Our Long Hike in Lake Como Was Worth it for the Breathtaking Views and the Delicious Lunch

Buongiorno! Today's video is about my recent day trip to Lake Como. The lake is an easy train ride from Milan but be prepared for crowds, especially during the weekends. My friend Michelle invited me to meet her and her friends for an easy hike. It was not easy. She thought we were starting from a different trail. This hike was intense. My legs were sore for days. The views were incredible and it was nice to be out in the countryside. #lakecomo #travel #milan #hiking #fitness Contents of this video: 00:00 - Intro 01:32 - The Town of Como 03:57 - The Start of the Hike/What the Heck is Going On? 05:18 - Lunch Time! 08:16 - Heading to Torno to Catch the Ferry 09:04 - Ferry Ride from Torno to Como 10:34 - Thank you!

Thank you for watching my newish channel, My Bittersweet Life/La Mia Vita Argodolce, where I focus on all things Italiano, lifestyle, and Saint Martin/Anguilla. I started this channel in 2025. I call it my bittersweet life because as a woman "of a certain age", there are so many changes. Some are positive and some are heartbreaking. I recently lost both my parents and my life is not the same. I have to figure out this new normal. I'm not a fan. Zero out of ten. While there is more public discussion about THE CHANGE, the narrative about older women (especially Stateside) is negative. Is it all la dolce vita under the Italian sun? No, but I'm determined to enjoy this phase of my life. I was so busy worrying all the time, stressing about things I had no control over, and buying into a value system that was not my own, that I sometimes didn't see the wonderful things that were right in front of me. I plan to publish a new long form video on the first and third Sunday on the month and a Short weekly. Let's talk! #movingabroad #expatlife #italy #immigration #genx #immigrant #expat
