I’m sharing detailed videos about how I spent a 2 weeks trip through Northern Sardinia. If you haven’t seen my other videos, check out what to do in Costa Smeralda (we spent 5 days there!). 

We changed up location and headed to @hotelsugologone. From start to finish we had an INCREDIBLE time here. Everywhere you turn there are pops of color and there is something to discover on the property. 

While today we soaked up the hotel vibes, tomorrow we are off on an exciting boating adventure - maybe seeing the world’s most beautiful beach? 🏝️

I’m an American living in Italy and there is a nev I’m an American living in Italy and there is a never-ending, revolving door of beauracracy to do here. I started a series to share MY OPINIONS on the ease of completing these tasks. 

If you’re moving to Italy or are an expat in Italy, I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of tasks and paperwork. 😅

Do you agree with this list? I can already predict I will get many Italians in the comments lecturing me on the necessity of the gym medicial certificate. 🔮

🌴💕🐠DAY 5: COSTA SMERALDA☀️🐚👙 This is our fifth an 🌴💕🐠DAY 5: COSTA SMERALDA☀️🐚👙

This is our fifth and final day in Costa Smeralda. Don’t forget this is a 2 week Sardinia trip, so there is much more to see after this!

We started our last day at the beach (duh) before cleaning up and heading to Phi Beach…which was…not worth it 😅 If I could go back I’d arrive and enjoy aperitvo OR I’d leave for dinner/nap and come back later for the DJ. I don’t have the stamina to stand around waiting and drinking for hours anymore lol.
