The pros and cons of living in Italy as a digital nomad 
Have you dreamt about moving to Italy for a month, living in the romantic town of Florence, enjoying the beautiful hillsides of Tuscany on the weekends, and eating the best pasta of your life?
If so, this episode is for you…but it has a surprising twist.
Jeff recorded this solo episode after spending 1 month living in Florence with four other digital nomad friends. However, his experience wasn’t so magical, due to the wifi conditions and inability to get work done. This episode serves as a great reminder that the best vacation destinations are NOT always the same as the best digital nomad locations.
