Absolutely fantastic! Such a beautiful and relaxing video. Thank you for taking us on this wonderful journey. Greetings from @nami-vlog! 🌍💜💜💜👍
Funny. But not so funny. Typical Americans making these videos on famous European sites. Mixing images. Towns. Landscapes. Even entire countries.
Most probably just a rip off of other peoples imagines, without really visiting the sites.
In this case of Sicily with Sardinia. (7.40-8.06) Marzamemi=Sicily.
Every trip I make to new places I check out YouTube, to find more and more of these "expert travelers" mistakes.
And with respect to speaking Italian: speaking local languages, even if just a little, is good, as long you don't speak it the way Brad Pitt did in Inglorious Basterds. For sure he did it for fun but he certainly sounded like 80% of the Americans trying it abroad.
Buongiorno! We are planing a week in Sardinia this April. While it may not be the ideal time to be there, what (loose) itinerary do you suggest? We are flying in and out of Cagliari. I travel to Italy often, but this will be my first time in Sardinia. I pride myself on not being an obnoxious American tourist – NOT a good look, and I can communicate well in Italian.
Grazie tanti! 🇮🇹🇮🇹
