I know many Americans travel to Paris when thinking about Europe but Italy is just the place to be if you want all the vibes, amazing food, great people and a lot of relaxing. It is also very unique because of the differences between the north and the south.
Agreed! We love Italy and can’t wait to explore more of the country. So many delicious foods and colors and things to explore! Although we still haven’t been to France so it’s hard to compare yet.
Food in Italy is very bad actually. Portugal has the Best food from all over the world. Italy is only Italian food and it's not that good. The pizza is awful in most places in Italy. Best pizza I ever had was in Mérida Yucatan Mexico. My favorite country in Europe would have to be Spain.
She's so loved. Does a world of good observing this. She's a 'special' character and developing an 'own and unique' persona. Be safe at all times! God Bless you all.
By the way . did you know there is a connection between Palermo and Germany : In the middle ages , for a short term , Friedrich der Zweite ,( von Hohenstaufen, "Stupor mundi"), emperor of Germany made Palermo capital of his empire and so capital of Europe, and until now , some people of Palermo still put roses on his tomb in the cathedral .
@@OurStorytoTell believe me! there is a lot of story to tell about sicily and in particular about palermo, it's a place full of history that unfortunately need to be known to the world! Help Us! all the tourist when they hear the name of Italy thinks that italt it's only Florence,Rome,Venice,Naples or Milan...but there is lot and a lot of beautiful unknown places to be discover in Italy! and sicily is the gem!
there is a reason why Italy has been more or less the top holiday destination for decades since the 50's alongside Spain and Austria.... but Italy got it all. Though of course northern and southern Italy are different... but la dolce vita is everywhere... the food, the arts, the architecture... gelato. We Germans enjoy it for holiday and go back to our orderly more sober German daily life, dreaming of the next holiday stay lol...
@@Flavia.amoretto - from my experience the northern Italians are much more reserved. I love the fun and the twinkle in the eye of the southern Italians.
Thank for the wonderful video :) Palermo is my city and you’ve created a beautiful portrait of it ♥️ thank you for showing the world the power of my city :) happy you had a good time ♥️
What a great video, showcasing the vibes and scenery in Palermo, loved it. From my time of travelling with a very energetic toddler, Italy was one of the best places! I could finally sit at a restaurant or cafe and let the little guy roam as everybody sitting around was just so enclined to entertain him and not seeing it as an "invasion of privacy", it was definitely very relaxing both for Mom and Kiddo!
Best Trip... 50 years The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola Palermo, where the story began🤩 No iam joking, Italy is romantic, lifestyle, history, best food and chilled people with a warm heart. They all will have an eye on Willa, they are all sooo in Love with childs
Feb 2023 found this by accident..what a cute family you guys are...as an American living in Sicily I cannot say enough great things about this island..the people the food the history..it just blows you away. Where are you guys now I wonder ?...Ciao
Just discovered your channel! I love this video. Sicily is so incredibly special and the people are amazing and friendly. I love how family oriented they are and just how welcoming and kind they are! So so much to see and do 💕
Hi! 👋 Welcome to our channel! Love seeing you here! We can agree with everything you said from even the short time we spent there. 😊 Do you live there or just have visited?
This is so awesome guys! So cool to see what people are doing after high school! Your little girl is adorable! I’m so jealous you two are in Sicily I’ve always wanted to see Sicily that’s where my ancestors are from!
You need absolutely to visit! it's a gem of the mediterranean sea! super food! Welcoming and kind people great places to see,sun,sea,full of history,arts and mixed cultures a lovely island where your home it's not so far from you because you will just feel like at home
Palm trees are not only along the cost in italy but also in some city center in the north, also lake Como (where a lots of hollywood stars have their villas) there are a lots of Palm.
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Hahaha... if not spicy, I would call lemons sour and not bitter... ;-). By the way, you all three are gorgeous - and especially Willa! :-) How nice, that you enjoyed Sicily / Italy so much!
@@robertomione3121 why isn't perfect for living there? There's tasty, fresh, nutritional food, warm people, great weather, and a calmness, all of which is lacking elsewhere in the world.
@@wcficionado7666 there are 2 main reason: First one in Italy there's no minimum wages, even if you're highly educated (master degree) you will work for 500€ per month working almost 50 hours a week.

