    from an italian girl, i love how you depicted this trip, the video is very calming (and aesthetic!) but also useful for whoever wants to go there, like it's pretty realistic, also with the sudden weather change and all. Of course the scenery it's beautiful, i already went there, but you managed to make it even more magical and soothing. Thank you for the wonderful amalfi coast representation! I love your vibe and your channel! Keep it up!

    definitely travel around when you are in italy! especially if you are there for 10 days. with 10 days you can definitely fit in 3 cities if you want to have a chill trip but you can also fit all of that if you want a more fast paced one. i’d recommend choosing amalfi, rome, and florence because there’s a lot to do in all of them.

    definitely try and pack light if you can especially if you might have a lot of stairs to climb! we took a carry on each and were struggling on that you can kind of check ahead and see how far you are from the beach to determine how much you might have to climb. the further back your place, the more stairs typically. explore the different cities! there is a bus app you might need if you are taking public transport called unico campaigna or something that you can buy tickets ahead of time.

    I think you were there at the wrong time of year to experience Sorrento fully. None of the beaches were open from what I could see. You could have gone down to the port and got a boat trip and there are lots of beautiful restaurants. I don't really see any of these towns as having a different demographic. They are all beautiful and full of culture. You do need money though. They are really for weathier travellers.
