ABOUT:
Hi! I’m Valeria, and I’m an expat and digital nomad, currently living in Italy. I first came here without speaking the language and being totally unprepared, but pretty sure this is gonna be an adventure of a lifetime! I love discovering Italian culture, Italian people and, of course, Italian food. I'm a full-time content creator, so when I'm not making travel videos, I'm taking photos, writing and creating artworks. Studying is another passion of mine, and currently I’m finishing my Masters degree at the University of Bologna. Here I post regular travel vlogs, tips on expat life, moving abroad, personal growth and self-esteem as a woman living abroad, so hop on and welcome on board!

A lot of cities are wonderful in France. Incredible country.

@stephanevu-hoang1014 Год назад

Being half French and having been forced to move to Paris at a young age. I recently paid a visit to Lyon and it's night and day. Paris isn't as good as it seems. First off the weather is probably as gloomy as Manchester. People are extremely unhelpful and borderline. Lyon is the complete opposite, there's a southern touch, even in the rain it's always bright, it's incredibly clean. It's also an amazingly lively place. I'm considering living there on a permanent basis. So sick of Paris and its hustle. My other half is from Lyon too.

@khushalkhan919 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your experience. Is it easy to find a job for a beginner?

@stephanevu-hoang1014 Год назад

@@khushalkhan919 In Paris or Lyon? I don't really know about Lyon as I haven't lived there - though I intend to. The great thing is public transportation, it's only a 2hr commute to Paris - which is what I do on a daily basis from Normandy to Paris. To give you an example I took the train back yesterday and it took me as long to get to Paris as it did from one borough of Paris to another. It's crazy but it's true. I know there are loads of opportunities in Lyon/Grenoble but its closeness to Paris and Marseilles makes Lyon a fantastic spot to find job opportunities. Again I'm not from Lyon so it's hearsay.

@titteryenot4524 7 месяцев назад

For the traveller from Paris, and that city’s rather monochrome palette of grey to greyer (with splashes of very intermittent colour to relieve the gloom, for Paris knows that it’s a resolutely northern place, and its buildings reflect those often cloudy skies), the first thing that strikes you about Lyon, 250 miles to the south, are the warm colours. Someone described the city’s overall appearance as like a crate of peaches ripening in the sun and this captures it nicely, as the red roofs and sun-bleached, fading stone more than hint of Le Midi, a hop-skip-and-jump down the Rhone Valley (Vienne? Valence? Montelimar?) It’s no accident that Lyon is almost exactly on the same latitude as Milan and Venice, as there is more than a hint of the Italianate in the ochre walls. Lyon is a lovely open city, with significant elevation on one side - reminiscent of Grenoble - looking east over the rivers divided by Presque Ile, across the rest of town. The most charming bit is the oldest bit, as is always the case in most French (and other countries’) cities. I almost gave myself a double hernia trying to romp up Fourviere Hill, but the pain soon eased when I clocked the majestic views from atop. There are also significant Roman ruins up here that are more extensive than I’d expected; a couple of theatres and other sundry bits and bobs. Least said about the Basilica (a sort of Romanesque/Byzantine mess of a mash-up) itself, the better. The reason to be up here are the views. The best church in Lyon is the main cathedral just down the hill. The rest of the time is best spent just aimlessly wandering. The old working-class district of La Croix-Rousse, is a (slightly gentrified) throwback to Lyon’s industrial past; a kind of self-contained village within the city. Place Bellecour, the city’s main square is a big, pompous, unwieldy thing and resembles nothing so much as a military parade ground. You can imagine Napoleon rallying his troops here on his way back from exile, (even if he never did.) But minor quibbles aside, Lyon can easily cope with 3 days of your life. I still can’t quite decide if its ‘northern’ or ‘southern’, though; I have always personally marked the start of Le Midi on this side of France at Montelimar, but on a midsummer’s day in Lyon, with the cicadas’ electric buzzing filling the air: this could well be the ‘true’ south. But where oh, where, are the shutters?!

@abad5687 Месяц назад

Lyon n'est ni au nord ni au sud et c'est ce qui fait son originalité. Quant à son inspiration italienne, les vagues successives d'immigration italienne ont teinté cette ville. La place Bellecour est là, y'a pas à juger, la basilique de Fourvière aussi. Juger, c'est se séparer de ce qu'on observe. Bonne journée.

@jean-loupdesbordes4833 Год назад

Fourvière reminds you the Sacré-Cœur because both have been erected at the same period and by that time neo-bysantin style was the mood inspiration for french architects.

Wondeful video! We are going to France next month and will visit Lyon! We went to Piedmonte a few months ago and love it there! The coffee was so good. Is it better in Italy vs France?

@DramaticallyExpatic 9 месяцев назад

I'm super biased because I live in Italy, so probably I'm the wrong person to ask 😅 Both countries are great to be honest! (But if you were asking specifically about coffee, it's better in Italy of course!)

@jelliebean2680 9 месяцев назад

@@DramaticallyExpatic That's quite alright. I'm a little biased as well. I think Italy is hard to beat! It's been years since going to France and I didn't really drink coffee at the time. Since visiting Italy, we only drink espresso ! We miss it there. Love seeing your videos!

What a wonderful looking city! Thank you for showing us. I see that there is also graffiti in France like in Italy. In America, where I am from, there is not nearly as much graffiti. Much of the graffiti in America is gang related, what is the graffiti about in Italy and Europe? I am not able to read it. Is it more political? Just curious what your thoughts are. Ok, grazie mille!

@johnrooney507 Год назад

@DramaticallyExpatic Год назад

Thank you! It really depends, it is political very often, but sometimes you can even stumble upon poetry or really cool street art! It would be great if there were more spaces dedicated specifically to the street art. Obviously obscene graffiti and the ones damaging the private property are a no, but I’m all about street art when it’s actually art 💛

No trabules are not builded from or since the first century (or problem of translating with youtube ? It possible that just that and sorry) the very first trabules in lyon is from 4th century but most are from 12th, 13th, 14th centuries and renovated lot of times until 19th/begin 20th centuries Only antic theatre and the Odeon (smaller antic theater near the great at Fourvière) are from the first century in Lyon from the gallo-roman epoch when Lyon was called Lugdunum and the Roman capital in Gaul for Roman Empire but Lugdunum was destructed by civil war betwen romans to decide who becoming Imperator betwen Lucius Septimius Severus and Clodius Albinus (roman general) . Lugdunum was the siege for Albinus party (and army ...) and Septimus Severus taking action against Lugdunum after his victory ... The city was depopulated after burning during decades before rebirth to a "pre-medieval" city (before medieval epoch) : First traboules was from this epoch

@jeromevilleray3386 10 месяцев назад

Near Lyon you can found others Romans cities (smaller) like Vienne and Saint Romain en Gal (Vienna residential quarter at roman epoch) , at the epoch Vienna and Saint Romain are roman elitist cities with residential quarter for larges romans villas , testifying the important state of Lugdunum before the great burning at Septimius Severus epoch , Vienna and Saint Romain are cities for important Roman people named by Rome to govern Lugdunum and Gaul Actualy Saint Romain en gal is a village with important archeologist sites of important Romans villas quarter for these "Roman VIP" with lot of exemple of luxuary roman villas and lot of archeologist digs and sites and lot of to be "studied" for the future (for archeologist students and universities)
