Hola! que buen video! me voy a locri a vivir en dos semanas :) emocionado por conocer reggio calabria! saludos!!!!

Hola, Andrea! I was an exchange student in Argentina and my family and friends were all of Italian descent so I learned some Italian with my Castellano. I had a blast! And yes, I've been back a number of times and everyone there's been here (the USA). Even better! But, because everything was so centered on Italy where I lived (Río Cuarto), I really felt it necessary to visit Italy! So, I really appreciate your advice!

oh my god Tnx for sharing your opinion with us. I appled for nutrition science and I had doubts but now I make final decision .

Hi Ruth! Thank you for your comment. I really liked Reggio Calabria (went back last year to visit a friend) and we loved Palermo and Messina in Sicily. Definitely worth a visit! ♥

One day I would like to move to Reggio Cakabria so thanks for this 😊

Hi Rachel! Thank you for your comment. Reggio Calabria is a great city to live in, especially if you like smaller towns and living a slow life as it's not as hectic as Rome or Milan. Hope you get to move there! ♥

I was thinking to move there as an ESL teacher as well, but wasn't sure if communications would be easy since my Italian is not good. how do you describe your experience. I'll be watching more of your videos cuz it looks like how is my life going to be soon😂😂

Hi! I'm sorry, I'm just reading your message. I'm no longer living in Reggio - left in 2022. I have many videos about teaching in Reggio so if you have a more specific question, I would be happy to answer! My company was obliged - I believe - by law to provide Italian lessons to me as part of country's policy regarding foreigners living in Italy. I didn't have an issue understanding Italians since I speak Spanish and some words tend to be similar, but I was able to speak a bit more fluently about basic topics by the end of my stay. Nevertheless, I def recommend taking Italian lessons if you are planning to live there long-term. Hope this helps and best of luck! ♥

My friend lives there and it's a big difference on prices compared to the US. And he told me that the gas is in liters not gallons, never knew that but overall it would seem really nice to live there

Absolutely! The whole of Europe (with some exceptions of course) is way cheaper if we take into account US standards. Rent in Milan or Rome might get to 1200 for a one-bedroom flat which is unheard of in places like New York, for example. Reggio is a nice place to live in but it has its cons, just like any other city. It's just a matter of knowing what you want from a place and, if it's good for you, then that's amazing! Personally, it wasn't my place in this period of my life.

A friend of mine used Airbnb to get that first hand experience before living there. There are tons of b&b options as well. Idealista is a website which many Italians use when it comes to renting + Facebook groups. This is a popular one: facebook.com/groups/AFFITTI.REGGIO.CALABRIA/?ref=share .

Hello Andrea I'm about to move to cittanova if you ever heard of it!! It's in the outskirts of reggio! I'm coming from Morocco to work over there. I just want to ask you if I would be able to find a good job!! I master the English language but I connot speak Italian!! What sorts of jobs that I can find there? Thank you

@andreaegeapato3510

I highly recommend learning some basic Italian before moving, especially if you're going to the South as not many people will hire you if you just speak English. Some of the jobs available are mainly within the tourism and hospitality sector, particularly during summer time as many bars and restaurants open by the seaside.

Is that figure of rent per week? or per month?

I didn't experience any BUT my friend who still lives there has! I think last year or this year - can't remember exactly.

lived there for almost a full year. I absoluty hated it and couldn't wait to get the hell out. 95% of the people were very rude and didn't want anything to do with an American. The Main Street is nice but everywhere else is filth and garbage. I had a cockroach land on my head walking under a building and had a huge rat run out infant of me on a crowded street. Places don't open until 7 or 8 at night to eat so eating early is very difficult when staying in a hotel. On top of it all it's dangerous. If anyone is thinking of going I would say DON'T DO IT.
