'Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire'

​

My husband and I are living as expats in Parma since June 2016. Everybody is always talking about how important it is to integrate in the country where you live in. However, we realize that - at the end - this process is not that easy as expected. 

 

Italian is a beautiful language, una 'lingua cantate' but not that easy to learn. I long for a fluent conversation, but my vocabulary is still too limited to have in depth conversations. I made all kind of really embarrassing mistakes (and I still do😊) but I learned from it and at the end I could laugh with these funny situations.

 

We do not regret that we moved to Italy. It's very interesting to meet new people and explore new cultures. But on the other hand I have definitely gone through my own personal ups and downs adjusting to a new way of living in Italy.
