About Us:
When we were in our early 20s, 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 6 years now, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!
We moved back to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams - to pull off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip, travelling to all 20 regions of Italy! We will be showcasing the impressive diversity all 20 regions have to offer - from the history, architecture, art, culture, food, traditions and so much more! 🇮🇹

one word... Pietrasanta
Ma non ci credoooooo..... siete a Lucca in Piazza dell'Anfiteatro!!! Uno dei posti più belli della Toscana (e del mondo...).
Welcome back to Italy you guys!! What an adventure!!😂
From bird poop, to cancelled flights, to wonky screens and non-working transportation all while sleep deprived, you guys took it all in stride…keeping me laughing all the way! You guys are the best! Glad everything worked out though! ❤
I love that you showed the truth of the long travel days and the exhaustion you feel, even when you are excited and getting along fine. Your pizza and beers at the end is so perfect.
*Yay, we get to see your sweet shining faces and an hour long episode too?!! What a treat! You both make my heart smile. Sending you all the good vibes! It's always fun seeing where the road is gonna take you. 😀🥰*
Aww you are so sweet! 🥹 Thank you so much, that really means a lot to us! 🥰❤️
Glad to see you back in Italy! Oh my with traveling, but the enjoyment is always within the country you are exploring.

Hey guys, it’s really great to see you guys back. Your videos are informative and entertaining. Went to Sicily about 6 months ago. Your vid’s were really helpful. After coming back I rewatch the vids. Brings back the great memories from our family trip there.
Aww thank you so much Scott, that really means a lot to us! 🥰 We are so happy you found our videos helpful & we hope you had an amazing family trip! 😍🇮🇹
Yay your back
Aww thanks Sam! 🥰
Ichnusa is the old greek (and Phoenix) name of Sardinia and it means foot step, since the shape of the island reminds of it.
Welcome back guys! Nice to see you back together and happy once again! You must have wonderful families and, damn, South Africa looks really awesome!
So happy you are back ❤
Aww thank you so much, you’re so sweet! 🥰❤️
Safe travels ❤
Thank you! 🥰🇮🇹
Welcome back! 🤗
welcome back here guys!! can't wait to see the next videos!!! hug
Aww thank you so much! 🥰
Thank goodness you got to sit together. Worst part of traveling is getting there in our opinion. How tall are you too? We are tall so never have enough leg room. What a mess to get to the bus. That would have been so hard for me, and then you had to stand! We’re a lot older than you “kids”, so probably wouldn’t attempt such a trip anymore. Love the color of your new luggage. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.
Welcome back to Italy guys. Such a fun episode…thanks for sharing. You’re both looking gorgeous as usual xoxo 💋 Justin & Michael
Hi guys, what travel backpacks do you use and recommend? Thanks for sharing all your adventures. Helping 3 sisters with their pending 4 week Italy adventure
So happy to see you back..love your videos…bring them on..safe travels❤
Welcome back, guys! thanks for the update, I'll be in Bologna next weekend!!!!
Absolutely love Lucca, need to know how to book that apartment 😀
Great to see you guys back in Italy ❤
Glad you made it back to Italy! ☺️ As someone who also lives in another country than their family, sometimes you really need the extended family time back home ☺️ I am glad you had fun! We recently (early september) went to Firenze, Pisa and Bologna! We watched all of your videos to prepare and did a lot of your recommended activities, so thank you! (Climbed the Duomo cupola and the Bell tower in Firenze and the tower of Pisa 👍) When we arrived at Bologna airport the Marconi express aslo was not going and it was utter chaos! Especially at the busses and taxis 😱 We managed to get a seat on the local bus to Firenze 4hrs later 😑 Anyway, we had a wonderful trip regardless! ☺️ Looking forward to your further adventures.
Cannot wait to see your next video.
Nice to see you back on the trail. Happy travels!
Hehe thanks Alfredo! 🥰🇮🇹
The train ticket validation seems like an italian railways preposterous protocol: you've already bought the ticket, the CC payment is already in the pipeline, the railways will get their payment, and you can't go back, so validating electronically does not change anything.
Validating or 'punching' the paper ticket does not change anything either and does not actually ensure that the purchaser of the ticket will not use it again: the ticket has a destination, a time code and a date code, so you can't use it for other trips.
Who's running the railways in Italy? Children!? Bambini!:-))))
Yay, great to see you guys back and heading back to Italy. Can't wait to see what you'll share. Do you pay extra to enter the lounge at Dubai or is it part of a frequent flyer program or something? I flew through Dubai on my visit to Italy this year and didn't think I could go to any of the lounges, but I'd love to know how to do this for my trip next year. 12 + hours to/from Australia to Dubai is brutal, so a lounge is needed 😩
Oooh, train travel in Italy. I loved it, so easy, so convenient, got me almost everywhere I needed to go. I miss it so much. But, stairs only in train stations suck! I also remember Bologna train station being a bit of a challenge...
Ha. I enjoyed those cream puffs so much, I ate my neighbour's who didn't want theirs.
Ok, I think you're now pretty accustomed to jet lag but I wonder how you are used to face it while traveling so much through so many continents.
PLEASE tell me South Africa vlogs are coming!?
Aww haha yea they will be coming out on Micha’s 2nd channel! 🥰🇿🇦
Hey Micha - I saw that you used the EU Passport line when entering Italy. Do you now have an Italian passport also? Or as the spouse of an Italian citizen, do you get to use the EU Passport line even though you only have a US passport?
Can you write under my comment the ranking of the Italian regions you have visited🤔
Kiss and ride is dropping people off kiss them and leave. More time you don’t have lol
I heard that for regional trains, you now have to validate your ticket. Thanks for explaining that. Is that only with the app? I like ordering my tickets ahead of time online and I like to print them out on paper. Will those printed tickets still already be validated as before (since I will be buying them online)? If not, how do you validate a ticket printed on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper? Also, as far as I'm concerned, Lucca has the worst train station in Italy. Not enough signs there to direct you and I saw no sign there when the train arrived that said Lucca. And coming in second is Bologna Centrale. Definitely hard to get around. I too had problems using an elevator. Instead, use le scale mobile (the escalators).
The issue with the Bologna train station is that it's too large
Lucca train station is simple and straightforward are you kidding
Yes, it's a simple station. But, they need more signs to easily direct you to the stairs, for what exit is for what, more track number signs and signs that stand out saying Lucca when your train arrives at the station. You can miss your stop if wearing headphones or earbuds and can't hear the arrival announcement. A number of us at the station were confused. They just need more signs. @@francescofilippi2824
I’ve been watching QVC since in the 80’s when it started. It’s gotten really boring with their products. Prices have gotten too high for clothing. Used to be known as great prices for quality clothing. The new hosts are too cutesy and annoying. I hardly buy anything from QVC anymore.
