- As an expat in Italy, you can’t help but make comparisons with your home country. This is generally very positive about both countries, I’m sure there’s bad stuff about both but I like to focus in the good mostly!
Here’s the link to the Expats in Italy Facebook group! www.facebook.c...
Enjoy and let me know what you think! This video was fun to make! And it’s sunnier now finally yay!!

Love Italy! I LOVE Milan. UK is dangerous ...
Pizza in ketchup!!!!! Oh nooooooo! I may be American but my grandmother is Italian and would smack the pizza outta my hand.
Hahaha 🙈
Ciao Corinna. Volevo dirti di resistere perché sei nel posto giusto. Ad esempio a luglio a Perugia c'è l'Umbria jazz e a te che sei una musicista ti piacerà tantissimo. Se ho capito bene sei anche una a cui piace il mare, da Perugia sei in spiaggia in un'ora di viaggio e se vuoi il mare tipo Maldive vai in Puglia, dove tra l'altro puoi mangiare cose assurde!
I have been to both countries with the same tour company. What did I notice?? The food was much better in Italy and they supplied an endless amount of wine. In the UK we were given one glass of wine or beer, the food? The food did not stand out!! ( found the link to your channel from Expats in Italy )
The food does seem to be amazing here! Except fast food! That’s rubbish here! They don’t have anything nice, quick and healthy! Just a lot of carbs!! :) x
What a gorgeous view! I’m so excited to move to Italy. I look forward to your blogs! Thank you for sharing your journey!!
So glad you’re enjoying them :)) 🇮🇹❤️
Perugia?
Theres so much to love about Italy, its a place which opens its arms and embraces you. Your open friendly ways as an English lass fit and blend perfect. You are going to have a ball..soon you buy all your food on the market and live on delicious fresh food..meantime my go to emergency food is porridge..ye cannae beat it! Overnight oats, seeds nuts and some berries...sorted...get your oats girl🙄😂
Haha thank you for the tip!! ❤️
Il periodo che hai trascorso in Italia è surreale. Le città deserte sono belle per il livello architettonico ma senza le persone diventano delle città senza anima viva. E' normale che la terra di origine sia il punto di riferimento ma è piacevole sentire apprezzamenti verso la nostra piccola penisola. Ti auguro di poter visitare il nostro paese perchè quello che hai visto è un piccolo spicchio. Ho visto i tuoi video e li ho gustati davvero
corrine. food is cult here in italy. never ever mess about with italian food and do british stuff with it.
we eat in certain ways. always fresh and wholesome. keep to the original dish. ketchup on pizza? awful..shocking. our cusine is the best in the world. don't mess with it.
😂😂😂💖
Apples and oranges 🤔🤔🤔
I'm also a new student in Italy. It is good to know about Italian culture. Thank you, for sharing this video with us.
Thank you for watching 😊😊
@@CorrinaTaylor I came from Iran, where people are proud of Iranian food and cuisine, and I dare to say Italian foods (and the ingredient quality) are on another level.
@@seeland1037 it’s true!!
@@seeland1037 Italy is different than everyone else. Next level.
You are not an expat you are an Immigrant from UK.

Great video! Very funny. I'm looking to move to Italy, Palermo next year. May I ask what visa you got? Its all rather confusing with Brexit etc now! I've lived abroad for the last 5 years mainly in Thailand but also in Budapest and Poland but all before Brexit. So I have no idea how to navigate the visa system. Any tips very much appreciated - thank you! xx
Well, I really enjoyed spending 13 minutes of my life watching your video.
You're really natural, spontaneous and very...well... charismatic and entertaining.
Of course it is because I also like the English accent, by the way it would be nice if you try to speak a bit of Italian with your accent.
I've been in London and other places in UK several times, you can guess how angry I'm about Brexit now, last time was for my long awaited Bovington Tank Museum visit.
I'm really glad you're happy to be here, I see you live in Perugia, that's not even as warm as other places nearer to the sea could already be, especially in the Western side of Italy.
Thank you so much for your comment!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it :) xx
I love England a lot, too. But as an old Italian I can tell you that we have a good sense of humour, too. One needs to take things lightly here
.... how would we survive Italian disorganisation otherwise?
It’s true haha. It’s not that Italians don’t have a sense of humour, it’s just that there is no humour like British humour. It’s a different thing. X
Hi Corrina, the last few days have been very mild, 15 degrees, sunshine. The birds are singing, the flowers blooming. I am still in awe to how hilly Perugia is. As I was staying with friends I didn't visit supermarket. I had my best pizza when I visited Napoli 3 years ago. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Your videos are a highlight of my week.
