About Me
I’m Caesar (Cesare, Cezary, Cesar), a dual U.S.-Polish citizen who knows firsthand what it means to start over. As an immigrant to the U.S. and later an expat in Hong Kong, Paris, Amsterdam, London, and Rome, I’ve lived the reality of adapting to new cultures, systems, and ways of life. Each move taught me not just how to survive but how to thrive.
My career in cybersecurity and IT leadership has taken me across five continents and nearly 40 countries, and I’ve traveled to more than 80 nations. That global perspective—part professional, part personal—shaped how I understand culture, adaptation, and the practical realities of settling somewhere new, whether for work, retirement, or a complete lifestyle change.
When I began planning my own move to Italy, I quickly realized how complex the process can be: visas, finances, healthcare, choosing the right town. So I created a structured, step-by-step approach to cut through the overwhelm. Now I share that same framework with others through my books, consulting services, and this site.
If you’re dreaming of a new life in Europe, I can help you make the leap with clarity and confidence—whether you’re just starting to explore or already packing your bags. Let’s build a plan that works for you.
