ABOUT:
Hi! I’m Valeria — a writer, content creator, and the visionary behind Dramatically Expatic. With a background in TV, where I hosted my own program (think a bit more formal than my current YouTube adventures), I now thrive on the dynamic and creative freedom of the web. As an expat in Italy for eight years and counting, I hold a BA in Theatre and Film Studies and an MSc in Media Organisation from the University of Bologna. I have always had a huge passion for discovering new places, having traveled all around the world since I was a child, so there were no second thoughts when searching for my niche. Here I share my best advice on visiting Italy, budget travel tips to Italy, and all things living in Italy entails!

I was 7 days in Firenze and even I was at Sant’Ambrogio market, unfortunately i wasn't at supermarket.. SO, I CAN WAIT FOR THAT VIDEO
Nice intro to the cost of Florence. I have signed up for your guide. I have just moved to Italy, 30 km south of Livorno (for now), Only 2 hours train ride to Florence, guess I will go next week.
Great video! I especially appreciate the coffee insights. I'm in Newport, Rhode Island in the United States. One of the issues we have with internet is that it is very deregulated. As a result most people in the US only have one provider to choose from. In the state of Rhode Island that's Cox Communication. There are no other providers. I pay $50 a month for basic service and that includes the use of the modem. We can't buy it, it just gets returned when you leave though you have to pay if it breaks and it's your fault. When I lived in Texas it was a similar situation with AT&T.
Oof , I pay 1.4 for cappuccino every morning. Wine 6 a glass.. We llive in Santo Spirito .

Italy is being weather engineered, the view is dreary.
I’ll take Italy or the USA anytime
Hope you're well! I'm a professional YouTube thumbnail designer, passionate about creating thumbnails that are engaging and perfectly reflect your brand. I can prepare a sample thumbnail for you to see. If you like it, we can talk about future projects. I'm eagerly waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance!
Why did you decide to leave Bologna and live in Florence?
Good video. I guess Florence will be more expensive. 😊
Curious if you speak Italian or have learned. I've been trying to learn and it's super hard.