I literally couldn’t watch the canoli part lol! I can’t take it tonight! Amd I‘m sorry - but I also have to join the hoards in commenting about how unbelievably heart-stealingly cute Willa is! The delight on her face as she looks around. Omg. I poops and pees, too, Willa ❤️
Grazie per aver visitato la mia città ! Nonostante abbia molti problemi organizzativi sono contento che abbiate passato dei giorni felici quí da noi , grazie!
Ciao, first time I see one of your videos, being Italian I allow myself to answer two things you have said. When she was talking about Confetti, I suppose the video was taken during Carnival time, it is very typical at that time to see the floors of the streets and squares with "coriandoli". 😁 When you explained about kisses between men, you are right, it is not a 100% Italian custom, it is more typical to see it in southern Italy. We in the north of Italy are more of shaking hands, we are colder I would say 😜 New follower.
Princess Willa on the road with her court. 😂😂 She lets herself be coached and fed and accepts the homage of the Sicilian people. 🙏🙏 🤣🤣🤣 She deserves it❗️ After all, she is such a sweet, charming and excellent ambassador for her country. 👍👍 😁😁😁 😇
Hello! Great video, loved how you presented Palermo and I am so excited to also go in the summer. As a college student, I must ask where you bought the chicken and potatoes from, seems like food is good there and also for a very good price. Also, what other places to eat you recommend. Thank you in advance!
@@samuelecammarata8434 So cool you live near Palermo! We can believe it gets crazy hot during the summertime! When do you think the best time to travel to Sicily is?
Hi Claudia! Thanks for your comment! You're going to have a blast & it's definitely possible to get great food for an affordable price! Stay tuned for our video coming out tomorrow, March 30, to see our food recommendations! :) It's a video all about food; especially street food-the most affordable & best kind! ;)
Next cheap flight, Neapel. From there to Isola Capri, Pompeii and a Walk to Vesuv. Really a great experiance. And also there some days Isola Ischia is the best. With naturale thermal spaas all over the island
I'm Sicilian and while watching this video, I was wondering why you chose to visit Palermo. What are the info you had about it before the departure? I like to discover what foreigners think about Sicily! Thank you and enjoy your travels 👋🏻
Welcome to Palermo I am living here as a student and at night it's very energetic, exactly they are like my country Jordan we embrace each other by kissing 💙
@@samuelecammarata8434 I am thinking about visiting palermo because it looks gorgeous and interesting. But when I google about the nightlife I am confused. Some people say the nightlife is very nice and some say there are only a few small bars and not mucj nightlife. What do you say? I mean I would lile to party in the mid of the week too but I can't find clubs or something
@@ThePeachyCat I can say that they go in the wrong place, or in the wrong time 😂 Italian party night start late (about 23:00) and during all night long (05:00), about places there are lots of square that put music all light, located near the central “Maqueda street”… It’s pretty impossible don’t party superhard if you go in the right place at the right time
As much traveling as I’m hearing you guys do it sounds like you could used a reasonable sized van to travel and live in. I’ve heard of people building out some type of vehicle (one family had a huge thing they built and took their-I forget how many-kids with them. They shipped it and traveled all over. Sounds wonderful!
Sicilly is also on my wish list so I'm extra excited. Italy is great to visit as a tourist and the chaos is charming but for living it wouldn't be my first choice. I just got back to Germany from Fort Myers, FL and definitely agree how lovely it is to shorten the darker winter times and get some early summer/spring
@@OurStorytoTell It's a nice get together with my parents who have been traveling there for the past 10-15 years. It doesn't feel like a typical vacation but rather like returning to my second home. Admittedly, it's not too hard to fall in love with that region or other beautiful parts of the US.
@@OurStorytoTell I'm from your new home country Bavaria, but live in Switzerland now, and a big fan of Sicily. You can never go wrong with Palermo, it has so many layers and colorful corners and tastes to explore. Arabs and Normans, mountain fennel and pasta con sarde. If you like train rides you can do a nice day trip right through the heart of the island to Agrigento and the unreal Valle dei Templi.
Oh yeah, southern Italy is a world apart. After all Italy does reflect the north-south gradient also evident on the continental level… And allegedly Sicily is entirely different from Italy again. So yeah…😂 Edit1: Yup, arancini are amazing!
