spring break in italy! | positano, amalfi, sorrento, praiano

[@mont844]

This is what I expect when I watch a travel vlog, actual footage of the towns etc rather than people talking in a hotel room. So beautiful cannot wait to visit here!

[@mariambergamini]

from an italian girl, i love how you depicted this trip, the video is very calming (and aesthetic!) but also useful for whoever wants to go there, like it's pretty realistic, also with the sudden weather change and all. Of course the scenery it's beautiful, i already went there, but you managed to make it even more magical and soothing. Thank you for the wonderful amalfi coast representation! I love your vibe and your channel! Keep it up!

[@sofmathew]

thank you so much!!✨🤍🌷☺️

[@LOTO8142]

Could not agree more with that has been commented! That was a great video showing all the realities of travelling and covering the important points, from transport, food to weather showing great videos from the views ( rather than selfies), well done Ladies! 👏👏👏

[@yenmy7634]

the way you capture everything by your phone and tell stories is just so good 😭💖 keep it up im your fan from now on 😩

[@sofmathew]

thank you so much!!☺️🫶🌷

[@Lioninthenight]

Well done. I loved Sorrento. I stayed there, and then I traveled to Amalfi, Positano, Naples, Pompei. You have a nice voice.

[@sohababar3170]

Absolutely a treat to watch. I loved the details you mentioned, the way you filmed and your voice was nice and calming. Felt like I was there with you!

[@sofmathew]

[@marianaaceves5040]

This was so beautiful to watch! 🤍

[@sheilagrayman7147]

I really enjoyed this video! The moderator's voice is soft, calming, and positive, here! First time travelers should enjoy the different experiences of visiting such gorgeous locations; and here they made the very best out of unexpected weather conditions! Did the sun not shine most of the time? 🌷🍋The impressions were beautiful! It is a great and smart idea to go to a historic part of the world for Spring Breaks! 🏵🌸🌺 Well done, ladies!💐👍 See you, in Capri 2024!🍦🍝🍋🧚‍♀️ And stay beautiful.🌷🍋

[@dianasofiarz]

such a lovely video!

[@sofmathew]

thank youu!☺️🌷

[@reycosep5916]

Bella città Italia❤

[@redpat8832]

Lovely. Thanks. 🙏

[@Ihonestlydontknoww]

the cinematography is really out of this world!, and the font is even so pretty what font did you use?

[@sofmathew]

thanks so much! i used a font called apple chancery on final cut pro i think!

[@cattirina]

Positano is amazing

[@sofmathew]

it is! it was my favorite place on the coast

[@hannahcollins4862]

Obsessed with this!!!! I’m always so curious because I want to go to Italy so bad (2024🤞) what do you do about the language barrier?

[@sofmathew]

italy was so beautiful! most people speak english there but otherwise we wrote down some simple phrases in case we needed them. but for the most part people could understand us and it was never an issue! people were really kind to us there

[@hannahcollins4862]

@@sofmathew amazing!! Thank you this puts me much more at ease! I took a semester of Italian so I’m hoping I can atleast have some phrases in my back pocket lol!

[@vanesam1710]

hi, I love your video

[@sofmathew]

hi! kind of a mix of clothes but the green dress is from abercrombie a while ago and the yellow dress was from a boutique store in positano but i can’t remember the name! those stores are everywhere though! the rest of my clothes are a mix from h&m, princess poly, and urban outfitters. hope that helps!

[@jamylouannerhiz9079]

❤❤❤❤

[@pornpantecharungchaikul]

beautiful vdo and look very chill and cosy. May I ask what time of the year you went there. it seems not so crowded.

[@sofmathew]

I went in mid-march! definitely off season, just a bit chilly some days

[@pornpantecharungchaikul]

@@sofmathew thanks for the answer and you did very well in stylizing your vdo.

[@emilyjuare7271]

Im going to the Amalfi coast this summer, do you have any tips for me??

[@sofmathew]

definitely try and pack light if you can especially if you might have a lot of stairs to climb! we took a carry on each and were struggling on that you can kind of check ahead and see how far you are from the beach to determine how much you might have to climb. the further back your place, the more stairs typically. explore the different cities! there is a bus app you might need if you are taking public transport called unico campaigna or something that you can buy tickets ahead of time.

[@sha.elaine]

Hi! Great video. We will be there in a few weeks. What was the name of that app you said helped with transportation on the Amalfi Coast? I couldn't find it.

[@sofmathew]

unico campaigna!

[@heathergriffin5711]

Were you there in March? I’m going in April and trying to figure out what weather to pack for! Any tips for spring outfits?

