Summary

#015 Italy travel fails and bloopers - our biggest travel mistakes and the lessons we learned from them

Please note - this episode was recorded before the current emergency took hold of the world. There is a lot of laughing and joking as we discuss some of the silly things we've done. We released this episode in the hope that it will help some people through this difficult time.

After looking at beautiful photos and inspiring articles online you may think travel to Italy is smooth sailing and without challenges. But here's the thing. After decades of travel, we still make mistakes and encounter problems planning our trips and when we are in Italy.

So to keep things real, we wanted to share some of our biggest travel fails, what we learned from them and how you can avoid making the same mistakes we did.  We had a lot of laughs discussing how things can and do go wrong when you travel in Italy. But it is important to bounce back. Some of these events are now among our favorite travel stories.

Grazie, thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy our show and would love you to subscribe for all the latest episodes.
