This moving-abroad-for-a-bit idea is starting to roll.
Italy has taken a lead in what I would call the practice round of this idea. Not for reasons beyond the most simplistic. I liked Italy when I visited it about 8 years ago. Stayed in Milan and Bergamo. Fond memories of playing poker on the balcony of a classic bar that was understatedly beautiful with its arched gate and greenery going just about everywhere. There was perfect weather and perfect beer. Come to think of it, I don’t think we were sophisticated enough to be playing poker. Especially since I won.
I have no real basis beyond that to put forward Italy. It wouldn’t be great career-wise. I don’t know Italian. I’m not even sure I’m a good fit for the culture.
But I dunno. That all just makes it seem more exciting.
Early days yet. This idea is very much still an idea, and an embryonic one at that.