We love seeing the differences; even between the North and South! We traveled to the Dolomites and WOW the difference between there and Sicily is incredible. :)
@@OurStorytoTell The same difference that you find between southern and northern France ..... Do you think Marseille is the same as Brest or Nantes? And South Germany (Munich) is different from Hamburg, or the British from the Scots etc ..... It is normal that there are differences! Have you ever been to Switzerland where four different languages are spoken?
You're going to love your time!! Where are you flying from? Watched the sunset at Foro Italico. Address: Foro Italico Umberto I, 90133 Palermo PA, Italy Beautiful city park was called Villa Giulia. Address: Via Lincoln, 90123 Palermo PA, Italy
near villa giulia, also in via lincoln, there is the botanical garden, a villa where a large quantity of plant species, even extinct for some time but kept alive, are kept.
Mondello Beach at the end of February! 😊 A bit cold so we’d recommend March or April for ideal swimming but still so beautiful and much smaller crowds!
For future travels:visit Lipari/Volcano or even Stromboli! The destination airport will be Catania. You will pass Taormina on your way to these islands. And mount Etna is always in sight!
@@OurStorytoTell Stromboli is much more interesting because you can book a hiking tour up to the crater (about 900 m uphill). There you have a direkt view (50 m above) on the eruption site. Stromboli has an (small) eruption every 10-20 min. You will never be closer to an active vulcano. And there is a Pizzaria Osservatorio just near the sciara del fuoco where the glowing lava rocks will go down to the mediteranian sea.
I don't want to drive a big American car through the narrow streets of Italy. The romans drove there with their donkey carts. I think that German seriousness has a lot to do with German history. Those were formative events. Also until 1990 on the border of East and West. But under a hard shell, Germans are friendly and helpful. Italians on the coast have always been considered laid-back. Quite different those in the harsh remote alpine valleys. But many Italians also live in Germany and offer delicious ice cream or work at VW
It’s true, luckily we didn’t have our car with us or else we would have been squeezing through so many tight spaces. We agree that most Germans take just a bit to warm up, but once they do they are friendly and extremely helpful and thoughtful!
Ja, die Italiener sind sehr kinderfreundlich. Sie sind sehr offen und lassen sich durch Kinderlärm nicht abschrecken. Vorallem im Restaurant ist es sehr angenehm, wenn man nicht das Gefühl haben muss, leise zu sein. In Deutschland hat man sofort das Gefühl, zu stören oder angestarrt zu werden, wenn die Kinder etwas lebendiger sind
Hey guys, nice to see you enjoyed your trip and you dont need to somehow excuse you did this vid some time ago. Yes, your are great humans providing a safety place for those who are in need. Hopefully it goes well for you and for the ukrainian people. Praying that this nightmare will stop soon for all of us. As seen, Willa can speak very well now and I am sure she has a lot to communicate. Be aware of discussions with her coming up. On the other hand she cant excuse anymore that she doesnt understand. Not sure Tanner if I mentioned to you already. I saw a phrase saying: the first daughter is a female copy of her father. Hmmh, is that scaring for you or not ? :-D Well, we have had couple sunny days but coming week will be cold again as forecasted. Anyway, after "den Eisheiligen" especially after "der kalten Sophie", we will have warmer days and nights as well and icecream will taste much much better, doesnt matter which colour, except the pink one from Rothernburg ob der Tauber which is the best as I am told.
Thanks for the comment Reinhold. It’s true, we shouldn’t need to preface why the video is posted much later than when it was taken, but we like to preface why sometimes for people who are new or missed some videos. As for the comment about Willa being the female version of me…. 😂 we see a lot of me in her to be honest so we can believe that. Hopefully she gets most of my better traits 😬. Raising kids right now comes with a lot of responsibility given the current world events. We are starting small but we try to teach her a lot of what’s going on right now and even why the family stayed with us and where their house is. Obviously in small toddler terms, but we want her to remember this hopefully later on in life when she’s grown up. Unfortunately, we are seeing that the nice warm days are taking a break this week. Sad to see, but we’re extremely happy to have had as much sun and warmth as we did.
i think to fall in love for willa , she is too cute and very funny , however i appraciate a lot yours comments on sicily, a kiss from a sicilian . however have good trip , and i hope you come back in future ,bye 😄
Hallo Ihr Lieben..! Ihr seid so zu beneiden um Eure liebe, süße Willa. Sie ist immer so fröhlich und lustig, eine wahre Frohnatur. Und übrigens gibt es wohl kaum ein Kind bzw. Mensch der nicht ganz heiß auf ein gutes, echt italienisches Eis wäre, oder..?
