It’s now March and I have found many ways to manage while being strict with my finances. In this video, I explore some of the adversities I faced when initially coming to Italy as someone who struggles financially. Beyond that, I touch on some of the ways I have managed to make the most of my experience on a very strict budget. I discuss things like cost efficient food and restaurants, cheap travel, and even jobs I’ve done while abroad to ensure I am financially stable.

Joey McCarrick’s video on Budgeting in Italy

Published by Joseph Mccarrick

Hello! My name is Joey and I’m currently studying abroad with Temple University Spring 2022! Not only am I a Temple student abroad, but I am also enrolled at Temple University at their main campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! I’m a junior studying marketing. I am beyond excited to see as much of Rome as possible, the city is so vast and profound that I feel it would take a lifetime to truly take it all in, but I’m going to do my best to squeeze the lifetime amount of adventure into a few short months. I very much enjoy being out of my comfort zone. Prior to this program, I had never been out of the country or even been on a plane. For so long, I have wanted to come to Italy. My family is primarily Italian and my great grandparents were born there and came to the United States later. I am so fascinated with the culture! I want to start to learn Italian and be able to talk to locals on a deeper level than simply saying, “ciao” or asking for something at a restaurant. I think studying here in Rome with Temple is the perfect opportunity for me to explore all these aspects of living in Italy to the fullest extent.
