When in Rome - DO AS THE ROMANS DO! In this video, I share the things I found to be Italian Culture Shocks as an American living in Italy and the Cultural Differences between Italy vs. USA! I grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Italy in my early-to-mid 20's. The first time I went to Italy was to study abroad in Rome, then after finishing university I decided to move back to be a tour guide, living in both Rome & Florence, and now Sicily. If you have had similar culture shocks, or perhaps different ones, I would love to hear them so leave me a comment below! :)

🌍 Follow us through all 20 Regions of Italy, starting off in Sicily!

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 recently 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! 🇮🇹
