!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@PiratesLifeForMeee]

Your videos are so informative and beautiful - what a joy to watch! Thank you 😊

[@jeanneamato8278]

If you want it you’ll do anything (legal) to make it happen. My husband and I bought a 1200 year old house plus an olive farm in an area between Rome and Naples on the Mediterranean for not a lot of money. Rome is an hour away on train. Worth it.

[@TiffanyT-LaDolceVita]

Kylie, you are amazing! I have been to Italy 5 times by myself and I can relate to everything you are saying. I am in LOVE with that beautiful country. May I ask what kind of camera you are using? The quality is top notch. You are truly inspiring for so many! La Dolce Vita!
