281: How to Live Like an Italian (and Become a Citizen Too), with Jennifer Sontag
This week I'm welcoming Jennifer Sontag, owner of Italian Citizenship Concierge, to talk all about what it's like to pick up and move across the world, to Italy. Jennifer was an image consultant who worked with clients including Michelle Obama, then moved to teach at an international high school in Shanghai, and when she came back to the US finally, she decided she had one more move in her--to Italy. In this episode we cover: + The cultural differences between Italy and America + What it's like to live in Sicily + All her recommendations if you're visiting Sicily + How to start the application process for citizenship and what documents you'll need + The websites you should start with when researching family documents + The cost of applying for citizenship + The work-life balance in Italy versus the United States
