Description
Ever dreamt about moving to Italy? Think again! And then do it anyway.
Read about the horrendous and the hilarious adventures of two Dutchmen who took the plunge (and nearly drowned).
In 2008 Stef Smulders, his partner Nico and their dog Saar emigrated to Italy to start a new life and set up a B&B. They sold their home, left their friends and family behind and took a leap into the unknown.
Now Stef shares his experiences in a collection of witty short stories. The book treats the trials and tribulations of an emigration: what it was like to buy and renovate a house, to import a car, to gain residency, and much more.
The reader is introduced to a full range of Italian characters, from the trustworthy to the rogue, from the gentle to the shameless, flesh and blood Italians. Some are stereotype, others unexpectedly original.
Yet they never fail to amuse and entertain.
