- Hi Guys! I know you loved the interview with an expat where I sat down and chatted with Bonnie so I asked two of my favorite people, Justin and Micheal if I could interview them. Justin and Michael arrived to start their new lives in Scalea last May and I really wanted them to speak directly to you and tell about their experiences.

Pete and I have created an online video course that covers most things you need to know to purchase a home and move to Italy. You can access the course here: chrisellis24.clickfunnels.com...

What a beautiful example the gentleman makes of pushing through a physical challenge and embracing life. 🙏🏻😊
100% I love his attitude!
❤
How wonderful!. We hope to meet Justin, Michael and their mom when we are back in January.
A special note, I am visually impaired and cannot drive. negotiating stairs can also be difficult. We werr so happy to find Palazzo Incantato can be accessed without stairs. I can also walk to the piazza by myself to enjoy, friends, food, coffee, wine and fun.
We look forward to meeting you, as well. Hugs, Justin and Michael
We will all have a coffee or a meal together when Tabatha and Randy get here! Can't wait!
Oh my! I adore Michael and Justin. We met in the Piazza Italia in Santa Domenica Talao one day. They recognized me from your video and came over to introduce themselves. The joke is; Bonnie is famous via Chris and Pete. They are so kind, intelligent, humorous, and outgoing. I fell in love with them in an instant. This conversational interview builds on that favorable first impression. If they have a group that meets once a week, I want an invite! I can’t wait to meet Mom, and see the villa before and after. Hey ya’ll contact me because I’d love to take you to lunch. Ilenia and Gaetano are two of my favorite people in Scalea and hands down the best cannoli. She once posted to Facebook she HATES to see people eat cannoli with a fork and knife. Newcomer’s beware, don’t piss Ilenia off! Eat your cannoli with your hands. Yet another great interview hosted by Chris and Pete, the couple responsible for making me famous, if only in my own mind. Michael and Justin, practice your autograph signature, you are about to join me as an instant celebrity! ❤️🇮🇹
Hi Bonnie! Thank you! They are the best and I know their channel is going to be huge! They are so much fun! Yes Ilenia chastised me too for eating conolli with a fork! Bring a lot of hand wipes because they are big and sticky and soooo good! Let's all go get some!
Bonnie, you are a complete doll. And when we go to lunch with you (hopefully VERY soon), we hope that you are prepared, because we will be filming it for our channel. We loved our first meet with you, and will look forward to so much more time together. And we hope that you watch our channel. Please get our contact info (Whats App) through Chris. And of course, you are more than welcome at the weekly Scalea meetup.
@@MichaelandJustin I love and embrace this idea. I will be in toucans do everything I can to support your channel! Ciao
@@bonnieoliver219 Thank you! Baci baci!!!💋
Those 2 guys are so wonderful!!
Thanks Judi, Justin and Michael....
They are! We love them!
So nice to hear this conversation and their ability to get around with their Mum and mobility challenges. You see, you are the honorary Queen of Calabria, La Regina di Calabria! 👸🏼
Ciao Roberto e Rosa! Grazie mille! Love you guys! These two are amazing and I love their mom too. I am so happy the entire family will be here together!
Very interesting, especially regarding mobility, thanks.
You are welcome Fiona!
Excellent Chris...more of this!
HI Dan! Ok that is the plan! In early Spring people started arriving and now they are getting settled in. There will be many more videos coming!

living in Calabria, which most of my family and ancestors are from.. I was born in Argentina where my father moved from calabria.. a year after i was born he brought us to California. Where I've lived all my life... But i know i can at least have a home in Calabria i can stay for months at a time and retire Happy!!
I'd love for you to be my "homefinder"? Reach out to me, I'm so excited!

Hey these people helped me when I was there trying to find a place to eat, they also told me to go to the farmers market. They were actually really helpful. Thanks again to them !
Hey Cool! They are everywhere and they are the most kind and helpful people I have met. So glad you ran into them!
I really enjoyed this! What a great conversation!

