0:43

other countries that i've been to

0:46

let me start with italy i spent two

0:49

weeks in italy in 2019

0:53

this was probably my favorite trip i had

0:56

the opportunity to go to many cities and

1:00

towns in this country i started my trip

1:03

in bologna which was a great experience

1:07

i had some really delicious food in this

1:10

city and it was my first time eating at

1:14

a real italian restaurant i'll never

1:17

forget it i had a few different local

1:20

dishes which were incredible also i ate

1:24

the best ice cream ever when i was in

1:27

this city

1:28

next i went to florence which was one of

1:31

the most beautiful cities i've ever seen

1:35

i'm sure that some of you agree with me

1:38

then we rented a car and drove through

1:41

tuscany this was an awesome road trip we

1:45

drove through beautiful hills fields and

1:48

vineyards

1:49

this was my favorite region of italy

1:52

it's so unique there there's no other

1:55

place like it lastly we went to rome and

1:59

enjoyed the amazing history there of

2:02

course we loved going to the coliseum

2:05

and seeing the ancient buildings there

2:08

okay now let me talk a little bit about

2:12

peru i went to peru with a friend in

2:15

2018 to see machu picchu

2:19

everyone wants to see machu picchu right

2:22

so we stayed in the city of cusco and

2:25

took some different tours of the area we

2:29

saw some interesting ruins around cusco

2:32

and we really enjoyed the beautiful

2:35

nature there and the city of cusco is

2:39

also a cool place to explore

2:42

but of course the best part of the trip

2:44

was seeing machu picchu this ancient

2:48

city is hidden in the mountains and it's

2:51

not easy to get there

2:53

we had to take two buses and a train to

2:57

arrive there but it was worth it the

3:00

view of machu picchu from above was

3:03

incredible we sat for a long time just

3:07

looking at the city i couldn't believe

3:10

that i was there we didn't take a tour

3:13

but there were many tours when we were

3:16

there so we heard some tour guides

3:19

talking about the history of machu

3:21

picchu then we walked around the city

3:25

and explored the different parts this

3:28

experience was completely unique and

3:31

i'll never forget it okay lastly i'm

3:34

just gonna say a few things about the uk

3:38

specifically london i only stayed in

3:41

london for one day before i flew to

3:44

italy so i saw very little but i walked

3:48

a lot during that short time and i loved

3:52

the city the weather was nice when i was

3:55

there so i watched the sunset from the

3:58

river i also went to my first christmas

4:02

market there

4:03

so even though i was only there for one

4:07

day i really liked it i was sad that i

4:10
