    With Italy, all depends where you go, and what you want. Do you want to be near the sea or the mountains. Small place, or a big place?

    Italy is a BIG country, with loads of cities and towns to choose from. Lanzarote is a small island. The north of Italy differs very much from the centre and the south. Sicily is way different to Milan. Again, some more info, and I might be able to help on the Italy bit...

    Ok, Italy would be my first choice as I have been to the north many times. I am married, no kids and have a mortgage on a house. Both of us work . I'm private sector, in retail management and horticulture plus I am a musician. The missus works in the public sector...We were thinking of taking a year off and renting out the house. I was figuring in getting work in either a garden centre or shop and suplementing with playing music at night. I noticed a lack of good live music in Italy. Loads in Lanzarote. Was wondering what the employment prospects are like in Italy.

    I suppose with the Irish , you'd probably get a steady gig in a pub in Lanzarote? Saying that from my experience in Italy, they would go gaga for Irish music, and if you could sing some Italian songs, it would be a real bonus too.
    Not sure of employment prospects in Italy currently. Could you combine TEFL with playing gigs, you could get by that way, would be a good way to spend a year too...
    Do you speak any Italian?
