Only A Bag - An Italian Travel Podcast

Welcome back!

Welcome back to another episode of our housesitting series!

Welcome back!

Hello all, and welcome to our "Kitchen Sink" episode for Rome.

There were so many little things we wanted to mention in the last few podcasts that either didn't fit, or we weren't factually sure on. So we added them into one large podcast. A "just in case" type of thing.

Some of it is also updates to prices or practices as we've experienced them

Welcome back to another episode of the Rome series! 

In this episode we discuss how to navigate the used clothing markets of Italy, and the ones we like to frequent.

We hope you enjoy! 

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

Towards the end we mentioned a group of vintage stores in the Monti neighborhood which are:

Pifebo Vintage Shop

Flamingo Vintage Shop Roma

Humana Vintage Roma

King Size Vintage

Pulp Vintage

Blue Goose

Abito

Welcome back after our impromptu 6 month break! 

To get things started, we figured we should round out the last of the food episodes talking about the thing we love best: gelato. Not only do we discuss the parts of a gelato cone, we discuss things to look for when hunting for the best gelateria in any city. 

At the end, we mentioned our list of our all-time favorite gelaterie in Rome, and here it is! Some of these gelateria have multiple locations, we list the ones we visited. 

Neve di Latte -

Via Luigi Poletti, 6, 00196 Roma RM

Otaleg! -

Via di S. Cosimato, 14a, 00153 Roma RM

Fatamorgana - 

Via Roma Libera, 11, 00153 Roma RM

Thank you all so much for listening! 

Everyone tells us where to eat in Rome. Where to find the best cacio e pepe or pizza. Even Google Maps gives advice.

So we wanted to tell you all how to eat at restaurants and what to expect when you do.

As always, I hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to our episode on food! We try to lay the groundwork for any trip you might take to Rome by discussing street food, food markets, groceries, the customs around food, and what to do if you have allergies.

Darcy was coming off a bit of a cold, so I did a heavy portion of the talking, sorry about that!

We hope you all enjoy!

Hello everyone!

We are so sorry for our long absence. We moved houses again, lost internet, and real life got in the way. We are now back! 

In this episode we talk about getting to Rome by flying there, getting from the airport to the city, and getting around Rome once you're there. 

I also mentioned a website for cheap student flights which is called www.studentuniverse.com.

Some of my talking might be quick in this episode, and I do apologize! I realize I talk quickly when I'm excited about something, and I'm working on talking slower so everyone can understand. 

I hope you enjoy! 

This podcast is going to be broken up into multiple posts/articles given the length. But, the first one is out! 

How to get to Rome centro (center of Rome/Termini, Rome's central train station) from FCO. 

For the next few episodes Darcy and I will be talking about Rome, since that's where we are currently! 

Instead of talking about the normal sights and "to-do" lists, we thought we'd talk about some of the quieter sides of life. Like gelato, used clothing markets, and finding good food!

I hope you enjoy! 

In this episode I invited my travel partner, Darcy, to talk with me about traveling together. We discuss the pros and cons, costs, and how it's important to sometimes take some time apart.

I hop you enjoy!

Possibly the greatest debate while traveling is whether or not to go alone. For some, it's an eye-opening experience, a chance to connect with themselves and learn about the person they really are without distractions. For others, it's a deeply lonely experience that reinforces how far out of their comfort zone they are.

In this episode, I discuss having a new normal, changing your perspective, and learning how to travel alone.

I hope you enjoy! 

In this episode I cover things you will need before you hit the road. This isn't about packing or any gadgets, but the bare basics such as a passport, visa, vaccines, travel insurance, and more.

I hope you enjoy! 

Welcome to Only a Bag, a travel podcast!

Since this podcast will weave certain topics in and out of every episode, I thought it would make sense to give a brief overview of those topics: One bag, ethical traveling, long-term traveling, and housesitting.

I will go into more depth in the following episodes.

If you have anything you'd like to hear me talk about, please let me know!

Thanks for listening,

Nathaniel