Oh Jonathan thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’m so glad you enjoy the videos ❤️
If you like classic Italian architecture and beaches, maybe you could visit the Riviera Ligure as soon as it will be allowed again (Rapallo, Santa Margherita Ligure, Portofino) and the Cinque Terre (really amazing). And if you like the countryside, you are very close to one of the most beautiful countrysides in the world in Tuscany, Siena and the Val D'Orcia (Pienza, Montepulciano, it's a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO). Also the Chianti area (closer to Florence): although the English countryside is beautiful, the area is so popular with the English upper class (many have second homes there) that it's been nicknamed "Chiantishire".
Thank you for all the tips!! When the travel restrictions ease I can wait to visit those places :)
To tomato in the pizza is absolute important ingredient...So If put Ketchup you ruin all the Pizza!!!...
Ho capito :))
@@CorrinaTaylor just joking😂 Like your channel...👍🏻
Have a nice new life in Italy Corrina, greetings from Lala...
Thank yoooou ❤️🇮🇹
You are Lucky to be in a friendly place 😉
Yes :) well this is my experience 😊
food might be good but burocracy is terrible. Plus many places are very old fashioned...
Lack of jobs and corruption too
Fact: Italy UNESCO sites are 58. Global leadership.
UK, 32.
That means there is definitley "something" more to see there than in UK.
Better "old fashioned" towns like Siena or Assisi than the alienating uglyness of the british brutalism architecture.
There are European countries rated worse in bureaucracy, one reputable site stated UK, Germany, France are worse.
@@karlaparker7988 Italy is no worse than the majority of European countries.
@@spaniardsrmoors6817they vote Farage and talk about corruption LOL
Hi I love your video and the comparisons, thank you, I just wanted your advice as I am a single mum with 2 kids and want to move to italy in the next 4 years, I am half Italian myself, I currently own mu own business as a foot health practitioner/chiropodist and would to know if there is a big need for this? And if not what jobs are needed? Also what parts of italy are affordable for families yet safe and have things for kids? I really want to move their xx
Moving permantly in April to Italy 🇮🇹
Very nice video. Probably more humorous people the further south you go. HA HA. As to the prices of food and rentals, etc., you are so right. I find it almost Unbelievable the cost and price of things in 'regular' Italy. Way inexpensive compared to some other countries, which makes no sense at all. It shows you how 'ripped off' people are getting, living in certain places. Italy isn't that way. And the quality of food, drink, and even where you live is much higher. Things are not marked up just to make easy money from people. Prices are more than fair. Says something. Also commend you for a very balanced view. You points are legit. Of course it is not exactly the same to go live in another country from where you were born, so you make a lot of sense. But I do believe you have made an outstanding choice as to where to spend much of your time. Enjoy and stay well.
Corrina, I really enjoyed this. It is sincere and entertaining. I was wary at first because I don't usually like comparisons. But in this case it works because you obviously have a great affection for both countries. I lived for two years in England during the seventies. I also love the English humor.
Thank you so much ❤️ Yes English humour is the best!! Xxx
you're so kind and wanderful to appreciate the local simple things you come from a wanderful colture
Thank you so much 😊❤️
🇮🇹❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤🇮🇹
Thank you for the book recommendation! Instant Italian! Purchased!
Cooool!! It’s really good :)
@@CorrinaTaylor if you go for take casanova Ok itay it's perfect have werewolf all time in italy !
But if you go for everything thailand N1
I love your videos!!! Keep making them please! -Brian
Thank you!! I’m so glad. I am planning to :) xx
Lol next time you're back in UK read again the ingredients of Boots or Tesco so called quick healthy meals x
Trust me, they’re healthier than the quick things you can get here!
Lol as an Italian who's been living in UK for almost 15 years I doubt it. That said, UK's society and economy is much more standardised meaning you'll know what you find pretty much everywhere, whilst in Italy each supermarket will change slightly...same for everything else. E.g. in each place locals will know where to get a 'healthy' quick snack or meal in the neighbourhood gastronomia, bar, pizza al taglio(by the slice), forno, etc. LOVE your videos btw
@@fabioa458 thank you!! ❤️
I like pizza thinner. you ate a piece which looked more like the homemade one
Pizza with ketchup? I’m surprised you were allowed in the country
Fine and good n!
Are you in Perugia? Yes you are!
Sweet corn!!!! Whaaaaaaa! You’re crazy. Let me cook! Hahaha
Hahaha I got so many offers it was funny!
