PART 3 COST OF LIVING IN ITALY AS AN EXPAT: Move to Rome, Florence, Tuscany, Italian Villages

- Welcome back to my series on how to move to Italy and the cost of living in Italian cities and towns, such as Rome and Florence. In Part 1 I looked at finding an apartment and the cost of accommodation. In Part 2 I discussed weekly grocery shopping and food costs. In this episode I share with you advice for monthly costs as an expat - expenses such aa phone, wifi, eating out, weekend trips, etc. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

As an ancient historian, I loved that your example of an Audible audio book was Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Great book!
World of Antiquity I just LOVE that book. Incredible to think that such a wise and humble man was in such a position of power. His wisdom transcends time and culture and, astoundingly, holds as much relevance today as it did back then! 😊
@@KylieFlavell Definitely. It's rare to get something so personal in an ancient work, much less a Roman emperor! There is something soothing about it.
@@KylieFlavell dovresti leggere "Le Memorie di Adriano" della scrittrice di Marguerite Yourcenar
I was in Italy for three months and was so disappointed when I had to leave. I would love to find a stable job there one day where I can get sponsored or enroll in school for a visa and live out my Italian dream! I love your videos. I look forward to watching all of them! Stay safe!
I am pleased that you enjoyed yourself so much while you were here, but remember that visiting a place (even for three months) is not like living there. Living in Italy can be difficult-there is very little work available here even for Italians.
You can enroll in universities from abroad and there are courses entirely in english that gives you a visa and a scholarship
@@sarapaolollo8634 Please, PLEASE do you have a link or resource for this?
@@michaeljohnangel6359 that sounds similar to hawai'i. there is little to no work here and locals work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. it's paradise for outsiders until they realize that majority of hawaiians and locals work to live and live to work... and don't live the paradise life 24/7.
Kylie you’re such a star for staying up all night in hopes of getting this video to us as promised. We would have understood if it didn’t happen but you persevered and we love you for it. Sitting down to eat breakfast and watch a new Kylie video - what a great way to start the day! ❤️☕️🥐
Brooke Oh would you believe that at 3am on the phone with AppleCare support I was actually thinking about YOUR comment on Instagram of wanting to watch it with your breakfast. It’s such a compliment to me when people schedule me into their day that I hate to be so inconsistent!!! 🤦🏼♀️👩🏼💻
@@KylieFlavell Kylie, when ever you post a video were your fans I don't mind waiting it will be worth it.
Kylie, I just love your videos. My wife and I have been to Italy twice. Her mother was from Pesaro. One cousin, Claudia, lives in Rome.
The audacity of NY having such high cappuccino prices when the coffee doesn't even taste good
NY is the most over-rated place on planet earth. I know I have lived here my entire life 55 years!
Here in Italy tastes better
Nothing to do with the quality of the coffee and everything to do with the rent....but I get the humor...
You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

