Thanks Stevie! Traipsing EuroVentures, my new brand?

RE: life expansion, it feels like we're coming out of a foundation building phase with better boundaries and fresh hobbies, or maybe a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis? Awesome to feel centered and grounded with all these opportunities for exploring ahead of us. See you in Europe...or maybe the US during your adventures?!

Back when you first posted about this I got excited because I also have Italian ancestry. What I discovered is that (assuming I understand correctly) I am ineligible for Italian citizenship because my Italian immigrant great-grandparents became US citizens before they gave birth to my grandfather.

Hey Joe, yup, unfortunately you’re correct. Another thing you could look into is the ERV, elective residency visa, which will get you the benefits of living over there long-term without citizenship. https://smartmoveitaly.com/ervassistance
