  • There's no doubt about it - breakups can break you. When my best friend of ten years was going through we decided, it's time to go to Milan.
    This is a mini-series of our road trip down Italy.

    I'm Joanna Franco, aka Jo, a multilingual storyteller, documentarian, language lover, and lifelong learner. If it's going to grow my mind, wellness, global understanding, finances, or love, I'm all about it. You may know me from my Netflix Show, The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, or from Shut Up and Go, my former channel and company with over 1.2 million subscribers and 600+ videos in travel! Welcome to the next chapter.
    ⌚️Timestamps:
    00:00:00 Intro
    00:00:01 Escape heartbreak by taking a girl trip to Italy.
    00:03:14 Cheap red wine at airport, mom's travel issues, global inequalities. Heartbreaking.
    00:09:32 I cherish moments and memories with my older self. Showing her my home, we appreciate its beauty. We talk about family and celebrate her escape from Egypt's quarantine.
    00:12:30 We followed blue dots to dinner, discovered an outdoor market on the way.
    00:14:53 I tried olive oil, admired jewelry, ate cheese in Milan courtyard. No tourists, used Italian. Misunderstood price, didn't need to spend. Church bells.
    00:20:56 Great service from Cuban server Rey. Young women enjoyed a lavish meal in Italy.

    Gosh, this video reminds me that I really need a traveling friend. As much as I enjoy traveling on my own and I recommend it to everyone, there is just an extra special feeling of traveling with a friend. Not just meeting people in a new place and hanging out with them, but intentionally planning to spend time with someone you know in another country, Someone that you do not need to get to know, or there isn't any awkwardness with. A simple, straightforward friendship that allows you to be you and experience the world feeding off each other's vibe and togetherness.
    This was a beauty video, and definitely one of my favorites of Jo's.

    I loved the story!! It was shared very well. I would love to see more of this style in the future.
    I was having a conversation with my boyfriend about being happy and enjoying the moment. It is so hard to live in the moment without thinking about when the happiness or joy or contentment will go away. I need to be more present and enjoy every moment as it is happening as the moment will never happen again. Great video. I've been watching your videos since Paris.

    Every time it happens, when you think you need something you find it. I had a heart breaking breakup last September and fully separated now but had a trip (Dubai) planned prior to the breakup it helped but I wasn’t as free and open as you had the chance to be in Italy. I’ve made up for that trip with two more since then but it was nice to watch your video from someone who did the and is doing the same steps. Really enjoy your videos, be blessed!
