ITALY COAST
It turns out I did not truly understand what Italians mean by la dolce vita until I made it to their coast. The people are tanner, the seafood is fresher, the aperol is spriztier- trust me, you gotta go.
Take to the coast via Naples, the birthplace of pizza. Swim and sunbathe with the locals on the island of Ischia. Shop and eat caprese on the island of Capri. Navigate the winding roads by moped to the captivating coastal views in Positano. Trade Aperol for limoncello in Sorrento. Wait, who am I kidding? Just have both. Dolce vita, indeed.