Always amazing how Americans keep stressing that countries like Germany, France, Greece or Italy, all with millennia of culture(s), cuisines and history, are different from the US. Like ... d'uh ;)
the point is not that they are different, the point is to experience HOW they are different. many, if not the majority of americans NEVER leave the US. at all, ever!
Yes that was our point in saying that’s it different… we wanted to explain how & why and share our experience with our US followers. It’s so fun for us to learn more about cultures and hope others enjoy learning too. 😊
Best thing to do in Winter is going way down south , Italy or Spain. Palermo is tough , most italians would say its already Africa . The north is different , "il belpaese" you`ll find from Venice to Rome . ( wasn`t the volcano Etna active at the time ? Taormina is a great Place .)
Yes it was! We were going to make our way over to Etna and Taormina, but didn't have enough time to do it. Next time for sure because we've heard they're incredible!
Robinson Hauser The few italians saying that are quite ignorant and haven't travelled much though. Those are the same people voting the Salvini's infamous far right party, bunch of racists the lot🥴.
I was in January in Catania Sicily.The sun was so bright that had to do a 2 hours siesta in my dark bedroom. It was just to much. Also my skin was staring to get red.The Italians are always nice, but unfortunately often unreliable. So it can be that your host is coming a couple hours late, or doesnt even no you are coming.
This video is full of generalizations, sterotypes, and incorrect portraits of all three countries mentioned. You've seen one place (partially and with a biased POV) and suddenly you feel entitled to make categoric statements about a whole country? Shame on you. You should know better.
Perhaps it is a lack of education or prior knowledge but your observations are so obvious and shallow. Applies to 7/10 American travel vloggers. It prevents you from getting to know the places you see more in-depth.
I'm visiting Palermo in two weeks and this video has made me SO excited ✈🙏🏼🥰💓
I know many Americans travel to Paris when thinking about Europe but Italy is just the place to be if you want all the vibes, amazing food, great people and a lot of relaxing. It is also very unique because of the differences between the north and the south.

What month was this filmed guys? Amazing vlog! ❤
Thank you guys! In February actually!
try Spaghetti aglio e olio ...so simple ...so good
We need to! Thanks for the tip :)
Palermo, my favorite place!
We can see why! Where are you from?
@@OurStorytoTell I'm from your new home country Bavaria, but live in Switzerland now, and a big fan of Sicily. You can never go wrong with Palermo, it has so many layers and colorful corners and tastes to explore. Arabs and Normans, mountain fennel and pasta con sarde. If you like train rides you can do a nice day trip right through the heart of the island to Agrigento and the unreal Valle dei Templi.
Oh yeah, southern Italy is a world apart. After all Italy does reflect the north-south gradient also evident on the continental level…
And allegedly Sicily is entirely different from Italy again.
So yeah…😂
Edit1:
Yup, arancini are amazing!
We love seeing the differences; even between the North and South! We traveled to the Dolomites and WOW the difference between there and Sicily is incredible. :)
@@OurStorytoTell
The same difference that you find between southern and northern France ..... Do you think Marseille is the same as Brest or Nantes? And South Germany (Munich) is different from Hamburg, or the British from the Scots etc ..... It is normal that there are differences! Have you ever been to Switzerland where four different languages are spoken?
Good morning from Palermo...thank you!!...good bye!!
👋 love seeing a local In the comments! How awesome you live there!
What was the garden called? And where did you watch the sunset? Thank you x
You're going to love your time!! Where are you flying from?
