In this episode, Tommaso and Kimberly state that they are back in the US preparing for the sale of their house yet will return to bel’Italia mid-June. They also share some travel tips for your next trip to Italy.


Key Points:


The prep involved to move from America to Italy:

  • Kimberly explains why they potentially sound tired on this episode recording due to all they have done in the two weeks they have been in the US.
  • She also compliments Tommaso on the consistent sound quality of their recent episodes considering they have recorded them without the normal equipment they had in their podcast studio in Rhode Island.

  • Entry Exit System Update:

    • Kimberly and Tommaso share the last-minute notice they got from their airline for their departure from Venice to the USA.
    • This included leaving one day earlier than expected, booking a hotel in Venice and changing their train tickets.
    • This let to their suggestion to always purchase train tickets than can be modified, cancelled or upgraded.

    • More Travel Tips:

      • Regarding any kind of medical emergency in Italy, big or small, they recommend purchasing travel insurance.
      • However, if you do not have insurance coverage, they list various options of how to get treatment and important phone numbers to keep with you throughout your trip.
      • Kimberly and Tommaso also stress the importance of how to not fall prey to pick pocketers. Pickpocketing is a profession in some countries, but you can follow the right steps to prevent it from happening to you.
      • Tommaso also explains the more recent tactic of credit card skimmers and RFID scanners. He shares what you can do to prevent your banking information from being stolen.

      • Episode 214 update:

        • Kimberly and Tommaso admit that they will not be able to record the future episode #214 due to the timing and logistics of their move from America. So that one will be later than scheduled, but they WILL produce the next episode which will be #213.
