Escape Plan

Moving abroad isn’t just about filling out forms and packing boxes—it’s about making a life-changing transition with clarity and confidence. I wrote Escape Plan because, when I started planning my own move to Italy, I realized how much information was either too vague, too complicated, or just plain wrong. I wanted a resource that was both practical and personal, something that walks you through the process step by step—so I created the guide I wish I had when I started.

This book is not about chasing a romanticized dream—it’s about real strategies to help you move without unnecessary stress, financial surprises, or bureaucratic headaches.

What’s Inside?

• Pre-Move Planning – How to decide if Italy is right for you beyond the tourist appeal.

• Residency & Visas – Simplified breakdown of Italy’s complex visa system.

• Financial & Tax Strategies – Avoid double taxation and prepare financially.

• Renting vs. Buying – Why renting first is often smarter (and how to avoid pitfalls).

• Healthcare & Daily Life – Navigating Italy’s healthcare system and daily logistics.

• Cultural Adjustment – What expats wish they had known before moving.

• Scouting & Travel Prep – Plan a trip that helps you make an informed decision.

Whether you’re retiring, working remotely, or looking for a fresh start, Escape Plan will help you navigate the transition with practical advice, real-life insights, and an honest perspective on the challenges and rewards of moving abroad.

This isn’t a generic expat guide. It’s a roadmap, built from real experience, that helps you take action and move forward with confidence.

You can purchase the book via my website (link above) or if you prefer to give Bezos a cut for his space-bound-PR stunts…feel free to get on Amazon.

If you’ve found the book useful — or know someone plotting their great escape to Italy — I’d truly appreciate a review and a share.
