About Us:
When we were in our early 20’s, chasing our own dreams of living in Europe, we met one night at a pub in Florence...11 months later, we were married! Having been together for 4 years now, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!
We moved back to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams - to pull off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip, traveling to all 20 regions of Italy by the end of 2022! We will be showcasing the impressive diversity all 20 regions of Italy have to offer - from the history, architecture, art, culture, food, traditions and so much more! 🇮🇹

Another beautiful city. Love seeing the kitty cats. We always look for them in our travels.

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Thanks grandma Bev! 🥰 and yes, we love them too! So cute 😍

[@fredyair1]

I love Sicily and you are making me jealous! We only spent a week there and missed a lot of the place you are going to. We'll have to go back! Love every minute of your videos, sad to see you leaving the island.

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Ah no, you will have to visit again Alfredo! There is just so much to see, do and eat that you will never run out of things! 😅 Thank you so much, but don't worry, we still have a few Sicily episodes coming up 🥰

[@alidavari6958]

That salary root word was nuts! I am so enjoying it when I learn a new thing whenever I watch your videos!

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Ahh thanks Ali! 🤗 and yes, we found the salt / salary thing fascinating too 😍 so happy you’re enjoying our videos! 🥰

[@alextp4563]

Have you ever researched your origins? Your surname is quite rare and it's from a famous and important noble family in Trapani. Some of them were italian patriots and Enrico Fardella also fought in the United States leading a regiment called Fardella of Union troops and was appointed general by President Lincoln. A statue of him is in New York.

[@tripecac6784]

We're very happy to see you're releasing videos again! And this one was great! We really liked the pacing, a very pleasant mix of scenery, historic info, and your engaging personalities!

[@steveyeoh4036]

Hi Mateo e Micha! Love your videos & I have learnt so much from you! You both seem to be enjoying yourselves everywhere you go too! One feedback comment - when Mateo introduces Palazzo Cavaretta (town hall) of Trapani, Sicily, he says the clock on the right of its facade is the oldest astronomical clock in Europe. I think he means the astronomical clock on the Torre Oscura which is located next to the town hall - this IS the astronomical clock which goes back to 1596. However, he can't claim it to be the oldest astronomical clock in Europe because the astronomical clock located on the Old Town City Hall in Prague's Old Town Square is much older as it was installed in the year 1410. Hope you don't mind the feedback........Cheers, Steve Y xxx 😊❤

[@mirp5497]

Food looked so good 👍

Thanks for the video! My father was adopted and I just found out through a DNA test that many of my close ancestors were from Trapani. I only found this out yesterday and I'm already planning my trip!

BEAUTIFUL…………….

[@ivankakralikova8419]

Hi, please what is the name of the restaurant on your video, pasta looks amazing❤🎉Thanks!

[@charlesdang4670]

I read some where that Trapani is famous for red coral productions.. I am thinking a lot of the red coral decorations (around 17:57 mark) in the Pepoli Museum pieces were produced in Trapani.... :)

[@KaterinaFerrara]

We want to see inside a little church and we want you to tell us what the sign says on the other church! Grazie Mille. Mi piace questo video molto.

[@JohnMooseMartelly]

Great video! We will be there in May. Can you give me an idea of the aggravation level of traveling with the new covid protocols?

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Thanks John! 🥰 The covid protocols are to wear a mask everywhere, and they check your vaccination card before entering most places like restaurants, museums, etc. The rules might change by May though, so be sure to keep an eye out for any updates. We’re sure you’re going to have an amazing trip! 🤗🇮🇹

[@brianfilkowski]

Where are you heading next?

[@AsifMalik-og6np]

I have to ask: When are you planning to go to region no 2? And what is your timetable of reaching region 20?

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Hey Asif, we have just announced our next region with an update of our goals for the future! 🥳 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5a3iYRupqx0hac

[@travelgreatvacations]

Sicily is one of the most interesting place on the face of the earth. I want to see the Stromboli volcano at night while it is erupting.😍

[@KaterinaFerrara]

Wait are you here in May? Doesn’t the infiorati happen in the spring? These are the flower 🌸 pictures. ❤️❤️☀️☀️

[@HugoGonzalez-py9fj]

Hello, I see you use cars to get around Sicily, how dificult is to get a Parking over there ?

[@rishishah7821]

Hey guys, I'm visiting trapani next month. Just wondering if there's any free parking in the city?

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Hey, yes there is as on the majority of the roads, however, there are certain times that you aren't allowed to park on certain streets due to street cleaning so pay attention to the signs with the days of the week and times. We hope you have an awesome time! 🥰

[@rishishah7821]

Thanks for the advice :)@@TheGlobalExpats

[@francescofasanella9215]

The ferries don't go to Lampedusa from there, I guess. Maybe you meant Pantelleria.

[@orvoloco8261]

23:42 .. and now directly from Lord of the Rings ...

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Hahahah right?! 😂 it was so cool 😍

[@JinKuongLi-fj6dy]

How are you Mateo?!?

[@Andrea-il-Pesarese]

Nei vostri viaggi sparsi per il mondo che ho visto, molte volte siete qui in ITALIA. Perché non ci venite ad abitare qui in Italia? Prima o poi penso di sì.......

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Stiamo vivendo qui, Andrea! 😉

[@filicoach]

Complimenti bel voto. Gradita iscrizione al mio siti filippo.Contiliano

[@paoloinnocenti6438]

It's so funny that Trapani is actually pronounced like you do in the trapanian slang🤣

[@alextp4563]

Trapanese dialect is not a slang

[@paoloinnocenti6438]

@@alextp4563 that's right, i was convinced that the actual meaning of "slang" Was dialetto but it's "gergo" 👍🏻

[@toddpartain6606]

My surname is Partain...scramble it and it's Trapani. Partain is a Norman name. But the Normans were Vikings and Romans. Little bit of interesting historical "coincidence"

[@MattD86]
