MOVING TO ITALY

“All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Changing Your Life

It feels as if we’ve never left Italy and in less than a week we’ve already done a million and one things. I am in a total whirl. Totally changing your life is a big task.

Today we visited Borgata Malpertus. We went up into the mountains to find the land that goes with the house we just bought for a song.

Yes that’s right we bought a house today in Bobbio Pellice!

Why?

It’s a long story. In short the house in Veravo is a major project and won’t be livable for some time. In the meantime we need somewhere to live hence the new place.

We are about to fully embrace a rustic life! I can’t wait to see what she teaches us.

Within minutes our children were feeding baby lambs with the local children, and I was busy taking photos.

I can’t wait to see the Borgata in every season.

Today has been an incredible day, crisp sharp cold and filled with the warmth of the local people.

After such a long journey we seem to have found a home that we never imagined yet already love.

Sam and I are already making plans and dreaming of how the Borgata could look if were totally restored.

That’s the joy when following your dreams…you never know where they will lead.

Our adventure begins…..now I’d love to hear about your dreams, how will you be changing your life?

    Excitement! I can’t wait to hear more about this. I love mountain areas and people – so different from the plains and towns. And the seasons so beautiful, the air so crisp. I could move up to the Dolomites tomorrow and it’s only two hours away!

    Wow, how exciting! And such a great life there for kids! Countryside and animals! How about school? Is the local school far?
    Good luck, looking forward to the progress! Always exciting to have a renovation project!

Ciao I’m Lisa

Together with my husband Sam we’ve renovated multiple homes in Australia and now on our second in Italy. This time it’s a medieval hamlet at the foot of the Alps in Piemonte. I love the simple life, photography and working from home with my cat on my lap.  Our mission? To help you create your Italian dream life!
