With feet firmly planted back on American soil I have time to sit and reflect on what we’ve just left behind. 45 different beds in 45 nights reminds me of my player days back in college. Okay not so much, but there were 45 different experiences. Each place we stayed had it’s own unique charm, and was a completely enjoyable experience. We set out to show that there were places to stay that offered a more fulfilling experience than a hotel. I think we accomplished that, as we got to know different people all over Italy that I would gladly drop in on again. You can’t generally say that about the guy working the front desk at the hotel.
In 7 weeks we saw something close to 150 different towns, I haven’t stopped to count them all as I still can’t believe we did it. But those 150 towns are just a fraction of what is out there, so we have barely scratched the surface. Our travel philosophy is that you should just go out and wander around, the things that you find are going to be great, and they don’t have to be in a guide book. We unfortunately tried to hold up a pace that prevented us from doing that. But what we wanted to show you were ideas and suggestions. Don’t go out and copy our path, but take some inspiration and get off the “Fodder’s track” and see places that nobody else has. And don’t get us wrong, we aren’t saying that you shouldn’t go to Rome, Florence, and Venice because you totally should. But when you are in Rome, take a day or two and visit the small towns that are within an hours train ride away. It will be an experience that you can share with friends, that they can’t necessarily share with you, if that makes any sense at all.
I’m going to take a couple days to rest and regroup for the American lifestyle, but then begins the post-production magic. I don’t know how long it will take, as with this whole project, this will be a first time thing. But stop back by www.TheVespaDiaries.com every once in a while and see if we’ve made any progress. When we’re done you will be able to see the places we’ve been and stayed with your own 2 eyes. Hopefully this will further inspire you, and give you a real sense of what these lodgings are like.
Until then, thanks to everyone who helped, and everyone of you that followed along with us. We hope that you enjoyed it, and we hope that one day we can invite you along for The Vespa Diaries II.
Sinceramente,
Will
