Hello, my family and i are new to this forum too. we are Australian . we have not moved to italy yet, but are hopefully moving in september 2010. there are 4 of us my husband, 2 boys and myself. we are very interested in moving to tuscany (Lucca, Pisa or Firenze) for 1 year.
i noticed that you only live in your house from march to october, what do you do with it over the winter months?
Our aim is to either get somewhere to rent for 3 months (less than 800euros a month) anytime from september 2010 or to house sit for other foreigners while they are away over the winter months. I am not sure where Barga is but it sounds nice. While we are there in the first 3 months we want to get to know the area we are staying in and obtain work ( i will be able to teach english) and my husband is a very good gardener/landscaper, environmental scientist, handyman ( all that outdoors stuff). and we will enrol our children into public school once we have work and know that we are staying at least 1 year.
we will also be needing italian classes as well, although i will have been studying italian for 2 years by then.
anyway i am not sure why i felt the need to tell you all this , but you just sound like a nice person on this forum with alot of experience in italy.
thank you
maleena.