Loving the music you’re adding to your videos. Listening for hours each day, while working from home. Can’t wait to travel again.
So glad I joined . It’s so great to see it all ! I’m moving in 2 and a bit years and so appreciate everything you have commented on -incredibly useful 🥰
I love your honesty and thoroughness of this video. You go over all those little things we may not have even considered but are so important and great to know. Thank you for taking the time xo
Your choice of music for the video is outstanding balance of harmony and abeinace. I've been to Sydney Australia also lovely place. Your a heck of a young lady. Thanks for sharing your life and times with those that watch your channel. Outstanding job.
Bellissima! Back at it again with another beautiful video. Thank you so much Kylie , you're amazing xx
Well done, Kylie. You are both very informative and encouraging. Keep up the great work!
Having been raised in Europe my favorite country to vacation in was Italy. I would enjoy seeing you "act" like a tourist and visit, and film, some of the sites of the cities you visit or live in. They all have so much history and beauty.
I love your videos Kylie! I love your kind and sweet soul! I discovered your channel only a few weeks ago and I found myself crying and laughing together many times, feeling you so close to my spirit and my way of perceiving the magic of life! So much joy to you! Grazie mille per condividere la bellezza in ogni sua sfumatura... un abbraccio dalle colline di Fiesole, Eleonora!
Eleonora Giovannini Wow, thank you sweet Eleonora!! I’m so glad you feel connected to my work. It’s such a rewarding thing for me to read after being up all night debating with AppleCare about my troublesome computer! 😴🤪🙏
So helpful and interesting to hear the differences of living in Italy compared to other locations! Things like fast internet we take for granted in many places and these utilities add up quickly! It's really admirable that you've thrown yourself so completely into a new culture and I truly appreciate your vulnerability in sharing the pros & cons of challenging yourself this way. I love traveling alone because it makes us stronger and more independent women and I can't wait to be able to see Italy some day! This year has been quite a difficult one so these videos have been a wonderful ray of sunshine. You're amazing - take care!!! 💕💕
Brava Kylie! You are a life teacher. These videos are an informative visual gift-- you inform & inspire! You would be an amazing lifestyle consultant for expats relocating to Italy 🇮🇹.You could make a foreigner feel prepared and comfortable and still preserve the native Italian culture by helping expats respect and assimilate into an elegant Italo/European way of life.💋
Lovely slice of life as always. When I was about to move countries, I found it oddly comforting in the process of sorting out all of the logistical aspects of my new life. It's of course challenging, but in a way there's a blue-print for it, I knew I could get an apartment/cell phone/health insurance sorted eventually, but I really struggled building a social life from scratch, and I appreciate how open you've been with your experience. I can't believe I haven't found your videos sooner-the algorithm is really doing a disservice. Avec amour de Paris!
Jo's Not Home Yes, I’m exactly the same. Thank you so much for your kind response. 🙏
Dear beAutiful soul, you are the only true INFLUENSTER out there. Soo many people Try to do that but don' t have your talent and natural but also cultivated ability to inspire, motivate and actually teach. THANK YOU!😋🥰ALL THE BEST
Karolina Eigenmacht This is such a compassionate thing to write. Thank you for making me feel so appreciated.
Stoped my life to watch yours with pleasure. Made coffee and watched the video and it felt like I was there with you.☕️😎 Yes, to the dressing, please .
Hello Kylie, I'm really enjoying learning about Italy and especially enjoyed your video from Positano. So beautiful there! You have a gentle spirit and a nice energy about you. Always inspiring, someone who follows their dream!!
I just want to say, thank you so much, for these series on how to move to Italy ...it was so inspiring to me! Have a good week!!!
Maria Nunes thank YOU for watching, Maria! 🌸
I'm addicted to watching your videos because I went to live in Italy, including Florence, aged 21/22 as a student in 1988! Miss it so much!!
Hi Kylie
Just discovered your wonderful videos series and I am loving watching them! I love your views of life and also your practicality. I especially love your grace and aesthetic . Thank you so much for doing what you do. 💖
So wonderful to hear your experience through your beautiful content, thank you for sharing and in such a genuine manner. I’m looking into moving to Italy with my husband and two young boys. All your tips help more then you know.
I had my hair done just the way you described once in a Greek island and I totally agree with you! Thanks for your valuable information!
I'm not planning to move to Italy, but always end up watching all your videos about it. Amazing and inspiring! Thank you Kylie 🌸
Vanessa Morgado 😘😘
I found your channel a few days ago and love how informative and natural the content is!!! It also reminds me the days I lived in Venezia. Looking forward to seeing you cook with Italians at home😁
its always a pleasure watching you, your so real and true to your word, its such a beautiful thing to see.
I will probably never get to Italy but im enjoying your experience you share. thank you sweet lady.. 🌸✨💚
Kylieeee thank you so much for all your videos!! It’s such a great influence and I am always happy watching your videos! ❤️ you are a big inspiration for me. Thanks for your work. 😘 Love from Germany!
The style and the moving of the camera shows that Under Tuscan Sun has inspired/shaped your life choice. Talk about breakfast choices in Italy is fantastic. I have finished my postgraduate studies in Turin and Pavia. Enjoy your life and wish you all the best.
Thank you Kylie I love to live in Italy all my life. I am from Quebec your 3 videos about living in Italy has been so helpful. My passion is cooking, travelling and helping people. Love all your videos I have lived in Australia and Asia and my husband is Greek and a photographer loves your videos. Thank you again.
Love the video! I am not planning a move to Italy but to Brasil.
The best part of the video imo is when you talk about mental health. Even a strange and stable mind needs it.

