Based in Florence, Italy
Matteo and Micha, who publish content as The Global Expats on YouTube, share their firsthand experiences of living and traveling abroad. Their channel serves as a resource for practical tips and inspiration, particularly for individuals looking to travel on a budget or considering relocation overseas. They aim to guide viewers in exploring new destinations and immersing themselves in diverse cultures. Their expertise draws from a rich personal background, including extensive periods living and working across three continents and even on a cruise ship. Matteo, of South African and Italian heritage, previously worked as a tour guide in Italy, gaining deep local insights. Micha, born in Canada and raised in Los Angeles, was a producer before her expat life, which involved volunteering on an organic farm in Italy. The couple met in Florence and launched their YouTube channel in June 2020. Their content blends personal experiences with practical recommendations for travel gear, useful websites, and apps. These resources are designed to demonstrate how to build a life abroad realistically and without excessive financial strain. After documenting their experiences across all twenty regions of Italy, they are now transitioning to South Africa, where they plan to continue sharing their journey.