Great discussion! Love seeing how people adapt to moving to Italy. Love happy stories.
Thank you B!
For us, it has been very easy to adapt to life in Italy.
That’s great 😃 to see beautiful people enjoying they life and I know is true because in my trip to Italy 🇮🇹 I felt the same way at the point that I think that i have to had another life in the pass because I feel like I am belong there. To unfortunately I born in Cuba 🇨🇺 with not Italian ancestor but was magical. And I never give up with my dream to buy my little something in there
Hi Yamirka! Thank you! There is definitely something here for you!
That was very positive and insightful !! They gave some good information on lving there. 👍👍👍 Thanks 🏆
Thank you Bill! Glad you found it helpful!
Excellent Interview! Very inspiring and so much good info to help 👍 those with mobility issues.
Hi Judy! Thank you! We will be doing more! Have you subscribed to Prego Italia? I love those guys!
Wish you had shown their place, given the price, and talked about the summer weather. Bet the nice balcony with a breeze keeps it from getting too hot. Where can I find a place like that?
Hi Richard! Stay tuned! This is a teaser for videos on their apartments which they are selling so they can move in with mom!
Fun and informative interview! Thank you all so much!
You are so welcome!
Nice video. I will be there in March to look around. This helped me a lot. My mom is 90 and uses walker. I was concerned she couldn’t get around. Thank you for info!
Hi Carol! We will definitely look for you and your mom!
@@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC thanks. I’ll be alone in March. Will contact you when I know which dates I’ll be there.
Very good interview.It's interesting that they bought sight unseen; a confidence booster for sure. Like you guys in the video, I cracked open my first bottle of Lemoncello and am enjoying it frozen.
Yes these guys are amazing! We love them so much! They are such an inspiration to so many people. OMG! Limoncello! I love it! It is great over ice cream! Be careful thought! It sneaks up on you!
What a great interview. These guys sound like such nice people and so very courageous to just up n move and chase their dreams an make them happen.💕 My partner has mobility issues as well and it’s nice to know that others struggle with some of the same issues. Our trip to Italy in 2019 was a challenge but we made it work and we rested a lot when there were stairs… oh the stairs in Italy! But it was sooo worth it. We have been at home for this whole pandemic but I’m happy to say we are finally venturing out and are headed to Hawaii for a month. Nervous, but need to go. Hope to get back to Europe soon. Love your channel and seeing all these beautiful apartments and homes. Thank you for showing them.
🇮🇹💕
Thank you for your kind words. Having the mobility issues that I have, I wanted to show that there are parts of Italy (such as Scalea) that are managable. Sure, I move slowy--piano, piano--but I am happy to be chasing this dream.
Thank you Bryan! I am so happy to hear you are out and about! Michel and Justin are an inspiration! Please go subscribe to their CZcams channel. they are so fun and entertaining! Micheal commented here and you can go follow his link!
@@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC thank you Cris. I just subscribed to their channel. Looking forward to more videos of all of you lucky expats in Italy. Ciao!!
@@MichaelandJustin my spouse has mobility issues as well and we did go to Italy in 2019 and we were so fortunate to have gone. We are in Hawaii currently and it’s pretty flat where we go so it’s doable for him but he still has to rest quite often. This is our first Trip out since Covid began. I’m envious of your courage to live your dream in Italy. What a lovely country. I’m sure you guys will have great adventures. I subscribed to live vicariously through you guys and super savy Chris.
@@bryanj7063 We are very grateful that you subscribed to our channel. We hope that you continue to enjoy the content we put out.
Great interview.
Thank you Janet! Glad you liked it!
Delightful!
Thank you Ana!
food is love
It is!
Ciao ragazzi! Somehow I just came across this video today even though I am a subscriber to both of your channels. I have previously mentioned how I also have a disability due to a spinal cord injury and can only walk for short distances at a time. I live in Firenze now, where I have my neighborhood all mapped out for places to sit when I need them. But in several months or so I would like to move to southern Italy and RIGHT along the sea. Thinking about Sicily or Calabria. Chris, do you help people find apartments to rent as well? I am searching for an apartment right along the sea, with a balcony or terrace with an unobstructed view of the sea. Also in a neighborhood with all the necessary services nearby. This is my dream. I'm working on trying to get an ER visa soon, which I know I'll have to return to the US to finalize. With estimated disability and VA benefits I would have about $2,100 per month and a nest egg of about 15K. I know that this is enough to live on but will a Consulate accept this for an ER visa? Any thoughts, tips, ideas, and possible apartment information would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps we may all be able to meet one day!?!? Allora, grazie mille a tutti 🙂❤ Paul in Firenze P.s. if you like you can email me at freitag5150@yahoo.com Ciao!
We really specialize in property purchase and renovation consulting only. For residency you need to be able to show 32K€/year passive income. I would recommend checking out www.idealista.it for places to rent in whatever area you're interested in. Hope to meet up with you if you're down here visiting or if we make it up to your beautiful city of Firenze!
Really love your content and I loved the interview - very inspiring! i'm a 38 old guy wanting to live in Italy. I have a EU citizenship, but i dont speak italian. how is it possible to find a job? what are my options? thanks in advance :)

@@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC thanks! I will email you ❤️
Hi guys I want buy a house in Kalabria this summer but tell me there is some job? What places is the best to live and work?
Is there a lot of Americans in scalea? I saw that there are a lot of Russian adds for real estate, so I’m just wondering where are most expats from ?
There is actually a large American "wave" that has arrived in Scalea very recently. There was a significant Russian influx about 12 years ago.
@@SuperSavvyTravelersLLC love your quick replies. Can’t wait to walk around town and meet you 😊
We very much look forward to that!

Yes, if you want to tick Ilenia off, the owner of Vularie Siciliane, eat your canola with a fork! She even commented to Facebook, her annoyance about people who eat it improperly! She is a lovely woman, but don’t use utensils.
LOL She flat refused to give me a fork but she did give me extra napkins!