Kylie, you are a natural beauty! You are an absolute JOY to the world! Big hugs from Brooklyn. 🤗
NinoBK So sweet - and what a lovely smile you have! Even with the tiny picture you seem so bright and kind!
I would love to see a video about the fashion in Italy! I really love to shop sustainably and buy locally! When I visit Italy next spring, I would love to know some authentic options! thank you so much for all the time and hard work you put into these videos! just wanted to let you know that we all appreciate it 💕
Wonderful Kylie! Thank you for sharing the precious memories of your Mummy with us - she was so beautiful on the outside and clearly on the inside too. Really enjoyed this film and yes it would be good to know how to 'blend in' clothes wise Italian style - I always wear too much black! Keep safe and hope you are well and happy x
miss Nicoli Thank you 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Kylie, love your efforts you are comprehensive. Most of all you teach that if you want something badly enough, you teach how to go after what you want in life. That it can be done and here’s what it will take. You seem to live a charmed life ...but not without major effort, that if can be had. Most of this comes from from knowing oneself and then you provide the know how. You’re an inspiration...
On a side note, have you given any though to, if it is not to much hassle to helping students learning Italian for you to sub-title in Italian as you speak. I follow you on CZcams and Instagram. You are a beautiful individual and I hope you reach all your goals...Gene
Great video! I love learning what it costs to live in different parts of the world! I'm a large proponent of travel hacking to lower some of those expenses. Thanks for sharing, keep it up!
Kylie, I've only recently discovered you online and I'm blown away by your stunning films. You are incredibly generous in all the insight you provide and you're giving this fellow Australian hope that my Italian dream is still within reach (although Crazy Corona has put it temporarily on hold). Mwah!
Thank you for your realism, Kylie❣️. YES I would love to see an Italian fashion video!!!!
Thank you, thank you for posting! We will be moving to Italy in some way one day. Your posts give me inspiration!
Your parents must be amazingly proud of such a unique, hard working, resilent and beautiful daughter.x 😊
Beverley Roberts You’re so sweet, Beverley. ♥️

I like how you divvy your finances out. Most people just spend as much as they can on everything but you save the most for your home environment, eat fresh foods & bicycle. The thoughtful choices you make are so healthy & make complete sense!
New to your Chanel. Very detailed and informative. Not planning on living there, but when I visit, I will be ready. I am happy I am subscribed to you. I love the background music. And love the pictures of the sites you included.. Have a beautiful Saturday. Thanks from New Jersey USA!
Love your way of thinking and your way of life!
I have to just thank you for this video. The amount of time and effort you devote to making not only beautiful, but QUALITY content is so appreciated on this end. So much detail and clarity - the investment in your work does not go unnoticed. Thank you so much! Much love.
So lovely to have another video from you and this is so useful and informative. A lovely treat on a wet, grey and cool day in the UK!
Ann Brosnan 🙏🙏😘😘
Kylie, you are so professional the way you film your videos. But more importantly you are interesting and have a lovely voice to listen to. Your information is so well put across. Looove the scenery in your videos! and the music! I am now constantly singing Dean Martin's In Napoli! 🇮🇹🌳🌴🌻🏵🌹🍕🏖 Thank you for all your amazing efforts.x 😊
You are amazing and inspiring! Thank you for this in-depth profile on what it takes to move to Italy.

Hi, I find your videos about about moving to Italy so insightful. Thank you for all the information. I currently moved to Australia and I am thinking of moving to Italy in the near future and your videos are so good and giving me so many tips for my next journey. Thank you Kylie!

Great video Kylie! I would also LOVE to see a “How to dress like an Italian” video. I’m a 51 year old male and any tips would be REALLY helpful! 😊
Another beautiful video, packed with with so much logical information and put across in your unique class and style. 🇬🇧👍

