AdvertisementI used my savings and a $15,000 gift from my mom to travel and temporarily move to Italy in my 30s.
So when I turned 30 that year, I used my savings and $15,000 from my mom to travel, take a gap year, and find "La Dolce Vita" in Italy.
I loved the life I'd had in Italy, and I knew I had to finish what I'd started.
Living in Italy was a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and I'm thankful my mom helped me do itI'm grateful I got to experience Italy, and I don't regret asking my mom for help.
Finding self-confidence in Italy was a priceless experience, and I'll always cherish the memories from my gap year.
