    A Family Immersion Year in Genoa, Italy

    A Family Immersion Year in Genoa, Italy

    In this episode we are speaking with Jacqueline Jannotta, author of Let’s Leave the Country! A Guide to Your Family Year Abroad, which is the book she wished she’d had when embarking on her family’s yearlong adventure abroad.
    Her burning desire to experience life in Italy led her and her husband to rearrange their lives, put their daughters in a local public elementary school in Genoa, and have one of the most challenging (and fun!) years of their lives.
    The experience was so powerful, she wrote a guide for others, particularly those who might be intimidated by the idea, on how to create their own version of a life-changing adventure beyond the border.
    Push play to hear how they funded their immersion year, got visas, found accommodation, organized schools and more!
