(VIDEO AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY AND YOUTUBE) Sharing her journey between childhood and adulthood in Italy - full of cultural differences that shocked our American host - is Federica Mutti. Content Creator (47k+ YouTube), Published Author, and Co-Founder of MUNU Communications Agency.

 

From describing the university experience, to when Italians typically get a first job and why, to the difficulties of obtaining a drivers license, to contract terms, and more, join host Catrin Skaperdas, guest Federica, and friend-of-the-podcast Kenneth Hurley as they have an entertaining and thorough chat about what it's like growing up in Italy, inclusive of:

 

  • Why Federica didn't get her drivers license at the legal age in Italy
  • When Federica got her first job and why her father wasn't happy about it
  • An Italian's perspective on freelancing
  • What the "holy grail" of employment contracts is and why the trust in this contract is declining
  • How work-life balance is in Italy
  • What age Italians are considered adults
  • What a resident of Italy needs (by law) before they can freelance
  • Federica's interesting and inspiring experiences between 18 until 27 years old
