Please do!

Hello folks - where do people find longer term rentals in Italy? Airbnb tends to be expensive. I’m looking at rentals in Florence/Sicily/Rome.

Also - how do you find areas/neighborhoods that have expats/nomads hanging out? Don’t want to be isolated right when I’m starting on my Nomads journey! Thanks for your help folks!

danamo 7mo

Italian here. I haven’t been in a while but in Sicily I don’t think you’d find expat hubs as such. Catania might be a bit more active than average in that area, but I’d recommendeelsewhere (not Italy) for first nomading 😅

nonno84 7mo

Well, in Palermo there are some. And speaking about the south, also in Matera.

If you want to find big hubs, in general, it's better to avoid big expensive countries, with too many beautiful places. Inevitably there are going to be less nomads, and the few of them are sparse.

robinsinghvi 7mo

Fair point. I’m in Italy right now though and thought about staying here for a month or two. So trying to find the right spots.

nonno84 7mo

Try to focus more on logistics, otherwise you risk spending a lot of time moving around, especially if you don't plan to get a car or a moto.
Unless you are rich I would recommend a place like Forlì, central and well connected but less famous and expensive than Bologna, not on the beach but not even that far.
More central maybe Perugia, Foligno or Ancona. In the South I wouldn't know what to suggest apart from Matera and the obvious other big cities. There are plenty of amazing little towns (Sapri, Scario, Maratea), but on the coast it's going to be expensive.

paulcarson 7mo

As somone who is now in Sicily, its tricky. We used flatio to get a 3 month rental then in person found an Italian speaking real estate guy who knew everyone. This way you don't get lost or fucked over. Most local don't use Airbnb etc cause you have to pay taxes 😂 and yeah palermo has a small but growing similarly catania is more a business hub for Italy in general otherwise i find i meet retirees all over the island very spread out who all say ah yeag there isva young guy or young womem they do remote working

paulcarson 7mo

Or as the Italians say 'smart working'

paulcarson 7mo

So we are all smart well done us 😂😂

robinsinghvi 7mo

I’m in Catania now!

furkanhanci 7mo

I’ll be in napoli tomorrow! Who is up for hanging out 👀

robinsinghvi 7mo

In Florence until the 25th! HMU if you’d like to hangout and chat AI! :)

Hi there! Any recommendations on the best/safest area to stay for a short visit to Rome in June? I’ll be there just for 4/5 days for the first time and want to see all the main highlights

nthnjns 6mo

I like Testaccio. You can ride one of those scooters up to the main sites along the Tiber River path... people will recommend Trastevere but there are lots of Gypsy pickpockets in that hood so just be wary. Half of Rome feels like Africa at this point so just be prepared.

garikkh 6mo

Hey everyone! I'm in Milan for ~7 hours... If anyone has suggestions please let me know for absolute musts - food and coffee places appreciated. Thanks!

williamcodes 6mo

Anybody in Rome? I'm here for a month.

susifusi 6mo

Does anybody know the villages of Pianoro and/or Sasso Marconi near Bologna? Would love to hear how you perceived them!

jyeray 6mo

Is anyone around Bologna? Currently here and I’m going to stay a couple of weeks

nonno84 6mo

Benvenuta in Italia 👋
(I'm not a big fan of the city you chose, but as the Latins were used to say: "De gustibus non disputandum est" 😅)

nonno84 6mo

A little village of 2000 souls in the middle of Marche, quite remote in every sense

marianaflame 6mo

Planing to go to Rome next week, but no logistics figured out yet. I’m from Brazil, anyone there in Italy?

jasonmazza 6mo

undecumani 6mo

Anyone currently in Bari?
I'm surprised how much has changed the city in the last years and how much DNs welcoming has become

nirvico 5mo

This list has aged surprisingly well

thisismike 5mo

I'm from Milan - born and raised there. If you need info or anything hmu 🤙

nthnjns 4mo

I'll probably have to subtract Trieste because that's where the cruise ships to Venice now dock :( but if FVG region is still quite underrated (especially if you have a car).

nthnjns 4mo

Hook me up with the real places to eat/aperitivo? I'm staying in Citta Studi/Acquabella area for a month. I try to avoid Navigli or the center of town if possible...don't need fancy.. just good Lombardy food...

nirvico 4mo

I'm in Trieste now :/ Don't mind the cruise ships... not yet.

nthnjns 4mo

If you're into hiking you can take a bus here and then a great walk through the valley into Slovenia (no border crossing just an abandoned customs post)

Hi!
For my doctoral dissertation, I would like to conduct interviews via Zoom about digital nomads. The interviews will be voice-only and will consist of several questions on the topic. Would anyone be willing to participate and help me with my research?

roberto91 2mo

Heading to Florence tomorrow, any recommendations for traveller meetups? Bars etc.

fabios 2mo
