What You Shouldn't Do When You Are in Italy
Visiting Italy is an amazing experience whether you are seeing the Roman ruins throughout the country in places like Rome or Naples, but for all the amazing things you should do in Italy (visit Venice, Florence, Rome, Ravenna, Amalfi Coast, eat until you explode) there are things you DON'T DO when you come to Italy & Here are our 12 things NOT TO DO in Italy when you are traveling Italy.

The Don'ts of Italy
1. Don't expect to get discount prices on fancy Italian luxury brands.
2. Don't eat near tourist sights. You will be ripped off and not get as good of Italian food as you would away from the tourist sights.
3. Don't Tip. They already charge you for service.
4. You Don't have to scream louder to get people to understand you.
5. Don't worry about overdressing, the Italians will always look better than you.
6. Don't just visit Rome and Venice, there is so much more to Italy.
7. Don't share your pizza and make sure you do eat it with your fork and knife.
8. Don't use the fast trains for short distances, they are not worth the significantly higher prices.
9. Don't expect to see spaghetti and meatballs on the menu TOGETHER. They will be there separately, but not together.
10. Don't expect a big breakfast in Italy. Just coffee and a cookie.
11. Don't overpack. You will be limited on space when traveling in Italy so pack accordingly.
12. Don't expect to be served food in a restaurant between 3pm and 7pm.

Cave Apartment Tour in Matera, Italy
Come join us for a cave apartment tour in Matera, Italy as we showcase everything from the vantage points of the city to a full inside tour of the accommodations. How often do you get to stay overnight in a cave? While visiting Matera, Italy we had the opportunity to book an airbnb apartment inside of a historic cave and we jumped at the chance. The place has been thoughtfully decorated with all of the modern conveniences one would desire without losing its rustic charm. For $70 a night we thought it was a great deal because we looked at the property again and noticed it was sometimes going for as high as $90 TO $100 USD.

Cave Apartment Tour in Matera, Italy Travel Video Transcript:
We are super excited for this apartment tour because this week we are living in a cave. What a dream. We are currently visiting Matera in Italy. This is the third oldest inhabited settlement in the whole world after Aleppo and Jericho and we're staying in the Old Town where it is all stone dwellings so when we were looking for Airbnbs I was super adamant we're going to stay in a cave finding one at a really good price because it is low season. This one was only $70 but if you go inside it is like very boutique style high end but also like super rustic and cozy. So we're going to go in and we're going to give you a tour of this place.
But now let's go indoors because it is pretty chilly. It is late November so let's give you the actual tour.
We are in. It is warm and toasty. I was actually kind of worried that it would be super cold in winter in one of these stone dwellings but you know they've got modern conveniences so it is actually been great.
First up if you look up we have these like rounded ceilings. They are almost like arched ceilings which kind of gives it that cozy cave-y type feeling. The floors are really cool. It is like a mix of brick and like these cool tiles and the color scheme is all very neutral. It is nice and beige which I like. We should begin with this space. We're in the living area right now which is a little bit small but you know it works for two people with a nice little couch.
This is super Italian we've got this cool coffee maker. We had some trouble figuring out how it works this morning. Look at the size of it and look at all of the different choices you have right here. Like espresso, espresso lungo, espresso macchiato, cappuccino, mokaccino, latte macchiato.
Let's continue over to the kitchen and again we actually went to the market this morning and got a whole bunch of fresh produce. Vegetables. We got an insane amount of produce for 5 Euros. I know. Like our bags were full. I've never bought mushrooms that look so white. Do you want to see them? Yeah, show them the mushrooms. So fresh. It is like they were look at the size of the peppers as well. We're going to throw them into the pasta tonight.
We have like another little balcony in this room as well and then over here there is the bed.
The shower is amazing. It is one of those rainforest showers. Like tropical showers and they also have a little handheld thing. Again a really cool sink with like splattered blue paint. Bidet. It is quite spacious for a European bathroom.
To wrap it up let's talk about your thoughts on this cool little cave-like apartment. It is just like this is one of the reasons why I like to stay in apartments versus hotels to get an experience like this.
And so far our initial thoughts of Matera is that it is an incredible city to explore on foot. It is the kind of place where you just want to get lost, go down back-alleys. Check out different viewpoints. It is just there is surprises around every corner. Yeah, it is an amazing place to wander around for sure. And in terms of the price to get $70 US dollars is a steal.