Watched the sunset at Foro Italico. Address: Foro Italico Umberto I, 90133 Palermo PA, Italy
Beautiful city park was called Villa Giulia. Address: Via Lincoln, 90123 Palermo PA, Italy
@@OurStorytoTell aw thank you for this 💓 I'm flying from London Gatwick 😌 also new subscriber 🥰
near villa giulia, also in via lincoln, there is the botanical garden, a villa where a large quantity of plant species, even extinct for some time but kept alive, are kept.
awesome... which beach did you visit and what time of year was that??
Mondello Beach at the end of February! 😊 A bit cold so we’d recommend March or April for ideal swimming but still so beautiful and much smaller crowds!
Palm trees, reminds me of home in so cal.
For future travels:visit Lipari/Volcano or even Stromboli! The destination airport will be Catania. You will pass Taormina on your way to these islands. And mount Etna is always in sight!
Thanks for the recommendations! We were bummed we didn’t make it to see Etna this time, but maybe another time.
@@OurStorytoTell Stromboli is much more interesting because you can book a hiking tour up to the crater (about 900 m uphill). There you have a direkt view (50 m above) on the eruption site. Stromboli has an (small) eruption every 10-20 min. You will never be closer to an active vulcano. And there is a Pizzaria Osservatorio just near the sciara del fuoco where the glowing lava rocks will go down to the mediteranian sea.
I don't want to drive a big American car through the narrow streets of Italy. The romans drove there with their donkey carts.
I think that German seriousness has a lot to do with German history. Those were formative events. Also until 1990 on the border of East and West. But under a hard shell, Germans are friendly and helpful.
Italians on the coast have always been considered laid-back.
Quite different those in the harsh remote alpine valleys.
But many Italians also live in Germany and offer delicious ice cream or work at VW
It’s true, luckily we didn’t have our car with us or else we would have been squeezing through so many tight spaces.
We agree that most Germans take just a bit to warm up, but once they do they are friendly and extremely helpful and thoughtful!
Ja, die Italiener sind sehr kinderfreundlich. Sie sind sehr offen und lassen sich durch Kinderlärm nicht abschrecken. Vorallem im Restaurant ist es sehr angenehm, wenn man nicht das Gefühl haben muss, leise zu sein. In Deutschland hat man sofort das Gefühl, zu stören oder angestarrt zu werden, wenn die Kinder etwas lebendiger sind
Fun vlog
Hey thanks!! Fun to see a comment from you guys! Some of our first TH-cam friends! 😊
Hi. Lovely vlog! I enquired on IG whether you'd taken the video down only for it to appear again on YT🙈
Yes sorry about that! Lol third time was a charm I guess 😂
Hey guys, nice to see you enjoyed your trip and you dont need to somehow excuse you did this vid some time ago. Yes, your are great humans providing a safety place for those who are in need. Hopefully it goes well for you and for the ukrainian people. Praying that this nightmare will stop soon for all of us. As seen, Willa can speak very well now and I am sure she has a lot to communicate. Be aware of discussions with her coming up. On the other hand she cant excuse anymore that she doesnt understand. Not sure Tanner if I mentioned to you already. I saw a phrase saying: the first daughter is a female copy of her father. Hmmh, is that scaring for you or not ? :-D Well, we have had couple sunny days but coming week will be cold again as forecasted. Anyway, after "den Eisheiligen" especially after "der kalten Sophie", we will have warmer days and nights as well and icecream will taste much much better, doesnt matter which colour, except the pink one from Rothernburg ob der Tauber which is the best as I am told.
Thanks for the comment Reinhold. It’s true, we shouldn’t need to preface why the video is posted much later than when it was taken, but we like to preface why sometimes for people who are new or missed some videos.
As for the comment about Willa being the female version of me…. 😂 we see a lot of me in her to be honest so we can believe that. Hopefully she gets most of my better traits 😬.
Raising kids right now comes with a lot of responsibility given the current world events. We are starting small but we try to teach her a lot of what’s going on right now and even why the family stayed with us and where their house is. Obviously in small toddler terms, but we want her to remember this hopefully later on in life when she’s grown up.
Unfortunately, we are seeing that the nice warm days are taking a break this week. Sad to see, but we’re extremely happy to have had as much sun and warmth as we did.
Looks like you were staying in Via Materessai?
