Join A Secret Italy

Should You Stay Away from Italy in 2023?

Were you thinking of visiting Italy? Are you asking yourself: "is it safe to visit Italy"? 

These are questions everyone is asking after the pandemic. Everyone wants to know "what is happening in Italy". 

Well I've great news! Life has returned to normal.

However, there is another risk. It's a risk I have lived through.

Start by watching the video!

Italy is full of hidden dangers, dangers that you need to be aware of before you even THINK of visiting. These are the dangers I have faced. They are dangers I never regret having risked. I am sure you will want to take this risk this too but, it is up to you. Those first few days after your return home (as you'll see in the video) can be tough... REALLY tough.

Anyway, you HAVE been WARNED! 

If you do want to travel to Italy then you will need to make sure you listen to this travel advice for Italy.

The consequences of visiting Italy can last a lifetime. Failure to watch this video will be entirely on your shoulders.

Therefore, don't book your hotel in Italy, don't plan any tours of Italy, don't book a flight to Italy.... until you have watched this video.

P.S. The video is lighthearted and fun; however, travelling in today's complicated world can be difficult and therefore I seriously recommend you read this article before you make any plans.
