Ciao,

Just got back from a trip across central and southern Italy and I must conclude Naples is easily my favorite Italian city.

Food: Obviously Italian food is great but Naples brings it to another level that other cities I believe can't replicate. You can literally order a margarita pizza and because the tomatoes have so much flavor it'll literally be the best pizza of your life...

People: very different to northern Italians. Northern Italians I find very polite but distant just like my fellow British people. Southern Italians way way more open and friendly. Very loud. But very friendly.

Crime: yes Naples feels dangerous in some spots but I didn't have a bad experience. Just have to be slightly switched on. But way safer than other cities I've been like Bogota, Lima ect.

I filmed it for YouTube if anyone is interesting. I hope I got most of it right haha! If anyone is interested here you go..

Grazie Mille!

​Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience visiting Uzbekistan for the first time as a British guy. I honestly didn't know exactly what to expect before landing, but I came solo because I've always been completely fascinated by the history of the Silk Road and wanted to see what daily life is actually like there.

Samarkand is just mind blowing. So beautiful. But what really stood out was just how incredibly welcoming and kind the people are. I lost count of how many times locals went out of their way to help me or just strike up a friendly conversation.

​The biggest culture shock for me, though? The food. Wow. Back home in the UK, Central Asian cuisine is barely on the radar, which is a massive shame. I think I ate my weight in plov.

​I actually filmed my entire journey because I wanted to show people back home how incredible the country is. If anyone is interested in seeing what a Brit's first impressions look like, you can check it out here:

Thanks for the hospitality Uzbekistan! 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇿

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my first time to Kazakhstan as a British person. I had no idea what to expect but went alone to film for my YouTube channel but also because I am fascinated by what life would be like there.

Almaty I fell in love with. Very friendly kind people. Beautiful nature, a very surprisingly green City. Very clean too!

Biggest culture shock was how good the food was. In my country we don't know anything about Kazakhstan food but I tried many dishes and drinks at Navat and the green bazaar and really enjoyed it. Especially this salty yoghurt drink.

Astana was very different it didn't feel as welcoming as Almaty. Seems like a place you go to work rather than live if that makes sense but still a very surreal city.

I did film it all for my channel if anyone is interested. Sorry to plug the channel in advance. You can watch here:

Thank you Kazakhstan for the hospitality! 🇰🇿🤝🇬🇧
