Why I Quit My 6 Figure Paying CORPORATE JOB in Australia 

Thank you for this open, honest video! I am currently at a point in my life where I'm feeling desperate to leave America, to make my dreams of living in Italy come true. It's been too many years of dreaming and not enough of doing. Your perspective is very helpful!

Aww Fiorella your video came at the most critical moments of my life when I have to make an important decision in my life at age 61 , " do I stay where my 2 adult children are living or do I move to Italy alone "? I know that nowhere is PERFECT and I also know myself better than anybody else. I don't compare myself with anyone and I follow the herds , I just trust my heart . ❤🙏💝💐♥️ for your Videos

Such an interesting video. You were right to follow your heart. I was stuck in corporate jobs for years and hated every second of it. Just to keep going I ate badly and drank about 12 cups of coffee a day. I had to commute 2 hours each way each day and was too tired to do anything else at the end of the week. Eventually my health gave out and, to cut a long story short (kind-of), I had to give up work whether I liked it or not. Not quitting when I should have, not taking chances and following some of my dreams, has ultimately rendered me, due to health problems, unable to even pursue those dreams. Follow your heart and good luck to you both.

Wonderful video of your history! Love it! ❤

Wow! Thank you for being so transparent. I definitely like the "long version" of your story. Your story gives me more courage to listen & follow my heart ❤.

Thank you for opening up and allowing us to see your vulnerability!! It’s so hard sometimes to put life into perspective to gain clarity. I am thankful for you, Aidan and your videos!!

Hello Fiorella - I just subscribed and liked your very honest true-blue vlogs about Italy. All of my grandparents immigrated from Italy, and I grew up in a household that was very Italian. My mother and father spoke to each other in Italian so that me and my younger brother, Luigi, wouldn't know what they were saying. Cooking was every day and holidays always a big family gathering and special foods. The way you present simple activities like shopping or just walking around is very enjoyable, engrossing and informative. My wife, Nancy, and I look forward each evening after dinner to tuning in to one of your vlogs. We hope you continue to make many more of them. All the best of health and happiness to you and Aden and your family. I love your story of preferring the home-made basket as being more valuable than having lots of money. I migliori saluti a te- Mario & Nancy

Thank you for sharing your personal journey. I wish you continued adventure and self-discovery!

This was such a poignant video. The best decisions are the ones we make for ourselves after experience and much evaluation. I left teaching a year before I was supposed to. My income was cut down to one third of my previous income. It was the best decision of my life. I felt lighter in my soul. Thanks for sharing, Fiorella!

Thanks for sharing your story of breaking free of the golden handcuffs. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. It has been refreshing getting to slowly know both of you and learning your journey. Susan & Mike

Love your videos, I guess many people wish for a different life but for whatever reason it doesn’t happen. Good on you for making yours happen and what a country Italy is. I’ve been there for a few holidays & absolutely love it & always can’t wait to get back there. All the best to both of you.

I have been enjoying your videos from day one. Now this video has confirmed what I thought all along. You are some smart cookie a loving woman and probably would be the best friend. Listening to you speaking of your challenges and the way you deal with all your situations is just wonderful. I have really enjoyed this video and listening to your past history, looking forward to seeing you successful,,, healthy and happy... God bless you and your husband and and fur babies❤🐕😸

Love your honesty Fiorella - I'm sure most, if not all, of us can relate. Thank you for sharing your from your heart 💕💕

Thank you, Fiorella for your beautiful story. I'm sure you don't remember me, but my wife, Rosina was born in Molise near Compobasso. It's wonderful to see the similarities between your life and my wife's. In California, Rosina worked for a medical device company that sold to Columbia, just to name a few. She frequently travelled there to visit doctors, respiratory therapists and distributors. She always came home with wonderful stories about the warm people of Columbia. She too was caught up in the well paying job where the company was never satisfied with making more and more at the expense of its employees. Thankfully, she was finally able to retire and leave the madness behind. It is gratifying to see you were able to leave the corporate world behind you at a much younger age than we are. Keep making your wonderful videos. We truly enjoy them! Michael Cefaratti

Excelentes reflexiones, y excelente calidad de video.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am an Ex-Aussie, in that I left in 2014, and I don't see myself returning, except for a holiday, perhaps. Moving to Italy (Sicily) in the coming months, and looking forward to new challenges after living in Eastern Europe for the last few years. Keep sharing your travels and stories.

The video, the story - it all just wrung me out like a sponge. Only enough water for a few tears. Happy ones.

Good for you! I feel the same.

Hi Fiorella, Thank you for sharing and letting us know your story! I can definitely relate to giving up the high salary for my own business! Can I ask you if you guys can do a video on how you handle being paid from another country and getting your money there in Italy. That is one of my concerns being able to handle the transfer of funds and having money available to live there. I'm so ready for the simple life!

Thanks for sharing your story ❤

Thank you for sharing🙏. Life is short and money is not the most important - friendship, being together with the one you love and so much more (cats 🐈and dogs 🐶 for instance 😊…).

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and Open your heart. For more videos like this.

I’m so proud of you! You’re living my dream. Lots of love from the Netherlands❤️

Thank you for such a true sharing! I have some similar experience, thank you!

Fiorella you are so courageous. ❤. Grazie da Texas come sempre. I do have fear about being old and needing healthcare in Italy. 🇮🇹 ❤.

Love this! We moved to Europe a couple years ago from the US and can 1000 % relate to your story! Thanks for being honest and sharing it in your own way. 💕

What a heartfelt video Fiorella. I am now 70 and worked in a man centric corporate world my entire life until I retired. The money was good but not worth stress nor the mental breakdowns that would occur with each lay off or company closing. Thank you for being so honest and I am so happy you have peace and happiness in your life and the fact that your Adan has been your rock. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

Hahahahaha its your bubbly refreshing honesty I like very much I could not put you in a basket at all . Thank you for sharing your journey

Thank you Fiorella. I'm sure having Aden by your side makes your decision-making so much easier. I can't believe the multitude of people out there who, like me, are ready to "leap" but can't or haven’t for one reason or another. Maybe we can all move together in one leap!! Wishing everyone the courage to make it happen. 🙏

Loved this very much….it answered a lot of my questions about myself ❤

That sounded very soul destroying. I hope you continue in Italy. You seem happy there.

I think that you and your husband are a lovely couple!❤ Bless you.

Love the memories.

👏🤙

Fabulouso!

Do you do live tours. And if so could you tell me where to stay at a reasonable price for a few weeks. So I could go and look around some places.

Yes Australian government has gone whack since COVID and it's just getting worse over there. But on the other hand, Italy was very bad as well. You couldn't even get out of your house in Italy. So I hope it stays ok I love Italy. I think it's gorgeous. I would love to move there but I am afraid to go there because of what happened during covid Anyway this was a great video and I wanted to tell you before how beautiful and young your mother looks 🥰I
