We had often talked about what it might be like to live in France or Italy. With our belongings donated, sold or stored, we left Ireland in our trusty campervan and began looking for a home on the continent. When planning and researching our move from back in Ireland, France had seemed like the sensible choice. Life in Valle di Comino, Italy, features good food, pleasant weather and rich culture, but making money is challenging. Life in Italy means daily challenges, drama, unexpected encounters, joys, complexities and simple pleasures.