[@sofmathew]

i was there two weeks ago! it was definitely getting warmer, but bring a sweater for the evenings/mornings

[@sofmathew]

you might not be able to swim since it was freezing, but one day people were laying out on the beach in swimsuits

[@sofmathew]

definitely bring dresses/skirts/spring-wear and you can always layer on top of them if you need to! if you walk a lot that warms you up too

[@mimiart2209]

Love your video! May I know what’s the app again please? The one that’s needed to get the bus tickets? Thank you.

[@sofmathew]

it’s called unico campaigna! i just searched up unico on the app store and it has a blue icon! just a note, we were only able to sign up using a european phone number. it wouldn’t let us enter US numbers in case you have that.

[@pewphyu]

amalfi coast is so beautiful and unreal! this is a random question but i noticed in the description you mentioned that you used an iphone 14 pro to film this vlog. can you please share what your camera settings are? whenever i film on my phone, it always focuses on an object or the whole image is blurry! thanks 💛

[@sofmathew]

i record video at 1080p HD at 60 fps! that’s what i’ve found is best for stabilization while still being good quality!

[@sofmathew]

oh also i have hdr video turned off

[@pewphyu]

@@sofmathew Is this for the “record video” setting? I’ve just changed mine! Did you turn any other toggles on? My “enhanced stabilisation” is automatically on! Thank you xx

[@sofmathew]

oh yes, i also have enhanced stabilization turned on too!

[@annamartin3489]

Great video

[@sofmathew]

thank you!

[@iidatoljamo]

Did the off season had any affection to your trip? Me and my friends are going next week and we were thinking if there is like lot of places closed etc.

[@sofmathew]

hi! i definitely think more things were closed than normal tourist season but there was still a lot to do and we were able to do everything that we planned to do i’m pretty sure. the only thing was that it was too cold to swim when we went

[@sofmathew]

there were less people than peak season, but a great way to interact with the local people more

[@michellestewart173]

Well done 😊

[@sofmathew]

thank you!!!

[@happycitywalker]

Wowww🤙🤙Amazing video Again My Friend 🧡🩷 Keep going 🤗🤗 I like your job😎 Greatings from Norway 🇧🇻🩷

[@sofmathew]

thank you!!

[@emersoncorah3548]

hello! question! did you feel safe having your luggage on the bus?

[@sofmathew]

hi! yes! there was always a few people with their luggage on the bus and there are also overhead compartments you can store up to carry on sizes in. i just recommend trying to get a seat because it’s difficult standing while the bus is on the winding roads and having to manage suitcases at the same time

[@Bafelina]

You all videos film whit phone? 😊 or what camera you use?

[@sofmathew]

yes! iphone 14 pro camera

[@cheyzah]

can u please clarify how many days total u spent there? im wanting to go to the amalfi coast but also lake como (ppl said just do amalfi or lake como) then like perhaps venice, rome, florence. if i am thinking 10 days what do u think i should do?

[@sofmathew]

hi! we were there from saturday (arrived midday) until wednesday (traveled in the morning to florence). then we spent wednesday night through saturday morning in florence with a wine tour day trip in between. finally we went to pisa for a couple hours and flew out from there. so our trip was 7 days.

[@sofmathew]

definitely travel around when you are in italy! especially if you are there for 10 days. with 10 days you can definitely fit in 3 cities if you want to have a chill trip but you can also fit all of that if you want a more fast paced one. i’d recommend choosing amalfi, rome, and florence because there’s a lot to do in all of them.

[@kayliesalopek8242]

How is that app for travel spelled again? I can’t find it

[@sofmathew]

unico campaigna!

[@parthosahahehim955]

Which month did you visit?

[@amandayusko5079]

Can you tell me the app for the buses?

[@sofmathew]

it’s called Unico Campania app! It’s a blue icon

[@hanaaaa8383]

what was the name of the bus ticket app? :') cant find it

[@sofmathew]

unico campaigna!

[@anikacukingnan965]

What was the weather like? Did you just need to wear one jacket?

[@sofmathew]

hi! when we went it was around 50-60 fahrenheit so at times we needed a light jacket or sweater to layer with. only one of the days i was able to get away with wearing a short sleeve dress and that was when it was 65 and sunny

[@sanjanan6086]

Hi can you please tell when was this filmed?

[@sofmathew]

a couple weeks ago!

[@opeyolujonwo1976]

How did you find getting around by bus? Do they stop running after a certain time?

[@sofmathew]

the bus was really convenient for us! sometimes it would be running late but there was typically one every 15 minutes. they ran from around 6 am to 9 pm if i can remember correctly and that was during off-peak season

[@cestriatherapy7832]

I think you were there at the wrong time of year to experience Sorrento fully. None of the beaches were open from what I could see. You could have gone down to the port and got a boat trip and there are lots of beautiful restaurants. I don't really see any of these towns as having a different demographic. They are all beautiful and full of culture. You do need money though. They are really for weathier travellers.
