She's hilarious. The lunch at 2pm. ahahahhaah "I wish it was deeper than that."

'Financially it's better to actually be wealthy than to look wealthy'. Best quote ever!

Goes to show America is NOT the land of dreams and freedom anymore. Not enough people like her honestly. Very smart woman who followed her dreams! Very inspiring story!

She is absolutely right. I went to Sicily on holiday and cried when I was about to board the flight to return home. It is a stunning place…..FOOD is divine, WINE is divine, WARMTH OF THE PEOPLE is divine…! I so wanted to stay permanently

For those wondering why the eggs are not in the refregirated section, is because they don't remove the natural coating on the eggs in Europe, so they don't need to be refrigirated.

She's magnificent. No wonder everyone that meets her in Sicily is nice to her. Everyone loves being in the company of someone emenates sunshine energies!

As an Italian, let me say that we are proud to see you happy here , Sephanie. I'm from a caotic city of the North and I confirm : Sicily is paradise ; it'd deserve more. I'm glad you feel home there. They indeed are beautiful people, the scenery is magnificent, food so good and so is the sea...:) .

Not only Sicily! Anywhere in Italy if you go outside the big cities, the people are just absolutely amazing and it always brings a tear to my eye how friendly Italians can be. I've been looking for house there too. Cheers from Czechia.

I’m 100% sure the food is better quality there and the fact that it’s more affordable is crazy I’m happy for her

This makes me happy and sad at the same time. The lunch thing really hit home. We are all running lives on someone else's clock.

My boyfriend and I went to Sicily last year for the first time, and we totally fell in love with it! Totally agree, the people are so warm and relaxed. Can’t wait to go back.

I'm so in need of any advice I could run with this year when it comes to the financial market, because I need to do better after unfortunately losing a lot of money the previous year.

As a Sicilian, I love that you love our island ! You are a beautiful soul and we are privileged to have you. Welcome !

It's kind of funny, two generations ago my Fathers family emigrated to America from Sicily.

You have won. Congratulations!!! My life’s dream is to move to Italy 🇮🇹 🎉🎉

I lived in Sicily when I was in the military and I absolutely loved it. Thanks for sharing this snapshot of your life.🙏🏾

As a Sicilian, I'm glad she feels at home here and that the people have embraced her and her family in the community ♥️ she seems like such a sweet and kind person, I bet they love her.

She lives in Mussomeli which is pretty near to Palermo (the capital), the airport and many beaches and countryside. That's an excellent choice and it's obvious her quality of life in the elderly years will be much, much better. I completely understand her reasoning and I think is pretty wise: being part of a community it's great, and having a nice, well decorated house will make you incredibly happy. Kudos!

I love that you came because you wanted to have your "Eat, pray, home" and I'm glad you found your second home in Italy! Dreams do came true! Also, i totally get the lunch thing -- I was the same ! LOL

My happy place in Sicily was a quaint little town called Motta Sant'Anastasia. It seemed like each morning the town filled with the smell of fresh baked bread. My landlord's daughter would often invite me downstairs to have lunch or dinner with her brother Mario and Papa. I learned to appreciate riposo and an unhurried way of life. In my 4 years there everyone I encountered was warm and friendly and I felt safe day or night.