Having not a lover in Italy is a shame, he would drive you in so many places and introduce to his family and friends, you are cute and young enough, go get a Guido😂
Hahaha dating in Italy is another video 😅
Food in Italy is much better except for one single thing: Marmite! ...oh my, I love Marmite! 😋 And much more I love the Meridian yeast extract with no added salt... No way to find it in Italy and shipment isn't cheap at all. I don't know why. Maybe you will be surprised but ...I'm Italian ;-)
Hahaha wow. I agree I love marmite too! I miss it everywhere I go!! ❤️
@@CorrinaTaylor you can buy it on amazon.it but hide yourself while eating it! lol
Закат? Серьезно? 😂
Italy is not all the same. The differences between regions can be significant. It is true that British humor is particular but in Italy the funniest people are Romans and Neapolitans. Perhaps even the Florentines.
You can't beat Italy. What part of Italy do you live in? Thank you
Who da f@ck dips their PIZZA IN KETCHUP IN THE UK?! Barbarians! (Btw, I'm English!)
Hahahaha it’s just a thing I always did and most people I know! Or brown sauce! Or mayonnaise! No?
@@CorrinaTaylor Oh wow! Erm... never seen that tbh! 😂 Divertiti in Perugia!
Also... very funny about the rents! Here in Bologna you can't find anything for less than 250... and that is SHARING a manky room. If you want your own one-bed flat (monolocale) it would be around the 700-1200 mark.
@@bbmcgee33 Because she lives in Perugia which is not an expensive place. There's a big difference between big cities and smaller cities or between Northern and Southern Italy
Lovely Perugia, isn't it?
Yesss Perugia!! X
@@CorrinaTaylor which part of UK do you come from? I've been in UK several times.
@@marcoloru I grew up in Cambridge :)
@@CorrinaTaylor :) :) how nice!
🇮🇹e 🇬🇧❤I love Italy and UK. Facciamo una cosa potremmo vivere sei mesi in Italia e sei mesi in UK.🤣Comunque bellissimo video e bellissima protagonista. Ciao a te e a tutti gli amici Inglesi.
Yay new Vlog!
👍👍👍💕
why pizza is not a healty choice ?
It’s not that bad, but it’s a lot of carbohydrates to have so often!
@@CorrinaTaylor actually less than you think, no more than 40 grams of complex carbohydrates (those that contain starch) in a large plate pizza
I love both
Spettacolare
❤️❤️
@@CorrinaTaylor ☺️🤗
Carina e gnocca.😊
Graziee ❤️
Ed ecco che è arrivato il pervertito di turno! 😯😱
@@bbmcgee33 Quando uno non sa distinguere un complimento si deve curare. Ascolta a me prenditi a schiaffi e riequilibria il cervello.
@@tanino111 Scusa, fammi capire. Dare della 'gnocca' a una sconosciuta sarebbe un complimento?! 😨 Bah!
UK if far superior to Italy. Granted Italy has nice monuments and scenery but UK is far advance and more inclusive. Italy has a crumbling economy but has a high GDP which supposedly goes to a handful of families and kleptocrats/government officials. The infrastructure is poor and sub standard. It’s covered in graffiti and smells of piss. Too much homeless in Napoli, homes in rome and Napoli look ancient and dilapidated. It’s an affordable country to live in but doesn’t touch UK. If you left UK for Italy you just failed in your own country.
I'm doing the opposite, I'm living in London after 4 years to go back to Italy. The quality of life I found generally speaking in the UK is much lower than in north Italy where I'm from and obviously I'm not a foreign there.
lol...tell that to your UK brethren who have just recently inundated Y T with videos of the decay in UK cities and towns that literally look 3rd world and make Naples look good in comparison. They're totally embarrassed by it. Italy is a top 10 in economy, military, trading nation, millionaires, wealthiest citizens in the world, #2 EU industrial power.
@@spaniardsrmoors6817ok mate if you wanna believe that good for you. I’m not gonna argue the facts. Your country is run as a kleptocracy - every house I saw in south Italy like Napoli etc was like tin sheds - Rome was disgusting too. If it weren’t for your historic sites like Emanuelle and all those other shit no one would care.
The Vatican is cold and weird - shit feels borderline haunted with all those strange depictions.
Pizza in Napoli and Rome was sub par from what I have in UK.
Your transportation network is way behind Uk.
Your military still don uniform that looks old as fuck.
Your police drive shitty Alfa Romero. Speaking of police you guys have so many different types of police… and that’s not a good thing.
Agosto 2024, superato il Giappone nelle esportazioni.😂😂😂
Yep, you guys are doing great, I see. Clean, prosperous and safe, UK 😂
Ive been in italy for years now,, i miss the Pubs in England, i miss having a good laugh, nice people here, but no humour, you'll find much easier being a pretty girl, as a single male its too serious here, stunning views, but very dull socially, avoid the agricultural towns in Piemonte if you come here, stick with the large towns or cities. Nice video Corrina!!
