This summer in Rome has been a weird one; we are never 100% sure what the travel restrictions are, or even just the rules to enter a restaurant. Even now, you have to be vaccinated or you have to have gotten a COVID test within the last couple of days to enter a public facility. That being said, with a little research, it is possible and surprisingly easy to travel around Italy and to most parts of Europe right now.

I already had a summer trip to Greece planned with my friend for the past 4 months, but the week before I was about to leave, another friend reached out to me asking if I wanted to take a weekend trip with her to Sicily. Anyone in their right mind would have said no to this because I would have to fly back to Rome just to pack again and immediately get on another flight to head to Greece. But, with the world as it is these days and everything being unknown, I wasn’t sure when my next chance would be. So, I decided to go.

Sicily is colorful, fresh, and delicious, and very different from any other part of Italy that I have seen. So, it just felt right that I would film the trip to officially launch my YouTube channel where I will be testing out the vlogging world. In this video, you can come along with us to wander the streets of the small Sicilian town of Taormina. We even got lost one night trying to find our way home…
