After one week in Italy, this is what I know.. 1. There are a lot of steps and hills. We walked 6 -7 miles a day. Bring small 20” carry-ons and protect them with plastic covers. 2. The roads are very windy and altitudes are high. Bring Dramamine. 3. If you can afford to rent a driver or bait for the day, do that to avoid hours long lines for public transportation. 4. You need comfortable sneakers. Activewear isn’t as popular for day time in Europe so we wore Reef casual sneakers the most. Rubber sole sandals are fine but ruins are dusty and streets can be dirty so keep that in mind. 5. Download Express VPN so your phone doesn’t switch to a foreign language. This will mark your IP address to USA so it stays in English. 6. I commented everyday on how happy I was to have my FP sling bag. It was comfortable and held my water, phone, passport, wallet, makeup bag, charger, travel toilet paper, portable charger and still had room for more. 7. Wear light clothing. It’s HOT and you’re on the go. Activewear isn’t popular for daytime wear there, nor are Jean shorts. We wore a lot of maxi dresses and rompers. 8. Bring toilet paper! I saved myself three times and a few strangers on occasion. 9. Put air tags in everything… your passport, suitcases, purses. Lost luggage and pick pockets are common. 10. For chargers, I love the three in one with multiple ports and then the specific converter linked here for my American products. **Im also glad I didn’t bring my younger children. I feel like touring is too physically demanding and the appreciation for history is not quite there yet. I saw more moms broken down with strollers and worn out kids more often than not. #traveltips #travelhacks #europeantravel #italyoutfits #traveloutfits
