Carl Explores Italy
A few years ago, I decided to start learning Italian and to visit Italy to practice speaking Italian. In the years since, I've made several trips to Italy and have visited 15 of the country's 20 regions. Follow me as I share tips for traveling through Italy, my progress with learning Italian, as well as a few cooking videos along the way. Ciao!
