For many, Italy is a dream vacation destination. For others, they dream of moving there. Lorrah Minton made her relocation dream a reality. In March, Minton bought a home in Mussomeli, Italy, a town near Sicily, for 57,000 euros, or about $62,000. She owns three properties in Sicily and is closing on a fourth this month. She now helps others plan their move to Italy.

Minton, and her sister, Lisa, lay out their journeys buying and renovating properties, as well as their travel — like a trip to Wales — on their blog The Amateurs Abroad. Moving abroad is a popular topic, and Minton told Business Insider she received so many inquiries for help that she started doing some consulting on relocation.
