In this video, we bring you updates on our first 9 months of life in Italy and the important decisions we've recently made while adjusting our plans. It feels like we've lived 2 years in just 9 months!

We share details of our daily routine and how we dealt with the real challenges of the last month: the experience of using public healthcare without a Tessera Sanitaria (health card), how we obtained exemptions from exams at the ASL (Italian Health Authority), our registration with Terza Media (a golden tip for those seeking citizenship!), and our impressions of the job market through the Centro per l'Impiego (Employment Center) and employment agencies.

Furthermore, we finalized a crucial matter: our definitive decision regarding the Fiscal Exit and our investments in Brazil, and we explain the reasons behind this decision.

And, to conclude, we share some things that are making us reconsider the apartment we bought!

If you also dream of living in Italy, we hope our experience helps to clarify your own journey and your life in Italy. Remember: the true power of planning isn't about having luxury, it's about having the power of choice.
