Cocktail bars in Scottsdale, Arizona

Hey Y’all! We’re Samantha and Chris!

We’re Sam and Chris, a wife-and-husband duo who traded our RV life in the U.S. for a new adventure as American expats in Italy. 🌍 🇮🇹

In 2018, we launched our blog, Boozing Abroad, to help travelers find the best local bars, breweries, wineries, and distilleries while exploring new places.

In 2023, we documented our cross-country road trip from Phoenix to Alaska (and back to Virginia!) on this channel.

But in 2024, we started a new chapter as expats living in Italy, diving into Italian culture, everyday life abroad, and the joys (and challenges) of moving to Italy as Americans.

Join us as we explore Italy, uncover hidden gems, and share tips for living abroad, and more. Whether you’re curious about expat life in Italy or looking for travel inspiration, we’re here to share our world with you!

We believe the best way to immerse yourself in a new culture is through local booze. We hope to inspire you to travel to a new place and try something you haven’t experienced before!

But seriously, we enjoy most types of alcohol, except Malört (f*** that stuff)! (Sorry Chicago).

For us personally, the best things are the unexpected places that absolutely take you by surprise. Everyone knows that Paris is awesome, but finding that hidden bar deep in the city, that’s what we love.

The worst thing about full time travel is we can sometimes take things for granted. We see so many friggin AMAZING things, that we have to remind ourselves that even the GREAT things are still amazing.
