In this episode of Armchair Expat, I sit down with freelance writer and editor Nicole “Ziza” Bauer, who shares her journey of moving to Italy and building a new life abroad.

Ziza talks about the lifelong dream that led her to Italy, her experience navigating the dual citizenship process, and how she used manifestation, intuition, and practical planning to make her move happen. We dig into the logistics of moving abroad as well as the mindset shifts, identity changes, and moments of trust that unfold along the way.

Whether you're looking to move to Italy, become a freelancer abroad, or simply curious about how to live and work in Italy, this conversation covers it all.

Ziza’s story is both inspiring and grounding—a reminder that moving to Europe isn’t always quick or easy, but it is possible with clarity, persistence, and trust in your own timeline.
