#92 Ask me about Italy and Sicily

Final post for 2023

Hello friend,

I hope this year you’ve been able to read along on this newletter and understood a little about my life in Sicily. Eventhough this past week it’s gotten somewhat touristy with lists and suggestions galore.

Since I keep getting questions about what to see and do in Italy and Sicily I thought I’d post them here, for anyone to read and save for future reference. These kind of travel advice articles, really are evergreen advice that can be kept and used for planning future travel, without any problems.

While in the new year I want to get back to my own personal travel writing style, talking about everyday life in Sicily and sharing literally whatever is on my mind, after all this newsletter is called ‘A load off my mind.’