10 Things to do in Cardiff, Wales Travel Guide
Join us from Cardiff, Wales as we cover 10 things to do in Cardiff city including popular attractions, cool castes, green escapes, and Welsh food worth trying in this travel guide. Although we were sick for most of our visit to Cardiff, UK we ended up still finding enough time to visit the city center, our neighborhood and a few off-the-beaten path attractions.
What we loved most about Cardiff, Wales is just how friendly the locals here are in the supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and cafe that we frequented. On a rainy day we might put on the kettle, down a few Welsh cakes and pop open our umbrella for a wee stroll. When it was sunny, which fortunately for us was most of the time, we enjoyed exploring castles and arcades while wandering around in parks.
Cardiff is a city you appreciate the more you linger. You start to find favorite cafes, restaurants and pubs you return to frequently and after a while you feel more like a local after recognizing faces in and around your neighborhood. This is what we'll remember most and why we recommend visiting Cardiff which is a city with more of a town vibe.
10 Things to do in Cardiff City Tour | Wales Travel Guide:
Intro - 00:01
1) Cardiff Castle (Castell Caerdydd) medieval castle and Victorian Gothic revival mansion - 00:18
2) Castle Arcades for shopping and restaurants in Cardiff, UK including Barkers Tea Rooms for brunch - 01:45
3) Welsh Cakes from Castle Arcade (Welshcakes) - 03:30
4) River Taff Walk (Afon Taf) - 03:42
5) Pontcanna Farmers Market - 04:20
6) Ruins of the Old Bishop’s Palace, Llandaff - 07:20
7) Cardiff Bay (Bae Caerdydd) for Wales Millennium Centre, Pierhead Building, Mermaid Quay, the Norwegian Church, The Doctor Who Experience, and Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve - 09:09

10 Things to do in Cardiff, Wales Travel Guide Video Script:
Well hello hello from Cardiff, Wales. New destination for us. New destination. It is our very first time to Wales and we're so excited to be here. We've wanted to come to Wales for a really long time and we're going to explore Cardiff and show you guys what you can do here in this travel guide.
We started our visit of Cardiff Castle with a self-guided tour of the Castle Apartments. This is the newest-looking part of the castle as it was renovated in the early 19th century in the Gothic revival style. As part of the tour we got to see the Banqueting Hall, the Library, and a few different rooms, but the place that really caught our attention was the Arab room designed in a Moorish style which is quite different from the rest of the rooms.
We continued on to the Norman Keep, which dates to the 11th century. The 12-sided structure sits atop a hill and is surrounded by a moat, and if you climb to the very top you get some nice 360 degree views of the city.
And lastly, we visited the roman walls, and although these too have been renovated, the foundations date back to 50 AD.
And that’s it for our visit to Cardiff, Wales. Our trip was short and sweet but we hope this video gave you a few ideas of things to do in Cardiff on your own visit. Now you know the drill, if you have any other suggestions of cool things to do in and around Cardiff, feel free to share those with fellow travellers in the comments below. Wishing you happy travels!

35 Things to do in Chicago | Top Attractions Travel Guide
The following travel video is a comprehensive list of the best 35 Things to do in Chicago including all of the top Attractions worth visiting and seeing in this complete travel guide for the Windy City.
Many people don't realize this but Chicago is a world class city with festivals, arts, entertainment, dining and architecture that can rival any city in North America or even Europe. The only other city that I think can compare with Chicago - in terms of attractions - in America is New York. Whether you're scarfing down Chicago style deep dish pizza or taking in a Blues festival you'll find no shortage of things to do in the city. If you're a sport fan there are no shortage of professional teams to follow at any time of the year including the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bears and the Chicago Bulls. When you're thinking of destination to travel to in the United States, Chicago should be near the top of your list. I guarantee that you'll have a lot of fun:
