About In Place Italy

A little about me

Hi, I’m Kelly.

In 2020, I took a leap of faith and moved from Australia to Italy. I arrived with a suitcase full of excitement and, if I’m honest, a healthy dose of uncertainty.

Like many, I dreamed of a slower, richer way of life, but I wasn’t fully prepared for the complexity of making that dream a reality. Between the paperwork, language barriers, cultural differences and countless little things I hadn’t even thought to consider, I quickly learned that moving abroad is as challenging as it is rewarding.

Through the frustrations, the unexpected hurdles and the wins, I gained a perspective you can’t get from the outside. I know what it feels like to navigate the unknown, figure things out as you go, and finally reach that point where life in a new country starts to feel like home.

That experience is what inspired me to start this business.

Today, I help people turn their dream of living in Italy into a reality, with support at every stage of the journey. From planning your move and preparing for what lies ahead, to navigating the paperwork and practicalities once you arrive, right through to settling in and finding your place here.

Whether it’s understanding how things work, figuring out the next steps, connecting with the right people or making sense of all the little details that come with starting over, I’m here to help make the process feel clearer, more manageable and a whole lot less overwhelming.

Think of me as your guide on the ground. Someone who understands the experience firsthand and can help you navigate it with greater confidence, clarity and peace of mind.

Because moving to Italy is about so much more than getting here. It’s about building a life that feels right for you, finding your rhythm and feeling like you belong.

Moving abroad is transformative, and you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
