About In Place Italy

Meet Kelly

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 how complex the reality of that transition would be. Between the paperwork, the language barriers, and the cultural nuances, I quickly learned that starting from scratch is as challenging as it is rewarding.

Through the frustrations and the wins, I gained a perspective you can’t get from the outside. I know exactly what it feels like when things finally "click" and you find your rhythm.

That experience is exactly why I started this business.

I help people move through the transition with confidence, clarity, and a genuine sense of ease, so you’re not constantly second-guessing or feeling alone in the process. Instead, you can focus on what really matters: building a life you love.

Think of me as your guide, helping you understand how things work, connect with the right people, and make decisions that feel good for you.

My goal is to make the journey feel more human and less overwhelming, so you can stop second-guessing and focus on what really matters: building a life you love.

Moving abroad is transformative, and you don’t have to do it alone.
