Travelling alone is probably my favorite way to travel because, well, you're never really alone. You latch on to or acquire fellow travellers as you see fit but most importantly you make lifelong friendships from unplanned moments.. like long bus rides, or simply sitting in the right hostel at the right time :) . Follow my journey from America's first city to some of Colombias best hidden treasures!

June 01, 2020 Colombian World Cup Fever

Traveling through a country or region should always spark the search "what cultural events are happening there while I'm around?" on your browser. .
Think of someone visiting the USA or Canada in early July just to spend our national holidays camping or on a day-long bus ride.
.
Luckily, I didn't need to worry about missing this one as it's a worldwide cultural phenomena (season?) that I wouldn't have missed even if I had been in North Korea.

May 15, 2020 From Toe to Heel: Road Tripping Italy PT. 1
Full video:
https://youtu.be/kGYDavRj88Y

Enjoying the small things is essential to living a happy life, this episode is evidence of that.
.
Sadly in the narration of stories I often omit certain details like buying kilograms of olives, focaccia and olive oil to bring along for the ride. Know that those moments are what are truly appreciated and that I'm grateful for in the moments that I record and share these stories with you. <3
.
From saving a baby bird in Lecce to sleeping in the car by the beach, we managed to pack so much into so little time that I refell in love with Italy twelve times over.
.
Thanks again (y'all) for your continued support, kind words and most of all, for being yourself :)

May 11, 2020 Visiting my Father's Birthplace (Italy)
FULL VIDEO:
https://youtu.be/c3_7K6GPW9k

Italy is constantly facing an exodus of their small towns, by the beach or not, due to the appeal of work, money and luxuries that cities can provide.
.
Where we come from has a huge impact on where we go. Seeing the roots of my father's family, a fully self sufficient farm that needs endless labour yet provides all the necessities of life was so impactful.
.
It showed me how my brother @marcangelocoppola is taking the old generation's lifestyle and is revamping it to the 21st century (see @valhallamovement) as well as demonstrating that some things needn't have changed with the turn of the century.
.
That lifestyle is still out there, readily available and more than ever in Italy, being supported by various levels of government - which now offer bursaries (funding) for people willing to move back to the small towns. (wink wink, eco-village enthusiasts)

May 08, 2020 Coasts, Prosciutto & Olives in Calabria FT. Vince
Vince joins me in the studio to tell the first half of his experience in southern Italy.
.
Despite moving at a fast pace both in the trip and in our storytelling, the small things (mainly olives) tend to be what makes a story memorable.
.
I believe that Vince and I emphasize on the quality of our experience so much because southern Italy has the (best food in the world) charm of being so incredibly (cheap and virtually tourist-free) welcoming to foreigners who perceive Italy as a country of spaghetti and tourist attractions (see: Rome, Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Venice)
.
Visit southern Italy :)

May 05, 2020 Italy - Adapting to my new city with jugs of wine
Full Video:
https://youtu.be/TnlZMOu7fLw

The hardest thing about being away for years at a time is not being able to see, bring or interact with your hometown friends. . Here's a story of my first weekend in Calabria, facing my uncertainty of developing meaningful friendships in a place where I barely spoke the language. . Not all my TOAST posts will be about great times and jolly experiences, some of that knitty gritty stuff we call character development happens in the cracks below.

April 30, 2020 India: Making Eye Contact with a Pooping Man

https://youtu.be/Fnk4lyF2oV0

I'm not trying to feed any stereotypes of any country in my videos, positive or negative... but when I'm put face to face with a man unleashing his bowels by the Taj Mahal.. I can't not report it. . I'm going to leave this episode here as the end of India week, keeping all my favorite bits (Jaipur & Delhi solo) for the next time it resurfaces. . For now I'm kicking off my shoes and jumping into a two week special for ITALY :D

April 27, 2020 Demonetization and Chaos in India
Full Video:
https://youtu.be/ew57rQqkccs

What happens when the most populous country forcefully devalues its currency? .
ATM lines surge to hours-long waits, the population is forced to create alternative forms of payment, people are in panic and cannot hoard their cash.. but what about the backpackers? .
Being in the privilege of knowing people in all corners of the world, it didn't affect me as much and I'm grateful to have been but a spectator in one of the biggest moments for the country.

Moustache gracias for stopping by.
.
Basque country is this amazing culturally diverse region of Spain and France that is shrouded in mistery.
Why are their buildings so cool - and so different?
Where did their (unrelated to any other) language come from?
Why does this language have super long (and simple) words like GAZTELUGATXE?
.
Watch my episode so I can definitely not answer any of those questions.

April 21, 2020 Near Death Experience in Sevilla Ft. Vince
Vince joins me in the studio to tell one of our legendary level tales, the day we could have died... for 5 euros. . Co-telling stories that were co-lived is among the best things we could do - only taking the back seat to actually travelling and making lifelong memories ;)
