In 2023, we documented our cross-country road trip from Phoenix to Alaska (and back to Virginia!) on this channel. But in 2024, we started a new chapter as expats living in Italy, diving into Italian culture, everyday life abroad, and the joys (and challenges) of moving to Italy as Americans. Join us as we explore Italy, uncover hidden gems, and share tips for living abroad, and more. Whether you’re curious about expat life in Italy or looking for travel inspiration, we’re here to share our world with you!
