pop in, show her colosseum and take the train/drive to somewhere chill w/in a couple of hours, like Perugia. Italy is still a top 3 country in Europe but the best places have changed. rome and milan are ttts--rome in massive decline-- and Florence/cinque terre/etc are overrun with selfiesticks, but there is still a ton to do and see in every region

i guess western europe is so damn expensive that i think you get less bang for your buck in italy vs georgia.

you're not seeing world class shit if ur in off the beaten path cities, are u? ur just having fun experiences, chilling, eating good food, etc. why not go somewhere cheaper?

I guess if you're the kind of dude that goes on 'mileage runs' to save like 24 dollars on a flight. but you're a lawyer in your 30s and married now. small city Italy at 1.15USD/EUR is very reasonable. also depends what you mean by "world class". without the riffraff more charming than the household names

i mean, there is tons of world class shit in the third world that is literally empty. all that shit in uzbekistan is completely untouched. it's amazing. my Q is whether it's objectively cooler to see samarkand or the non-household name shit that's off the beaten path in italy? sure, you can see both if you're RSF, but if you have limited vaca time, why go for an off the beaten track trip in italy when there's so much more in the world?

difft strokes for difft folks. I've been all over the world 5 times and used to place a high value on seeing odd shit more or less for the sake of it, but at this stage in my life, going on vacations w/ the wife, i value shit differently. going to some central Asian shithold notoriously hostile to foreigners with wife is something i have zero interest in, even if it would have been cool 10 years ago. small city/nature/countryside Italy obviously has a lot to offer

doesnt all have to be edgy and cool. i kinda am victim of the check the box shit more than her. e.g. collecting countries for the hell of it, but she sees zero interest in it.

we were in bsas and i kinda wanted to go to uruguay on the boat for the day just to get in another country, and she couldnt care less. we ended up having fun in bsas anyway rather than hassling with getting up for a ferry and rushing around

something that makes her "smarter" would be all the vietnam war history shit in vietnam.

there's like some old dude in Tirana who every day comes to the same public square and gives a 2-3 hour tour of the city to whoever shows up to see him. I bet he can make her feel smart, and make you feel edgy/cool

EDIT: looks like it's now operated by a team of volunteers, it used to be the same guy I have his name in an old travel plan I wrote
