March 18, 2014 By Cher 3 Comments

This episode’s audio doesn’t exist, and we have technology to blame (poof! gone into cyberspace!). Instead of listening to this episode, feel free to use the notes below to learn more about the topic. And if you’re like, “CHER, NO. I NEED THIS EPISODE,” then let me know in the comments below. I’ll put it on my list to record again!

How Sarah Dowling Moved to Bologna and Got Back in Touch With Her Italian RootsSarah Dowling, founder of Italy Project 365, is one of those people who knows what’s good for her soul + follows that path as soon as she hears the call.

After finishing university, she needed more than just a blog to keep her connected to Italy and then decided to move to Bologna.

In this episode, we chat about how she got to that point, what logistics she went through to get there, and how she’s managed learning the language throughout it all.

You’ll learn:

— Two Sicilian words she heard from her nonna growing up

— Two of the best ways to search for an apartment in Italy

— How to get your visa + teach English in Italy

— Sarah’s favorite Florentine poet + singer-songwriter from Bologna

— Which language school she recommends in Bologna

— Her three favorite Italian phrases + words

— How she FINALLY learned the subjunctive {il congiuntivo}

My favorite articles from Italy Project 365

— Apartment Hunting in Italy

— Italy Music Revisited: I Cantautori

— Best of Bologna: On a Budget
