Letters from Salento
A blog about moving to Italy by someone who has done it!
Welcome to To Italy & Back. I’m Stef, an Australian who somehow turned a holiday crush on Italy into a whole new life. This space is where I share the real story behind moving here; from the gentle joys to the messy bureaucratic bits that no one warns you about. If you are dreaming of Italy, planning a move or simply curious about what life looks like in the south, you’ll feel at home here.
And if you’re an Aussie, start with my complete guide to moving to Italy from Australia
