20 Things to do in Rome, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (ROMA)
Rome, the Eternal City. After several trips to Italy, we finally managed to visit our biggest oversight: the capital! From wandering through Roman ruins to devouring pizza, and climbing up lookout points to feasting on gelato, in this travel guide, we’re going to share with you 20 things to do in Rome, Italy:
We reached Roscioli which was the best pizza in Rome. Pizzas are served by the weight and we sampled 7 different pizza slices.
We stopped at Largo di Torre Argentina an archaeological site home to four different temples containing parts of the portico of Pompey.
It was a short walk to the Pantheon, a former Roman temple turned church, which dates back to the year 125 AD. The Pantheon boasted the world’s largest cupola up until the 15th century, and it is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in existence to this day making it one of the greatest architectural achievements by the ancient Romans.
If you want to find the best gelato, look for colours that are muted with small batches.
One of the many things to do in Rome, was to visit the Trevi Fountain. This is the largest Baroque fountain in the city.
Rome’s most famed attraction is the Colosseum and its surrounding ruins. We started our visit on Palatine Hill, the most central of Rome's seven hills. What visitors see today are the ruins of the Palace of Domitian, a 1st-century complex, which served as the main imperial palace for 300 years. We continued to the Roman Forum. This square was the centre of ancient Roman life, with government buildings, temples, and markets. We reached the Colosseum, which was the largest amphitheatre ever built and could hold an estimated 50,000 and 80,000 spectators.
Walking through the Vatican Museum was more overwhelming than enjoyable. We visited Vatican City to climb St. Peter’s Basilica for views of Rome.
Castel Sant’Angelo was commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family.
Villa Borghese is the 3rd largest public park in Rome with gardens, villas, and ponds with views of the city overlooking Piazza del PO-polo, the people’s square.
That concludes our tour of Rome showcasing the many things to do in Rome on your own trip.

Backyard Staycation
In this video, we transform my parents' backyard into a beautiful staycation paradise by building a wooden deck and pergola!
This home renovation project came together after we received an email from Jeff & Michelle from Home RenoVision DIY, who had watched some of our videos and spotted our concrete slab of a deck in the background.
Since the Home RenoVision DIY channel is all about teaching people how to tackle home renovation projects, they offered to come over to my parents' house and build a deck and pergola! They just needed some willing learners and some extra hands. Of course, we took them up on their offer!
In total, we spent 6 days with the Home RenoVision DIY team - but only 3.5 of those actual work days. We may have distracted them with food and wine!
For the technical video that shows you how to build a wooden deck step-by-step, you can watch Jeff and Max's video here:
And for the behind-the-scenes adventures in home renovations, shopping trips to Home Depot, and tasty home cooked meals, you can watch this video.
We had a great time with the Home RenoVision DIY crew of Jeff, Max and Michelle and they quickly became friends. A huge THANK YOU to them once again for reaching out with this idea and transforming my parents' home!

Michelin Restaurant in Venice, Italy | Trying Pumpkin Dishes! Travel Video Transcript:
It is another very snowy day here in Venice. Today we're going to go for lunch. This place is the only like two minute walk from our house. It specializes in pumpkin & is called Osteria La Zucca. Zucca means pumpkin and most of the dishes are made with pumpkin. It is vegetarian friendly.
We are all settled in the restaurant and we've ordered three different pumpkin dishes to share between Sam and I. So the first one we got is the Saor Di Zucca Radicchio Rosso so that is this one right here that I'm going to be trying. I think it is the vegetarian equivalent of what I had at the other restaurant with the sardines because it has the same name. I can see that it has caramelized onions and the pine nuts but instead of the fish it is pumpkin. It looks kind of like a pumpkin paste.
Appetizer number two. We got the fran de zucca con burro al la salsa ricotta stagionata.
This has pumpkin and butter and some ricotta. When we were first reading this flan to me is a dessert. At least in Spanish it is but apparently this is savory and it has nutmeg they said. Yep. And also a few different spices. It looks really good. It is also dressed with cheese and these it looks like sunflower seeds. And guess who is having that as well? George. You've been trying it. So how is it?
It is delicious. It is so creamy and great pumpkin flavor.
This is really good though. Out of the two this one is my favorite so far.
That is delicious. But it is not sweet though is it? No. It has got a savory creamy texture and I love how there is the has been some cheese sprinkled on top. Also some pumpkin seeds. It is just really really good.
It is also a bit thicker than what I thought when I first looked at it. It has pumpkin seeds.
This one is the Tortino de Pate Zucca Caciotta Di Rocca Pontina.
So never heard of tortino before it kind of looks like a potato. It reminds me of the Spanish tortilla. It is kind of like that with pumpkin.
So let's just dig in. Dig right in and see what this is all about. Nice consistency.
This looks good get a little bit of that pesto right there.
it is dessert time. So we've ordered a piece of chocolate cake. Woah. It looks beautiful. It is nice and thick. Nice big slab of it. I like that there is a little dusting of icing sugar on top and also we have some chocolate sprinkled. And it is beautifully plated too as you'll notice you see berries and you'll see some cream. It looks very festive like Christmas. It does look very festive. This would be a great Holiday Christmas cake for instance. Oh and you can tell that there is nuts in here.
That is really tasty.
Actually this reminds me a lot of a warm brownie. That is how I would describe it with a lot of nuts and chocolate.
In terms of price point it came to 41 Euros. That included the 3 pumpkin dishes, the dessert and we also ended up paying for the water for everyone. The wine that I drank my Dad bought for me and that was 5 Euros and we split it. So basically an extra 2.50 if you wanted to do the math. Yeah. And right now we're just outside of the restaurant. Look it is right on the canal. Yeah. Tada. So in terms of the food yeah the quality was really good.

