After 2 months, 8 cities, and 3 bottles of wine… the Sicily episode is finally here—take two. And this time, the mic was actually turned on. 😅

In this unfiltered, brutally honest recap, we’re spilling all the tea (and some wine) on our scouting trip through Sicily: from getting robbed in Syracuse to being underwhelmed by seafood pasta in Palermo. We’re sharing the good, the bad, and the oh-so-trashy (literally).

Whether you’re dreaming of Italy, planning a scouting trip of your own, or just want to laugh at our chaos, this episode is part travel story, part coaching, part love letter to what we thought Sicily would be.

🚨 Spoiler: We decided not to move to Italy—but we tell you exactly why and what we did love along the way.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why we originally had our hopes set on Italy (and how ChatGPT helped us narrow in on Sicily)
• What it’s really like to scout Catania, Taormina, Syracuse, and Palermo with a toddler
• The truth about garbage, mafia vibes, and why living in Sicily isn’t as idyllic as Instagram suggests
• How it compares to other destinations like Crete and Thessaloniki
• Pickpocketing, car seat chaos, food tour highlights, and the most beautiful beach in Europe (Mondello, we see you 👀)
• Our honest take on Sicilian food, coffee, and the infamous Korean hate-crime meal
• What it actually feels like to live somewhere vs just travel there—and why trusting your intuition matters
