As someone who’s traveled a LOT, the most common question I get asked about my travels is ‘what’s your favorite country?‘ And when I’m asked this, my mind instantly goes to Italy. Yep, I have to admit Italy is my favorite destination out of all the 50+ countries I’ve been to.
We’ve been on countless vacations to Italy (we even got married in the Cinque Terre), as well as ticked off epic cities like Rome, Florence, Verona, Milan, Turin, and Venice. As well as checked out lesser-known destinations like Rimini and Bologna. And not forgetting that we’ve also been to popular tourist spots like Lake Como and Lake Garda a few times.
