What makes the Italian lifestyle so good?

[@claudiomaniero645]

I am from Italy and i’m glad you like the country, it’s not perfect but it has many beautiful aspects like historical places, traditions and mostly great food

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Yes Claudio! It is very nice .Nowhere is perfect but what is important are the people and the things that make life beautiful!

Hello Chris, this is Yettel, Allen’s wife we shared the same KZbin I am the one watching all your videos, and I have loved all of them, but specially this one. I hope that many of us here in US do the same you did. Our lifestyle here is all about work, there is never enough time, zero sense of community. If someone says hi to you we just think that person is very weird and we get scare… I hope to move to either Italy or Spain next year as we both work from home and can be pretty much anywhere. I prefer Italy, so I hope we can do that and maybe meet you. Please continue to do this it is great to see what you do and how many people you are helping and also I really enjoy the before and after house renovation… take care chao!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Hi Yettel! Nice to see you here! I would love to see you here in Italy enjoying the important things in life like community and beautiful moments. Here is hoping you come over soon!

[@wgarnsey]

Chris, much appreciated. I am stuck in the Bay Area and dreaming of my escape. I spent time in Macerata (Marche) as a teenager. I am so looking forward to getting back over and find my place in Bella Italia.

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Hi William! I am hearing some good news coming out of the European area. Ukraine has opened up to travelers with testing protocols much like those in Aruba. I was able to travel to Aruba but tested before I left and after I arrived. It is a great system. You quarantine until you get your test results and I got mine the next day. we are so hoping that Italy starts something similar.

[@kathiewalli8746]

I totally am on board with the slow food movement.....love this we are part of this now in our northern Ontario Canada town

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

This so great! I think we really have to go back to slow food. It is a true art form!

[@rebeccaga1983]

Such a beautiful and important realization, thank you so much for sharing. I’m completely in love with your channel and have started dreaming about the Italian lifestyle. Planning a trip soon :)

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

[@global001]

Oh gawd, I love your attitude, intelligence and humour.

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@brendaroxde6471]

Italians are the best dressed people in the whole world. Young and old . Even the old señoras are really lady like dressed. Italian people could wear expensive to cheap outfits : they are cool , smart and elegant. Also in Italy is the best country to shop either in the most expensive boutiques to casual open market. Chris, I’d really love to visit Calabria one day . I usually book our stays by Airbnb . Or do you have apartments for rent? for 2 persons ? In fact we are scheduled in Sept for 10 days to Amalfi Coast but our Airbnb in Sant’ Agnello decided to stay closed this whole year therefore they cancelled all reservation . Well , we re not sure though if we would proceed with this vacation , but after having watched plenty of your videos I feel like visiting your place instead of Amalfi in September, October or next year in May 2021 . If we could rebook our flight without extra big cost. We are from Vienna, Austria

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

So true! I love that aspect. They are a treat to see every day. Thank you for your comment.

[@kathiewalli8746]

WOW love your honesty

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Thank you!

[@chelseapw]

“A terrible mom” brought tears to my eyes... such a relatable feeling trying to balance school/work/mom. So happy to be a couple short months away from graduation :)

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Hi Chelsea It is so nice to hear from you again! I know what you mean. No matter how hard we try, we always wish we could do better. I like to think that just because we feel that, we are pretty good parents. Can't wait to see you in Italy!

[@Meggreene1111]

I bloody love you!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

I bloody love you too!

[@mariecuillier8788]

La dolce fare niente... slow food renaissance... I'm foodie, I make my food, I love olive oil, olives, good wine , cheese and coffee.. but I'm still in survival mode here. You are doing great things! ☺

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Thank you Marie! After creating my little Olive Oil course I am so addicted! The olive oils from Italy are so amazing and really make all the difference!

[@roadrunner956]

U totally right... "U are what u eat!", that's what old spaniards used to say... Talking about "modern" stressful, fast, race towards the so called "success in life" that's BS... people don't understand that they should slow down a bit since they won't take anything with them on the other side... All the best Chris!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Yes! Meals used to be a place where everyone sat down together and shared their thoughts. We need to get back to that. Thanks for your comment!

[@stompcity4085]

Spot on!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Thank you!

