    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.

    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 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.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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  7 років тому +14

      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. 😘😘😘

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

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!

    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 -

    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.

      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. 😊

    Your words bring me so much inspiration. I just turned 30, I live in California and last time i visited Italy, i felt such connection with that country. There's so much wisdom in how you see life and i plan to adopt that kind of thinking and move to Italy hopefully in 2 years. Thank you.

I was planning on going this April but my flight got canceled due to the pandemic. Hopefully, once things go back to normal, i will be able to spend a whole month over there😍😍😍.

    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 UA-cam 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. :')

Do people even notice?!" It is a sickness, like being lovesick - and you don't really know where you picked it up from or why you're not cured after so many years but you don't care!! 😍😍😍 Part 2 is now online.

    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!

I know one day not to far, I will move to Italy and enjoy life to the fullest.

  • @onenation9510
    @onenation9510 4 роки тому +1

    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'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.

      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.

    @elkedavies1330 7 років тому

    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
