Hi! I’m based in Brescia and although I’ve been here for about 10 months I haven’t needed anything until recently as I have a two week trip coming up. I’m very new to shopping in Europe and maybe this isn’t the right subreddit I’m not sure.

I’m happy to take the train to Bergamo, Milan, Florence etc for a good shopping day, rather than online-only brands.

Basically I’m looking for** **well-designed, slightly interesting contemporary fashion, timeless staples, anything good quality and I do love some bohemian. I’m open to both Italian and international brands.

I’d especially love recommendations for brands I might not know about, boutiques, Multi-brand stores, Vintage/second-hand shops or any particular streets/neighbourhoods worth wandering around.

Note: I’m from Nz so I know absolutely nothing about European brands !

My boyfriend and I are looking to spend 5–6 days on an island in September. We are close to finishing up a very busy summer season in Italy and really want somewhere we can properly slow down and relax.

Neither of us drinks, so nightlife isn’t important to us at all. Most of our trips are centred around the outdoors hiking, climbing, surfing, diving, etc. but for this trip we’re really looking for somewhere genuinely peaceful and laid-back, where we can hire some scooters, a couple kayaks a gym is also a bonus for us !

I’m from New Zealand, so travelling to European islands is still quite new to me and haven’t been to one aside from Sardinia, there are so many options it’s difficult to choose.

Where would you recommend for a relaxed 5–6 day trip in September? Ideally somewhere with good nature and beaches, but not overly developed or party-focused.

Appreciate any advice !

Hey there, I’ve been thinking about this for a few months and do appreciate some reddit community feedback.

My partner and I travel full time and have been the past couple of years, we always do seasonal jobs and do about 50% of the year work, 50% travelling, aside this we train everyday whether it be inside a gym, hiking mountains, surfing, diving, climbing, snowboarding we kinda do everything and have traveled to some crazy places.

We both havent had social media in quite a few years and are genuinely happy without it. But I know how reels work because every now and then I watch YouTube shorts and it’s mostly related to gym + travel.

Almost everybody we meet are suprised we don’t post any content and it’s something I’ve never thought about doing really until recently.

I have the time for a side hustle, have ideas for videos and my partner is now studying online to be a PT so I feel like there is potential. I wouldn’t want to post about our travels but more about how we exercise, budget, how we eat etc

I’m not sure if it’s peoples thoughts convincing us to live a life style we are very happy without or it could be a great opportunity in the next few years to build an extra income and potentially for my partner to grow a client base.

Would be interested in some thoughts and opinions as most people on here are on social media and knows what it’s all about.
