00:00our first stop in italy is
00:27we took a flight from madrid to milan and then hopped on a train to venice it was actually
00:33much more affordable to fly into milan versus flying into venice directly so we just took a
00:39train from milan which was fairly easy to navigate and we booked business class tickets for the train
00:48which in my opinion were worth it i think it was only an additional 10 or 15 euro but it was so
00:55spacious and made the trip so much more comfortable it went by so fast we arrived in the late afternoon
01:01and we just felt so tired so we went out for an early dinner and this was probably some of the
01:06best food i had actually while we were in venice surprisingly on the first night i got a spicy
01:12arrabbiata sauce so good
01:14and it's so funny but so many people asked me while we were traveling how we were able to afford all of
01:22this and one thing we did that i think was so smart is we booked a hotel actually outside the island
01:27of venice and then took a bus which only took about 10 minutes into the city every day we're in venice
01:34first thing i need is a coffee
01:38yeah pizza and he goes so hungry and my head is hurting because i haven't had coffee yet
01:44on my hunt to find coffee we stumbled across this bar slash cafe and they had just taken this right
01:58out of the oven and it looked so good we weren't really planning on eating pizza at 10 a.m but
02:03we just had to spoiler alert i'm probably gonna say this throughout the entire video but it was so good
02:09like everything i feel like i've eaten in italy was insane
02:12so we had pizza part one and now nico's on the hunt for pizza stop number two
02:22we're basically just gonna be walking around and eating this entire time
02:27did you know in italy you actually have to cut your own pizza because they just don't usually
02:43pre-slice it for you anyways after we got pizza we had to go and look for a gelato spot there were
02:49only three places that we went to that really stood out to me in venice and this was one of them for all
02:55places that i loved i'll put a star next to it so you know that this is one of the three that i
03:00recommend you go to this spot has fewer flavors but they are all so fresh and it came highly rated
03:06by so many different travel guides and now i see why
03:09it's day two first things first i knew i had to get myself a little pastry with my coffee because
03:33i was craving it this day nico of course wanted some more pizza so we also got ourselves a few
03:39slices and it was only four euro per slice which to me seems pretty affordable
03:43i also got myself a cute little nutella croissant look how tiny but it was so good and it was stuffed
03:50nutella after pizza we were just walking and we came across this fruit stand so we bought some figs
03:56and peaches and peaches and they were so good and juicy and fresh
04:00pizza number five or six
04:10how is it nico
04:15so you might be wondering what is there to do in venice besides just eat and while we mostly
04:23spent our time eating and walking around the best thing you can do in venice is just get lost
04:28there are amazing museums and of course classic historical sites that you should visit in the
04:34city but everyone has said sometimes the best thing you can do in venice is just walk around
04:39with no plan and go where it takes you and honestly going into it with not much of a plan
04:44could have backfired on us but i think that's why we had so much fun
04:48i had heard that traditional aberral spritzes are served with an olive so i was really excited
04:57to see that this one had one and honestly it actually fits really well like the slight subtle
05:03taste of olive i really liked it
05:05this pasta was so good and even though this place is apparently a chain i actually really liked the
05:20food the quality was there the pizza was delicious so if you have the chance check out this place as well
05:25so we already got pizza and i don't really like need tomato like i'm not craving it that bad
05:37but i think i want to go anyways and see if i if i see something i like i'm gonna get it
05:43um i don't know do you know that feeling where you're like not super hungry for it or you're not
05:47like super craving it but you're also like well it's there like i'm in venice so i might as well
05:54get gelato let me know in the comments your favorite gelato flavor i ended up going with
05:59this really dark chocolate and then we also got some cherries after
06:03this was our last morning in venice before taking a train to florence we came back to the first
06:27place that we found on our first day i got myself a cappuccino and of course we had to get the focaccia
06:33pizza that nico was obsessed with we ended up getting i think two or three more of these slices
06:3910 a.m pizza for breakfast is that weird
06:43yeah this one was better than the rest
06:51we walked around for a bit and i got myself some snacks because i cannot survive without snacks
07:00and then we took the train to florence
07:03here's a little look at our hotel this was much more affordable than all the other hotels we were
07:15looking at and honestly we just knew we needed somewhere to sleep and that was it so it worked
07:20perfectly for us i also didn't know this while booking but they gave us free breakfast every morning
07:24as well i actually studied abroad in florence for only a month before covid hit and i had to leave
07:31but this cafe i went to probably over 10 times while i was there just for the month and i love the food
07:37i think it's all fresh healthy so if you need a salad place or just a place to break up the monotony
07:43of pasta and pizza you could check out this cafe in florence
07:47oh that looks so good
08:14another place on my italy list is sprino in florence and this is hands down the best gelato i've had
08:23i think because the flavors are just so unique and so fresh
08:27also i love how my boyfriend says he doesn't like sweets and then steals my ice cream
08:31i look so obnoxious filming everything people are probably like what is this taurus doing
08:57one of the things i loved about being on this extended vacation and traveling and eating
09:20just such amazing food is i really felt comfortable eating what i wanted when i wanted
09:26and truly just enjoying my time i really felt like i could just eat without overthinking and without
09:33seeing food as good or bad and just as something that i ate to fuel myself as i walked across this
09:39beautiful city
09:45also i know this isn't very italian but there was one day where we were really craving sushi and we found
09:51this all you can eat sushi place that was pretty affordable so if you're ever like us and you just
09:56want to eat a ton without breaking the bank this place was well worth the money i ate enough sushi to