Yes we did!
i think to fall in love for willa , she is too cute and very funny , however i appraciate a lot yours comments on sicily, a kiss from a sicilian .
however have good trip , and i hope you come back in future ,bye 😄
Hi to you in Sicily! It’s so fun to hear from a local 😊 we agree about Willa! She’s the best ❤️
What's the song and artist in the beginning of your video?
Am planning to purchase a property in Sicily... Is this the right time and decision???
12:53 Yummy! I love Carbonara!
It was divine!!
It helps to look where you are going especially when pushing a baby stroller.
Haha yes it does you’re right! 😂
I wonder what you think about US food (quality etc) compared to Europe
the great italy
We love it!
Hi.did you find any good place for kids ,?I mean to play and enjoy
Please, what the name of the music in The end of the vídeo?
whats that beach name ?
thx

Hallo Ihr Lieben..!
Ihr seid so zu beneiden um Eure liebe, süße Willa. Sie ist immer so fröhlich und lustig,
eine wahre Frohnatur. Und übrigens gibt es wohl kaum ein Kind bzw. Mensch der nicht ganz heiß auf ein gutes, echt italienisches Eis wäre, oder..?
Vielen Dank für dein Kommentar ❤️
Genau! Willa liebt Eis! Auch wenn es nicht authentisch italienisch ist.
4 deutsche Kaiser sind in Palermo bestattet.
I think you would like Israel too. About 3 1/2 hour flight from Munich. Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa are great places to visit !
Oh we know we would!! We’ve never heard of Haifa so we will look into it. Thanks! 😊
Did you meet a guy who did funny grimace to your baby girl and she responded 😂, when you was in Mondello??
You no longer need a covid shot or show a pass to go to italy right
We are going to Italy this weekend actually! 🤗🤗
Willa ❤️❤️❤️
Die Kleine ist so niedlich. Gruß aus Kroatien
Always amazing how Americans keep stressing that countries like Germany, France, Greece or Italy, all with millennia of culture(s), cuisines and history, are different from the US. Like ... d'uh ;)
the point is not that they are different, the point is to experience HOW they are different. many, if not the majority of americans NEVER leave the US. at all, ever!
Yes that was our point in saying that’s it different… we wanted to explain how & why and share our experience with our US followers. It’s so fun for us to learn more about cultures and hope others enjoy learning too. 😊
1 Cannolo ..many Cannoli...no need for adding "s" at the end, the term "Cannoli" is already plural
Thanks for the tip! :)
You are not telling where all these places are !?!?!?!
Read the description and it says where we went :)
Fernweh!
It´s not a full on mancrush, but Boy, does Tanner look way better with the short haircut. Get a leash on this man, Risa.
😂 thanks DocRaunchy
They really need to clean that place up.
Best thing to do in Winter is going way down south , Italy or Spain. Palermo is tough , most italians would say its already Africa . The north is different , "il belpaese" you`ll find from Venice to Rome . ( wasn`t the volcano Etna active at the time ? Taormina is a great Place .)
Yes it was! We were going to make our way over to Etna and Taormina, but didn't have enough time to do it. Next time for sure because we've heard they're incredible!
Robinson Hauser The few italians saying that are quite ignorant and haven't travelled much though. Those are the same people voting the Salvini's infamous far right party, bunch of racists the lot🥴.
Nord Italy is very different
I was in January in Catania Sicily.The sun was so bright that had to do a 2 hours siesta in my dark bedroom. It was just to much. Also my skin was staring to get red.The Italians are always nice, but unfortunately often unreliable. So it can be that your host is coming a couple hours late, or doesnt even no you are coming.
Palermo and Catania are very different
Men to men, it's exciting... oh yeah
Are both of you ethnic italians?
Neither of us actually :). Both have roots from Europe, but not Italy.
Sicily is Sicily, stop!
Sicily not Italy, please🤗
Complimenti ........Vietato Fermarsi ... th-cam.com/video/l-hpepU80aI/w-d-xo.html .. Sardegna
This video is full of generalizations, sterotypes, and incorrect portraits of all three countries mentioned. You've seen one place (partially and with a biased POV) and suddenly you feel entitled to make categoric statements about a whole country? Shame on you. You should know better.
Perhaps it is a lack of education or prior knowledge but your observations are so obvious and shallow. Applies to 7/10 American travel vloggers. It prevents you from getting to know the places you see more in-depth.
