I enjoyed your video! My favorite part was when you went to the Roma vs Caligari match. I do things like this whenever I travel internationally( like when I went 2 Spain for 2 weeks... saw 2 FC Barcelona matches).

Do you speak decent Italian? I kinda had a struggle going to nice local places in Barcelona to eat that require reservations because I don't speak Catalan. I don't speak Italian at all, so getting quality food while on vacation would be difficult for me.

I want to go to Portugal too, but I cannot speak Portuguese either. Their food is bomb AF!

the monotone voice over, combined with the long shots, and video length make it hard to sit through without skipping forward. If you're going for a Rick Steve's vibe you got it down!

Otherwise varying the shot lengths more frequently, more charisma on the voice over, more upbeat music, would bring up the entertainment value. Even injecting some high energy moments throughout would be good.

This is Valuable criticism, will consider during my next edit. you sound like a content creator, are you?

By the way, what was the vibe at the Roma match like? Racist abuse been rampant in Serie A. Did you feel any hostility?

I speak 0 italian. Google translate is your friend. in Italy a lot of people speak enough broken English. i never had a major problem. I wouldn't let language stop me from having good food. worst case id translate the menu before i got to the restaurant

No, I'm just a content consumer :pachaha:

I just really enjoy analysis on a variety of areas. Sports, business, society, etc. It was my time delving into film that I learned to appreciate the art of good editing, writing, and direction.

Looking forward to the next trip/video.

I went to Barcelona and got by just fine with my broken Castellano. I think pretty much everyone there speaks Castellano in addition to Catalan. English proficiency is pretty low as far as Europe goes, though.

Did you? Because even though a lot of the provinces have a minority language, it seems like everyone in Spain is fluent in Castellano so you should be able to get by with just that. Catalan is even similar enough that I could read the words and figure out what they meant
