I Leave! What you have to think about... #emigreren #avontuur #risico

Tips for those who want to live in Italy (or elsewhere), but don't dare to take the step well.

Emigrating is a good idea if you manage to maintain and “take” your own business or part of your free-lance work, so you don't rely entirely on the foreign labour market, which you have to get to know first. Therefore, if you are still adhering to the fact that 'your favourite country' is loved as a holiday country, and will definitely remain, you can build a good life there without too much risk.

For a well-running B&B, of course, you have to enjoy being a host or wife. And try extra hard at first, so that your guests come back from holiday so enthusiastically that they recommend your great home and service to their friends and acquaintances, who will tell everyone how much fun it was, making you less and less on websites like booking over time. whether airbnb is designated. As Dutch, we have the advantage that we usually speak a few foreign languages reasonably. Which is an advantage by many foreign guests, since they are in love with Italy, but not always in the Italian language.

If you manage to conquer a certain niche as a B&B or landlord of a holiday home, you're all right. Today, for example, many people want to take their (big) dog (s) on vacation. They do not appear to be welcome in all hotels, so it is a plus if you can offer a garden with a fenced area for dogs at the house. Or you also target guests who enjoy hiking in the mountains, all you need to do is contact a local guide or hiking association (in Italy the CAI) to quickly identify yourself as an insider.
