What is Palermo really like? // Vlog (VIDEO)
Before visiting any city, I like to quickly read a little about the safety and areas to avoid. I adopted this practice after ending up in what was apparently the worst part of Athens. I know not to believe everything I read on the internet, but you have to start somewhere. When reading about Palermo, I was nervous to read many accounts of peoples scary experiences and of course talk of the mafia. I was pleasantly surprised when we found ourselves in Palermo, how warm the people were (even though we don’t speak italian), and how safe I actually felt (even though we were staying in one of the supposed “areas to avoid.”) Our airbnb host was wonderful and I found that most of my interactions with people were playful and light. We did get to visit the Ballaro Market, one of three famous markets in the city, which was definitely my favorite part. Enjoy and share with your friends!
WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?
My channel is a place for adventurers to come together, inspire each other and to share my adventures with those that I love. My partner, Scott, and I made the biggest decision of our lives in 2016. We decided to leave everything behind, rid ourselves of our belongings and take on a travel lifestyle. We have bought one way tickets and have opened our hearts and minds to what this journey has to offer. Please enjoy and share with anyone who you think will be interested. Sending love to all of you on whatever journey life has brought you. It’s time to COME TO LIFE.

I am from Ragusa in Sicily. Next time you go back, you should explore Ragusa Ibla and the Noto valley (Valle di Noto) they are on the south eastern side. These areas are very Baroque, with so much history that were made part of Unesco world heritage. For your coffee, you got a caffe' corretto, which means a corrected coffee,usually with a drop of brandy or grappa, this is a classic.
Don't shake camera. Bad camera work
Great video I like the choice of music. I have lots of family in Sicily, just 2min from the airport and have been there 5 times since Aug of 2016. I love it there.
wow
Typical rich-kid SJW, like " this is experience for me… i want to change the world blabla"
Give sicilians your money and stfu hahahaha
I was born in Palermo and I stayed there for 14 years so I can speak fluent italian, but unfortunately I moved to UK
Disgusting hipster, I’m sorry I don’t trust crazy people, fix ure hair you are not black, that’s cultural appropriation

Palermo is similar to Barcelona (architecture and street), more beautiful, people are …… people, struggling to survive. Grazie a tutte le persone che ho incontrato, tutti erano molto gentili.
i love it

I hope you do realise that italians simply drink coffee that way, it's called cafe corretto, you probably came of as douches complaining about that.

Please change the tone of your voice–too high pitched –very irritating—like you're crying because something stuck in your throat–speak in a lower /slower tone.
My grandfather was born in San Cataldo in 1904. Is your family from Sicily?
