Ever wonder what living in Italy really looks like? Not the tourist fantasy—but the real deal? I’ve been living in the historic center of Florence for years, and in this video, I’ll give you a personal tour of my apartment: Cold War-era flame heater, 400-year-old stone walls, a tiny guest bathroom, and a secret garden space hidden out back.

From the quirks of Italian homes (like bringing your own kitchen) to the realities of single-pane windows and drying laundry in the sun, this is life in Florence—raw, charming, and full of character.

And yes, there’s a shed with my first-ever kitchen inside it… turned into a coffee-roasting bench. Because of course there is.
