Utopia Italia
Utopia Italia is a project I started to share my experiences moving to Italy with very little preparation during the pandemic. It is primarily an essay project called Utopia: An Italian Study, and also consists of an Instagram, which acts as a hub for the entire project, and general travel recommendations on Thatch. I also record every essay as a podcast.
Almost everything on Utopia Italia is completely free, though there is a paid subscriber option that gets you access to Utopia Unfiltered, a podcast wherein I have a few drinks and freestyle chatter about something related to Italy as suggested by a subscriber.

Utopia: An Italian Study is a somewhat futile attempt to make sense of life in Italy by pinning bizarre happenings down like butterflies* for observation and further study.
It’s just one woman’s personal narrative of coming to terms with the quirks of living in bella Italia.
Free posts & podcasts are shared on Sundays on the substack.
You can also find the free podcasts on most podcast platforms, or by using the RSS feed here.
Paid content is uploaded on Thursdays & at random times.
But why pay for the cow, you may ask, when you get the milk for free?
Well, you might get the milk, but you’re not getting the cheese. Paid subscribers receive access to an additional podcast series called “Utopia Unfiltered", wherein I have a drink and freestyle chatter about a subject suggested by a subscriber. You’ll also be invited to participate in Q&A sessions, and receive any other little special tidbits I can think of. And I can think of a lot of stuff!