Asado Argentino Loco en Invierno en Canadá -30°C!
Este verano pasado se nos ocurrió una idea - ¿qué tal si hacemos un asado argentino en el invierno? Bueno, tuvimos que esperar unos cuantos meses porque la nieve no llegó de inmediato, pero a fines de Enero, finalmente pudimos hacer este asado argentino loco.
Fue un día helado - con los vientos se sentía como -30°C - pero mi papá logró prender el fuego para preparar este asado de invierno tan esperado. La parte más difícil fue generar suficiente caloría como para cocinar la carne, pero como ya nos esperabamos eso, decidimos comprar cortes de carne no muy gruesos. En este video van a ver que asamos un T-bone Steak, Rib Eye, Sirloin y chuletas de cordero. Mientras la carne se cocinaba, también nos pusimos a degustar unos vinos en la cocina.
Esperamos que disfruten este asado argentino, y cuéntennos si alguna vez han intentado hacer un asado en el invierno y como les fue. Compartan sus consejos para nuestro próximo asado!

Haciendo Empanadas + Picada Argentina + Fernet con Coca! | Platos Típicos Argentinos
¡Bienvenidos a otro video! Hoy vamos a preparar 4 variedades de empanadas. Si llevan un poco de tiempo siguiendo este canal, ustedes ya saben que mi padre y yo solemos filmar videos preparando asados argentinos, pero como ha estado lloviendo acá en Canadá y el tiempo no estaba muy lindo, decidimos preparar unos platos típicos argentinos. Hoy vamos a probar una picada argentina, 4 tipos de empanadas, y el famoso fernet con coca.
Las 4 empanadas que preparamos fueron:
1) Empanadas de pollo
2) Empanadas de carne al cuchillo
3) Empanadas de mariscos
4) Empanadas de guayaba y queso
Estas empanadas son inspiradas por una mezcla de recetas argentinas, peruanas, y chilenas. Hicimos las empanadas al horno y salieron bien ricas.
Pero antes de empezar a hacer las empanadas, preparamos una linda picada con 4 tipos de salames (salame gitano, salame con vino italiano, salame con pimienta, y salama calabrese), 3 tipos de quesos (queso brie, queso cheddar y queso marinado en vino merlot), aceitunas (verdes con almendras y negras), pan casero con tocino, y alcachofas.
También finalmente conseguimos fernet (algo que llevamos bastante tiempo buscando), así que en este video probamos un poco de fernet con coca como se lo toma en Córdoba. Y aparte de eso, tambien degustamos un vino argentino y un vino chileno.
Por supuesto, mi padre también comparte historias de su vida y su niñez en Argentina, así que esperamos que lo disfruten.

Italian Cuisine - Eating a 4 course meal in Matera, Italy Travel Video Transcript:
It is lunchtime here in Matera and it is another cold rainy day. I'm using my scarf as a blanket while we eat lunch. But anyways yeah we found this really cool restaurant. It is called Nadi. It is in a cave like most buildings seem to be here in Matera and today we have decided to do a 4 course meal. However, our stomachs aren't really trained for the Italian way of eating so we're going to share one four course meal. Between the two of us. No. We already ordered some red wine. Which one did we get?
It is called Primitivo. Nice red wine. We have a little bit of bread and these cute little like round pretzel things. Pretty good. They have fennel. Um, fizzy water and we're waiting for the first course to arrive which would be antipasti. It is local salami and cheeses.
Guys so this is the antipasto lugano. This is our first dish. And my goodness we've already been eating some of the meat because it looked amazing. We couldn't contain ourselves. We couldn't resist.
The waiter did tell us that names for everything but I mean I don't know the language so I can remember maybe like three. I know this one was the ricotta. This is the salumi. And this one I think he said pancetta. The other four I don't know but they look wonderful. I'm going to dig in. It is a combination of it looks like soft and hard cheeses.
That is very light. And like it has a lot of water content. It almost reminds me of the Bocconcini?
Alright so I have passed the plate over. Sam you're going to show us the meats. I'm going to show you the meats. What's going on. I think this is the salumi. Are you seriously using a fork and knife to eat your salumi Sam?
we're moving on to our second dish. Which really is the primi piatti. Or second like that. Which means first dish. It is typically a pasta. Right. But we decided we didn't want just one pasta. We wanted to have a sampler plate. We got three different kinds. We got three different things going on.
So this pasta here it has red peppers and bread crumbs and this other one we've had before it comes with mushrooms and the pork sausage. That's delicious.
this next one is called secondi piatti. And typically it would be a meat dish but we were in the mood to go vegetarian. Actually this just sounded good. It is basically a baked eggplant. If you could see the cheese. The layers of cheese under there. It has got cheese. It has got tomato sauce.
The final stretch. The fourth course (dolce). Dessert. We ordered a slice of ricotta cheesecake to share.
We just got the bill and this is awesome because they brought us each I should say a limoncello shot. In terms of price point that came to 43 Euros.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.
