Thank you for all your kind words and shared stories, folks! 💛

Don't be discouraged. I moved to another country in my 40s , started from beginning. You are young, fabulous and so, so brave. It's a challenge but you will make it. Guarantee.

You got this gal. I also studied law (in Scotland funnily enough, altho I’m from NI) and some people are very confused when it comes up that I have a degree in law but don’t want to pursue it further. Other people who studied it seem to understand completely tho 😅

Bravo! I admire your moxie. It is hard enough to find employment in your home country, where you are fluent in your language. Yet, the challenge of finding employment in a country where you are not as fluent in the language of that country as those who are native speakers makes the effort to attain employment that much more difficult. This is why I applaud immigrants, who go to any nation that speaks a different language than the one they were raised in. It takes a special strength of character and adventurous spirit to meet such a challenge. It maybe partly that crucible that makes the immigrant experience so inspirational, and it is probably the reason that, provided there are ample opportunities and lack of discrimination, why immigrant communities are so rife with success stories. Surmounting this language hurdle forges a resilience like none other. I wish you all the best in your employment endeavors!

Thank you for such kind words. I also have a newfound admiration and respect for anyone who has moved country, for any reason. It’s truly like wiping your slate clean and starting again, which is very humbling and challenging as an adult. I hope I can keep the motivation up haha!

Why are you so mesmerising to watch! Rooting for you, watching with hope and a small bit of jealousy as your life seems amazing already.

I've been living in Italy for almost 7 years now and the job related stuff was hard from the beginning. Starting almost from zero despite university degree and previous work experience made me feel like I was moving backwards. Now I'm doing a second degree in an unrelated field because I feel that a national diploma is worth way more than my foreign one. Greetings from Bolzano!

If I spoke the language well enough, I’d love to do a few months in Italy, but I think I’d miss England/UK too much to ever leave permanently. It’s a great opportunity, though! I’m currently job hunting in London and that’s been challenging enough. I believe since filming this video you’ve found a job, so congrats :)

As a person who moved to another country to find better job opportunities, I would like to telle you that it will all be worth it in the end. I know it is nerve racking and mentally exhausting when job hunting but you will get a job you really love. It needs lots of patience and perseverance but it will all work out eventually. Sending lots of positive energy and wishing you the very best of luck xx

Thank you for sharing this honestly it helps people like myself feel less alone, I relate a lot to this in a slightly different way. I’m currently in the UK my partner & I are applying for a perm visa for australia but it’s taking alot longer than we thought, so it’s hard to stay motivated tbh at times. I’d love to just move to another country until we get the visa. Maybe could you do a vid at some point about the visa uour on for Italy or the journey you went from Scotland to deciding to move to Italy?

These things seem to take FOREVER in every country! As far as I understand, post-Brexit, moving to Italy can be done through work permit, study permit, or through family connections. Otherwise, Brits have to leave the country after 90 days. I spoke a bit more in detail about it here (but let me know if you have more questions and I can try to help!): kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zaymycusf9XJnLQ.html

I'm enjoying your content so much, especially as I am in a similar situation as an American expat in the Netherlands. I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in this strange, anxiety-ridden job struggle :) I was working for a Dutch NGO and it was a complete disaster, so I decided to go back to my culinary roots and am working as a baker here in NL. I think it's great you are pursuing it! I'm not sure if you've worked in a kitchen before, but just a word of caution -- I do think baking as a profession is overly romanticized. It's extremely physically taxing and can be very monotonous. I really don't say that to discourage you, because I do love what I do. I moreso say it to remind you to take very good care of yourself -- drink your water, go to bed early, and eat well so you can continue to create great content and avoid burnout. Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing your story too - the immigrant life is not for the faint of heart haha! I appreciate the advice, and it’s absolutely true. I’ve worked in a couple of small kitchens when I was younger. It’s always physically demanding, but after years of deskbound screen-staring I’m ready to tackle it again if anyone will let me!

NICE VIDEO

If you’d be AT ALL interested in being a native speaker in a school, that might be a good option (to get started)

That's one of the disadvantages when you move to another country... You are a university graduate and it's a shame you are regarded an inexperienced worker now...I really find it unfair because, besides law school studies and practice, you are a witty person and probably you will have to compromise with something inferior to you competence...Of course you never know what happens next and you have to discover it ! Just saying....