I am glad it was your computer that had problem and not you. I honestly got worried but so happy to hear your beautiful soothing voice. I love your sense of honesty. 💚
Zahra G how compassionate you are. Thank you!!!
Brava Kylie! ti seguo da qualche tempo: mi piacciono il tuo stile fresco ed elegante, la tua gentilezza e la tua franchezza :)
Back behind the scene again
Beautiful and professional as always
Ciao Kylie, I just discovered your channel and omg thank you so much for sharing your experience and all the useful info in such a beautiful and inspiring way. ❤I finally decided to move to Milan from London and can't wait to live la dolce vita and enjoy my time in this lovely country. All the best, Marta ✨
I really enjoy your material here on youtube. Very little in common, being about become retired with a loosely formulated plan to move to Italy and play chess at a small piazza, smoking my pipe and having yet another doppio macciato or glass of wine, but still your info and photage is just so good. Thanks ever so much 😊👍
You did an amazing job with this mini series
Wow, wonderfull woman, u mentioned so many good aspects. Thank u. One of the best content concerning to live in Italy.
I m glad that I had my daily dose of You,.Thank you for this.
Bravissima Kylie!
Ammiro la tua grinta 💪👍🏻
Unsurprisingly, I loved this video so much! Thank you for this mini series about moving to Italy-they have been so helpful and informative. I've always been fascinated with the country, and you have been such a huge inspiration in deciding to venture out into the world and move there in the near future (even if it's only for a while aha). Also I just wanted to say that you are so talented at what you do and it is so refreshing to follow you as you remind me to keep living for the simple moments, so thank you for all your hard work :)
Beexx48 Ahhhh thank you so much!! 😘😘😘
Kylie, thanks for this mini series! So helpful! I would personally love to see you upload a video on how to blend in as a female and not seem as a foreigner. ❤️
Che bel video! Complimenti! I have just found you and I can’t wait to know more about you. I love the pictures, the settings, your voice and your sweet demeanor. I know you will be very successful. I am in south of Italy right now.😘😘
Beautiful as always Kylie! I am an American youtuber /filmmaker living in France but I am moving to the island of Corsica in a few months and I am so excited to learn Italian as I’ve heard Corsica is closely connected to Italy!! Italy is my absolute favorite country and It’s so close to Corsica. I’m hoping to make many trips to your beautiful country and eat all the delicious food - thank you for all the real and honest tips on cost of living!
Simple Joys thank you!!! Yes, I imagine life on Corsica will be very similar to many of the Italian islands nearby! 😘
Pasquale Paoli, called "Homeland's father" by Corsicans, wrote in 1768:
"We (Corsicans) are Italians by birth and feelings, but first of all we feel Italian by language, roots, customs, traditions and all the Italians are all brothers for History and for God.... As Corsicans we do not want to be slaves nor "rebels" and as Italians we have the right to be treated like all the other Italian brothers.... Either we'll be free or we'll be nothing.... Either we'll win or we'll die (against the French) with our weapons in our hands...."
I live in Italy and love France very much
I am sorry to inform you that Corso in not Italian , it was a dialect and now it is considered a separate language with its own characteristics , the language is not alive and well , most children do not learn corso as a first language and you will have no peer pressure to learn it, an Italian would have some hardship understanding corso at his first exposure to the language , obviously it is very close to Italian , but you'll never learn it just by living in Corsica since even new generations of Corse people don't know it and had to learn it at school .Basically the corse language is kept alive for cultural reasons , and it's like Irish gaelic
@@Caleidus YEa h in 1768 now they speak French and act like French , they didn't die and they are almost completely Frenchified
Ugh Kylie !! Your videos give me life and keep me grounded, thank you ! 🤍
Great information as always Kylie. Thanks!
24:45. I've already become a huge fan, but I think it is so beautiful that you are not speaking to a specifically young audience. You are such a gem. I love your energy and am really appreciating what you are sharing.
Part three and still enjoying superb videos. Bravo.
Thank you so much for such an informative videos, kylie. You’re always giving us the best! Oh I wonder how much you miss your homeland Australia. Looking forward for your coming back to home vlog, when you decided to
Kylie One more!! ypurs videos are great love loveloveit Thank you for being so genuine!!!
E' molto generoso da parte tua a condividere la tua esperienza con noi. Grazie.
It is really good video informative..I have been to Italy two times Rome and Milan but your video make me to plan exploring more..I might come end of this year..cheers
Thank you so much for this series. I am old enough to be your mother but still find your experience so inspiring. I am at a point in life where, for so many years now, it's as if I have no life; I'm not even living. I spent two weeks in rural Southern Italy house-hunting in 2018 and have been obsessed with moving there and creating a new beautiful life ever since. For me, my biggest fear is being older and not having - or knowing how - to create an independent online source of income. Your videos are so lovely and you are such a charming, beautiful, and gentle soul. I once wanted to be a writer, and wrote poetry. I've lost all the things I once loved: literature, poetry, flowers, nature, books, art; all of these have been lost to an endless grind of soul-sucking meaningless work, crime and endless wildfire smoke, traffic and worse, here in California. I actually hate it here so much! Anyway, you remind me of a younger version of myself, when I was full of dreams and hope. All the best to you, Kylie.
Yes please! A video on how to dress Italian and what are the basic pieces of an outfit there :) love you girl your videos are magical 💜
Hi Kylie just discovered your Channel all the way from here in Africa ! I’m a busy Tanzanian Mom of 3 sons currently living in Angola-Africa (and I adore your vlogs). Stay as beautiful as you are! Keep up the hard work to entertain and educate us of other countries across the world especially during this pandemic when everyone is going through a tough time across this universe! Bravo Pretty Lady ❤️. Asante Sana !!
LaineeDiana Webb Wow! Thank you so much for making time for me in your busy schedule! Sending love to Tanzania!! ♥️♥️♥️
Kylie Flavell always my pleasure to support wonderful and dedicated channels like yours Kylie ❤️Hope you are keeping safe! Goodnight From me here in Africa gorgeous
Thank you so much for all this wonderful and important advice!
Thank you for sharing all these details. Your list is very thoughtful and Yes please to the video of dressing as Italian.
OMG, I can sooooooo relate when you talk about the costs of going out with friends! This is years ago now, but I used to hate that I ate something simple, no drinks, but still had to pay for a (for me, considering) gigantic bill divided up evenly. And I was upset not because I was strapped for cash, but because I didn’t think it fair to have to pay for something I didn’t consume. And nobody gave it a second thought. Now that may make me a scrooge (which I don’t think I am), if yes, so be it.
Wonderfully useful information Kylie!! Thank you!
The Sistine Chapel, Michael Angelo’s David, The Coliseum, Capri, Napoli, The Spanish Steps, The Trevi Fountain, The Costa Liguria, The canals of Venice, The Tuscan Country Side, The Blue Grotto, Gelato, The Bellini, and the lovely Kylie Flavell. Sigh.......
Who's Micheal Angelo? The brother of Raffa Ello?
And Brother di Leo Nardo Vinci tore
Dont mention the canals of Venice as a marker of excellence. Admit it for what it is - polluted and trashy. As soon as that can be admitted, we can start working on fixing it.

