I did. I had $500, a skateboard and a finance visa back in 1999. Good luck.

You need a valid visa. Doesn't come easy.

options: line up a work visa first. find a company that wants to hire you and who's wiling to say there are not enough americans willing or able to do your job...

apply to an american college (insanely expensive) and get a study visa.

find an american who will work with you to get a fiancé visa.

get a 3 month tourist visa and never leave. this will likely fuck you in the long run....

none of these options are easy.

Get a haircut via a lawnmower.
Make sure you also smell really bad.
Go to arcata california to seek out life changing job potential.
Go to the plaza and ask around for the chief pimp of california known as "sunflower."
She will hook you up with botanical collage work for an independent skateboard company never to exist.
(may require potential sexual favors)
Make sure you leave all your luggage and trash everywhere and in the way.

You will greatly fit in.

Honestly if my wife and I didn't have personal reasons we're tied to WA, we'd be looking to go the other direction haha.  The US is continuing it's downward spiral and I don't think it's going to get better anytime soon.  This is just how I feel though, not everyone would agree with that

Good luck with your journey!

I agree with you but where are you going to go? Canada, Iceland, Uruguay? The grass is always greener somewhere else but the planet is so interconnected and interdependent everywhere is fucked in its on way at the moment... #latecapitalism

Dude why would you want to leave Italy to move to the states?

I did the reverse like 3 years back and I NEVER want to go back to the states. FUCK THAT. I broke my knee here and paid €40 for 3 rounds of x-rays. I broke my collar bone in the states and paid $7000 for one round of x-rays and a photocopied sheet of rehab exercises I should do. NO THANKS.

Legally I don't think it matters what European country you're coming from. Unless you're coming from Turkey...
