This was my first trip out of the country once I got my green card. My wife and I wandered the streets safely, ate more carbs than we should have while losing weight (???), looked at art and buildings that were around when Rome was still running gladiator battles, and met strangers for drinks at a bar and stayed there for 6 hours talking about life. Truly my fave trip. We did Florence and Rome and…errrr…I forget the name but it’s the place with all the islands. 10/10 trip. Reach out if you need any recs.

I went on a family vacation for my nanas 80th this summer in Italy. Florence was my favorite city we saw. Traveling with extended family proved to be overwhelming so I broke off from the group and found this library / movie theatre, and decompressed by watching some of moulin rouge.
I think about it often.
ps i don’t wanna be thought of as a dweeb for replying to my own ask

I can’t express enough how beautiful this country was and how much I highly recommend doing the thing you’ve always wanted to. I stayed for just over a month, because if staying in an apartment there for a month was less than a big city in the United States, why not? I went everywhere from La Spezia, Cinque Terre (Corniglia pictured), Florence, Rome, Pisa, Lucca, Milan, etc. Take the trip, life is too short!!

i loveeee going to the receptionist of an office building, to the bartender at a restaurant, the clerk at a clothing store, the assistant at the dentist, to ask them for a bandaid. i know they have them, and i want one. they always ask me what's wrong. sometimes they even ask me if i need help putting it on and i always say yes.

there's something so intimate about being on public transport together: thighs touching on the narrow seats, quiet words drowned out by the noise of the vehicle, sharing earbuds.
