Hello friends! 

Welcome to the 13th episode of Takeoff to Travel with your hosts, Collin and Olivia. In this episode, we shared our top recommendations for activities to do in Florence.

· Challenges we’ve faced because we don’t speak Italian

Travel Spreadsheet: 

If you’re curious about how much money we anticipated spending in each place on our list (and also how much we have ACTUALLY spent so far), you can take a look here. We hope to make long term travel feel more accessible and attainable for everyone, so we are going to be incredibly transparent with our finances along the journey.