OMG your videos are so nice. Thank you for live in Italy and be part of the golden sunshine that our lovely country give us. You really catch the essence of living la Dolce Vita in the most positive way. Sei adorabile e tutti i millenials dovrebbero prendere esempio
Thank you for ALL your useful information and delivering it with your beautiful smiling soul. I love Firenze and I had lived there for 3 years but many years ago. It was everything I had hoped it would be. I learned Italian very quickly and have maintained it even though is has been more than 20 years ago. Hope to go back to Firenze next year and relive my youth. Keep up the good work grazie bella...........🤗🇨🇦
Thank you 🌻 This gives me hope and determination to give my old dreams of living abroad life again! Grazie
Ciao! Well done. My wife and I love Italy, having spent many weeks of vacation there these past few years. Plan to get a visa to stay longer in a couple of years when we retire. This was very helpful.
Another well thought out and filmed video. Not sure I will ever be able to live in Italy but love hearing all the particulars. And see those price comparisons ! I’ve lived in some of the American cities that are so much more expensive.
Thank you for making your post personal and pragmatic. I've been working on Italian citizenship for more than five years and have lost heart more than once. I qualify through my grandparents.
Moving to Italy is still a dream. I watched with great interest your interview with the avvacato from Firenze. This is helpful content...... keep at it. Salute
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Very well done!
Dear Kylie, every video you post is an inspiration and all so nice made! Congrats and continues please sharing your gorgeous smile with us ...!!!!!!!!!!1
Grazi, ammo tutti suoi videe..mi sento in Italia una volta piu!
I always respect and appreciate foreigners who come to Italy and fall in love with the beauty of the country. This is a big contrast with many italians who are always negative and often disrespectful towards their country because they take all the good things for granted.
You have come a long way Kylie, when I first saw your vlog I thought I know this girl and then I remembered from the food Chanel I think when Patrick loved Kylie ??? Anyway I’m thrilled for your success and you have obviously worked very hard to get where you are now.....congrats......Donna in Toronto