10:02satisfy the fact that i hadn't had it for over a month we are just walking and exploring the sights
10:09and it is so hot right now that we're both dying i think we might need to go back to the hotel
10:15to just avoid the heat
10:17and we're back to my favorite gelato place literally the next day
10:30let's do it
10:37do it
10:39do it
10:45do it
10:51do it
10:55that looks really really good
11:09okay everyone talks about this sandwich place in Florence so we had
11:39to go check it out and it was well worth the visit i honestly didn't know which sandwich
11:45to order because they all sounded so good and i would come back just so i can try different
11:49combinations and different types of meat and cheeses because they all looked so so good
11:55wow
11:56i got la inferno and it was so good this cut of meat was the one that the guy at the front
12:14recommended i think you're really gonna like mine mine's insane the pork is so juicy and it was amazing
12:21i liked it even better than nico's even though the prosciutto was also really good
12:24also side note i don't know if many people can relate to this but i used to be terrified of eating
12:29bread because i thought carbs would make me fat which is so untrue and the complete opposite carbs are
12:36necessary to be happy healthy and energized so i'm really glad i got to get over that food fear because one of the best parts about travel is eating all the local food and not overthinking anything and this sandwich was one of the best things i've ever eaten i've got to get over that food fear because one of the best parts about travel is eating all the local food and not overthinking anything
12:47anything and this sandwich was one of the best things i've ever eaten in my life
12:51also something we did to save money to travel to the airport was take this like
13:19kind of a train but it was above ground bus kind of train situation and it was only 1 euro 50 to go all
13:27the way to the airport and get our rental car to drive to tuscany
13:31did you make all of this it's so beautiful
13:50do it with your picture oh my god we're keeping our cup
13:58lunch was a very wholesome homemade meal with a ton of vegetables which was much needed i felt like my
14:05digestive system thanked me but then we went out for dinner and i got cacio a pepe which is very creamy
14:10pasta as well as another aperol spritz and it was so good we also shared some pizzas and yeah can you
14:17just tell that this whole trip is just definitely a foodie vacation
14:28this is like my seventh gelato
14:31i haven't worked out in what feels like ages but i woke up and it's 5 a.m and it looks pretty cold
14:37outside like nice and cool so i'm actually gonna try to go on a run and the only reason i'm recording
14:43myself right now because this is like i just like want time for myself to de-stress relax um i've
14:50been feeling really bloated lately and kind of just like need to clear my head so i'm recording this
14:56just to like in a way hold myself accountable and tell myself that i can do it not because i have to
15:02but because i want to and i want to feel strong and capable
15:10let's do it it's actually so refreshing and cool right now i'm excited also a little nervous i hope i
15:17don't throw up because it's also gonna be a lot of uphill and downhill also excuse my hair i don't
15:23know whenever i'm running i'm like it's gonna get messy anyways so no point in trying
15:37i am getting major shaving like i feel like i'm walking like a duck right now because it hurts so
15:42bad to run and have my legs touch i'm not a runner so i never really have experienced this before
15:50um but it sucks how does anyone run and not get chafing like it hurts so bad
16:06so
16:14so
16:20so
16:36after going out for breakfast we swam all day and then it was time for an early dinner and
16:55homemade pizza we started dinner around 4 p.m and we ate until probably 8 p.m we ate a total of
17:0230 pizzas between the seven of us so you can just imagine this was such an amazing feast
17:08and i didn't film all of it because i just wanted to enjoy my time
17:11the first thing we did was stop inside a cheese store and it was so smelly but the cheese tasted
17:28amazing i also bought myself this cute bracelet and we walked around and just explored the cute
17:33little town now we are going inside the cellars where they keep the barrels
17:47i tasted so many wines and probably had the equivalent of like four glasses by the end of
18:11the meal but wine tasting in tuscany was just such an amazing experience to have
18:15so we're actually staying in cortona at my aunt's house um that she is selling so this is the first
18:28and last time i'll ever be in cortona at least at this house today we're going to the local market
18:34it is saturday so there's going to be a huge variety of fresh fruits vegetables and also some like
18:40jewelry and clothing items we'll see but yeah i'm excited
18:44how was it
19:14what do you want the rest
19:16yeah show her yeah
19:32we bought ourselves some fruit and sandwiches and now we're gonna go pick
19:51some lettuce from the garden and make ourselves a lunch
20:02after lunch and a few snacks we went to this lake and shared fries i had a diet coke before going
20:15out to dinner between the five of us we shared three of these traditional appetizer plates
20:20and i love having multiple flavors in my mouth and trying different things so this was such a good
20:25meal and of course had to get gelato after dinner and i swear i feel like i've had gelato every
20:30single night while i was in italy and i was there for two weeks
20:39after a week in cortona we came back to florence but this time with my family
20:44and honestly florence is one of my favorite cities it's so romantic and just picturesque
20:49we are here in florence having a total foodie adventure i feel like this entire trip has
21:04just been me unleashing my inner child eating anything i want and it's been such an enjoyable
21:09time i talk a lot about this but like food freedom is just amazing
21:16these next two restaurants that we ate at and the activity we did after are things i highly
21:21recommend in florence if you ever go nico got this burger that they served without a top bun but it was
21:27so good i got this salad that was amazing before meeting a friend from mocha and gelato as you probably
21:32already know this was my favorite gelato spot and then this rooftop restaurant is beautiful you can
21:37go for just a drink or snacks or even a meal
21:51after a drink and some snacks we went on a sunset boat ride and this was one of the highlight
22:10activities i did while in italy our guide was so amazing and told us all these interesting facts
22:16about florence while i got to drink a glass of wine and it's perfect for groups but also
22:21super romantic for couples and that was sadly our last day in italy before getting on a flight to
