About this episode

Luca shares his experiences touring Sicily, discussing the local culture, expat life, and the reality of one euro homes.

Luca: Hey Anna Anna: Hi Luca. Where are you right now? Luca: I’m actually at Catania Airport. Anna: Why? Luca: I’ve just come back from a little tour of Sicily. I spent a week going around.

That’s actually a funny, a funny thing that all the expats I met, none of them bought a one euro home. They heard about the place from, of course from George Laing, and we know him. From the one euro home system, but none of them…