[@MySensualWorld]

God bless Italy! Viva Italy!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Yes! We love Italy!

[@JJOYIA]

I’m onboard with you! Gladly! Love it.

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Yes! Thank you!

[@gemmapatras5850]

i can relate with you!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Thank you Gemma!

[@followyourbliss973]

The art of enjoying life and living in the moment! It's not as materialistic over there!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Hi Richard! The Italians realize (And those who come to our channel apparently!) that there is so much to life that money can't buy.

[@janetlombardi2314]

Enjoying your videos. Scicily also is meant to be a lovely island to visit or live

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

From what I have seen it is stunning! I can't wait to go!

[@fairiesmagicmusic2613]

What an amazing story!!!

[@mschrisellis]

Thank you! I am so glad you liked it! Thank you for commenting too! I appreciate it!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Yes

[@pinocorreale9760]

Chris about forming a Club/Association of North Americans who have bought properties in Calabria. Good way maybe to meet and share ideas and learn together!!!!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

YES Let's do it!

[@laurenschultz9781]

Love 🙏❤️❤️ this video

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Thank you Lauren!

[@Faben202]

Dammit, lady, I’ve been considering Portugal and Spain as possible retirement locations but now you’re making me consider Italy as well. THANKS. 😂 Love the video, thanks for sharing your story.

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

LOL! You are welcome! Plus we would love to see you there!

[@lauratracy3261]

I can't even imagine the fear of your son missing in San Jose. We had a student run away from our school here in rural Idaho, and several of us drove around for hours looking for him. It's pretty safe here. How scary for you!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Yes it was ridiculous. The school was like "Hey, we lost a special needs kid last week and he turned up so what are you upset about?" It was surreal.

[@MegaEsky]

I love to listen you and want to live without rushing a life, thank you. I will try to take your advices, God Bless you.

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Hi Erena! Thank you I am so glad you find it helpful. My mission in lief is to make things better for people and give them what they need to improve conditions around them. I am so happy you found us!

[@leyvincastillo6635]

You are so amazing! ❤️

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Thank you! And thank you for watching!!

[@00pisani49]

we dont need to eat fast food in Italy because our food is so simple and quick to make

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

So true! Everything is delicious!

[@PhoenixBeI]

Loved the story, and glad you got out of the rat race. What happened to your kid happened to me once, but I was the child! Lol! My mom too had a stressful career (she was a VP of sales in the 70s in Ecuador. Women didn't really work back then, but my mom was a high level executive.), and she simply forgot to pick me up after I got back to school from a filed trip. Fortunately we knew some people who lived near the school so I went to their home. :) You always talk about how welcoming people were to you. I am uncertain if this would be our case since we are lesbians. Italy is known for its homophobia, especially in the south. What have you seen regarding this? Have you seen couples hold hands in public? How about public displays of homophobia?

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Hi Marta, Thank you! I am so sorry that happened to you as a kid. No one should go through that. It was awful as you know!

[@PhoenixBeI]

@@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC I wasn't scared. I think parents freak out more than the kids in these instances. :)

[@mschrisellis]

This project will launch soon!

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Yes

[@ManMartin]

I am sorry if you all disagree, but i think this is related to the new feminism that they make you to achieve a high company position. I mean make you to believe you must to provide money and forget the important role to be a woman, providing care, love and compasion to the family.

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

There are a lot unrealistic expectations set up by women's magazines especially. It can be hard not to buy into the false illusions they create.

[@treymarrs6860]

What's the best website for finding a house in italy?

[@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC]

Hi Trey, My favorite is Idealiste.it. They seem to have the best selection of properties in all areas whereas some sites only have a portion of them.

[@angelaberni8873]

@@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC I have a fabulous house for sale in Italy if you wish to sell it for me. We are in the province of Parma in a beautiful mountain region,bordering Liguria and Tuscany. The villa lends itself perfectly as a small boutique hotel or b&b. It's a 5 minutes walk to the small town centre. Everyone is extremely friendly and their festa's are fabulous. The villa has had many local artisans working on it and many features are truly magnificent.

I don't think Italian people agree; Italy is not that paradise you depict.
