EP3: From Russia to Italy: The Love of the Italian Language and Culture

In this episode, I talk with Sonya about what it’s really like to move from Russia to Italy. We cover everything from language struggles to cultural curveballs—plus what surprised her most about Italians. We also dig into what it feels like to be an expat, the weird differences between life in the US and Italy, and how travel restrictions have shaped our lives in unexpected ways. Sonya shares some solid advice for Russians thinking about traveling or moving to Italy, and we both reflect on the weird privilege of being English speakers in a world that caters to us way more than most people realize.
