  • Hello again! This episode, my dear friend Brian is back to visit in Italy with his partner Gareth. We eat pasta, laugh and chat about food, culture and Brian being the ultimate Italophile. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. If you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

    You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy and my contact details on my website:

    Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

    I didn't watch this to start with as i thought it would be too silly. We lost so much during the pandemic, this week for first time in a year i sat in a pub with friends, as i haven't been social, watching you all laughing was so much fun. Thankyou . Hopefully after three years i will get to travel again at the end of the year, and sit and laugh and laugh and see the joy again.

I wish Brian all the luck in the world with whatever new venture he decides on he truly is "simpatico".
