Exploring The Dark Side Of Italy 

Last time, I explored Italy's lively cities, but this time I checked out some abandoned villages in the south. These places have been left behind because of things like earthquakes, floods, and tough times finding jobs, especially for young Italians. As a result, thousands of villages are empty, turning into ghost towns.
During my visit, I wandered through a few of these deserted villages and chatted with locals about the tough realities they face. It was eye-opening to see the difference between the bustling cities and the empty villages, showing the darker side of Italy's prosperity.
This experience got me thinking about the challenges many communities deal with, even in a country as famous as Italy. Come along as I uncover more about Italy's hidden truths. And don't forget to subscribe for more travel stories!

WHO AM I? My name is Shota and I'm a traveler and van conversion enthusiast. When I was 19, I left Japan and spent nine years exploring different countries and immersing myself in diverse cultures. In the past three years, I've been sharing my adventures in Japan through my RU-vid channel, showcasing the lesser-known sides of the country and vanlife travel experience. When I'm not busy converting vans and ex-Japanese police buses into campervans, I'm back on the road, traveling the world and sharing my journey with others. My ultimate goal is to inspire others to embrace the diversity and vastness of the world around them.
