ABOUT:
Hi! I’m Valeria, and I’m a Ukrainian expat and digital nomad, currently living in Italy. I first came here without speaking the language and being totally unprepared, but pretty sure this is gonna be an adventure of a lifetime! I love discovering Italian culture, Italian people and, of course, Italian food. I'm a full-time content creator, so when I'm not making travel videos, I'm taking photos, writing and creating artworks. Studying is another passion of mine, and currently I’m finishing my Masters degree at the University of Bologna. Here I post regular travel vlogs, tips on expat life, moving abroad, personal growth and self-esteem as a woman living abroad, so hop on and welcome on board!

As italian I would recomend not to be stuck only to the "must" destinations (like Venice, Florence and Rome) but to move around to towns less known, less turistical but full of history and interesting things to see. Italy is plenty of these places.

[@stepin2theblue]

Would love to hear some recommendations! We want to do this but have no idea what those places are!

[@claudiograssi1037]

@@stepin2theblue Ohhh, I don't feel to be so "professional" to edit a complete list. Also, even if I'm italian, I'm limitated because I've not been all over my country. Anyway, something. All over the northen arc of the Alpes, Mantova, Bologna (that is also my town), le 5 Terre (the 5 Lands, close to La Spezia), Siena, Lucca, Monteriggioni, San Giminiano (in Tuscany), Perugia, Naples-Napoli, Amalfi, Matera in the south. I realize that I'm missing tens and tens of others.

Scrivi in italiano ti capirà la signorina 😄

[@WilliamLesourd]

@@claudiograssi1037 Pienza in Toscana and the surrounding Val d'Orcia. Better go there in Spring or in Autumn though

Also, don’t expect the hours of operation to be the same as USA. If you are passing a little local place and they are open, don’t plan to go back later, they may be closed for vacation or a break during the day. But go in at the moment. Visit these places owned by the locals, you help the local area and get the authentic, best experience.

I'm loving your channel so much with your fresh perspective about Italy as a living museum and tourist learning to respect it. Keep up the good work.

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Thank you so much!

[@explorinwithlaurin]

These are such good tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Glad you like them!

Le monete della fontana di Trevi, vengono date alla Caritas, per il cibo per i poveri e senza tetto(vagabondi) e non al comune di Roma.

Love to travel to Italy

[@jwright9639]

Thank you for the travel tips!

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Thank you, glad it was helpful!

[@lyndalombardi6473]

Grazie mille. This is a must see for anyone planning to travel to Italy. As you said many times it is about respect. It is so arrogant for anyone visiting any foreign country to expect that the people of that country will bow down to your every whim because you are a tourist. If you want things to be like they are at home, stay home. Visiting other countries is an opportunity to experience a different culture. Be open to different foods, customs and languages. Try to learn a few key phrases in the language to show your appreciation and respect. If you try you will find the local citizens are appreciative and this makes for a better experience for all. I 💖love💚🤍❤ Italy.

Secondo video che guardo, il primo era riguardo la scelta di vivere in Italia e le conseguenti difficoltà, non posso far altro che farti i miei complimenti. Da italiano sono un po' perplesso riguardo gli Chef che chiederebbero conto di quello che lasci sul piatto (mai successo nella vita) ma se ti è capitato ... ok (è comunque strano, credimi). Scusa se non scrivo in inglese (lo capisco ma parlarlo è un altra cosa) ma immagino tu comprenda lo stesso, d'altronde il commento era solo per farti (in questo caso di nuovo), i complimenti, brava e in bocca al lupo. 👍

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Grazie mille! Haha a me è veramente capitato 🙈

[@ronaldvlogscreator6027]

I think that is more ridiculous having to cover yourself to enter in a cathedral. E sono italiano.
