It has been one week since I started my Italian Digital Nomad Adventure, and it has been quite challenging.
I’m travelling together with my partner and we are staying for one week in one place.
So far, we have been to beautiful Acqui Terme, a city and comune in Alessandria, Piedmont, northern Italy. This week, I’m writing from Pavia, a town and comune of south-western Lombardy in northern Italy.
My challenges so far are:
- sticking to my workout routine, it has been quite hard to follow my weekly workout plans; however, I’ve managed to go for long walks while exploring new places,
- working from hotels, I don’t like it. Although I haven’t had any issues with the internet so far, I’m not sure if this is something for me,
- in this Italian adventure, money management differs slightly from the French one. I have to be more aware of my expenses (not going so often to restaurants),
- it isn’t easy to record a podcast while you’re travelling, so I have to prerecord my episodes in advance or publish one episode per month. I opted for the second option. From October 2021, I’ll publish one episode per month of our The Expat Career And Lifestyle podcast,
- I won’t be able to visit all the attractions. I’m not a tourist, so I’m saying no to visiting some places, and that’s fine.
These are my learning points and reflections so far. I’m grateful that we can travel and take our careers with us.
