TikToker @rozeinitaly offered some insights into how her 'perspective has changed after moving abroad.'

In a viral video that has been viewed 1.2 million times, TikToker @rozeinitaly revealed aspects of American culture that she doesn't miss after experiencing life in Italy.

The creator Roze captioned her video:


"A few ways my perspective has changed since moving abroad, maybe some other American immigrants can relate?"

The video is accompanied by the words:

"5 things I'll never do after moving from the USA to Italy."

Roze revealed that—number one—she'll never be in a rush again.

"One of the first things that attracted me to Italian culture is the fact that people don't seem to be in a rush."
"There are no drive-thrus. People don't walk and eat."
"If you need a coffee, you sit down and drink a cup of coffee."
"There's always time for that."

Roze shared that—number two—she will never own a car again.

Due to the walkability of Italy, everything she needs is within walking distance.

She said that she is also happy to be free of the cost of owning a car and not being a contributor to the negative environmental impacts of driving.

"I don't plan on ever living in a place where you need a car to get around."

Roze also said that she refuses to "live for work."

"Now, I'm not saying that people don't work here."
"People work very hard, but there's not as many people who make working hard their whole personality."

On a related note, she shared one can't rely on the internet—as we do in the USA—to find out if a business is open.

"If you look it up on Google Maps, it says that it's open from 10 am to, I think, 7 or 7:30 pm."
"Does that mean I can go there at like 2:30, 3 o'clock?"
"No."
"What is not listed on there is that they are closed from 1 to 4 for lunch."

Finally, Roze shared she doesn't have to "worry about going bankrupt for medical bills" as Italy has universal healthcare.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
