Creator's Key Takeaways

The Italy that we went through had such beautiful mountains. One of the things we try to do is maximize our time on the train.

If you're going to see the coliseum, here's a couple things to keep in mind. We were there in the middle of summer, so it's the high season.

Of all the countries and places I've visited, and so far this is number three, Rome unfortunately had the most trash and graffiti.
