i love how you're not just traveling but also reading books about the history of the places. you have so much passion for learning.
The black coat is definitely not too warm for Venice. I have been in Venice in November before and it is frigging cold. Have fun, i love Italy and go there every year at different seasons. Greetings from Germany.
My aunt has been living in Rome for the last 30 years and I visited her in May of 2019. It was pretty cold at night time and during the day it was bi-polar. I believe in December it will be colder. I would pack up some warm sweaters and cardigan, a jacket, a hat, and nice leather gloves. Scarf too.
I would leave the sandals and bring some warmer layers!! Enjoy your trip!
Hahahaha you look so summery and i’m currently in Spain with a t-shirt, a turtleneck, a sweater, and a woolen blanket on AT HOME! 😮💨 places in the south of Europe are sometimes not properly isolated from the cold so I’d be sure to pack something warm. I’ve also lived in Northern Europe and I can tell you that mediterranean winters are cold and damp 😮💨
Rome is my hometown and I hope you enjoy your time there. The Non-Catholic Cemetery is definetly an interesting place to visit. And if you find yourself missing Calcifer in Rome by the Fori Imperiali in Largo di Torre Argentina there’s a cat rescue, which if I remember correctly can now be visited. Enjoy your time in Italy and I’m looking forward to your Italian vlogs. ❤
Your videos are therapy for my mental health, thank you!
Emma you have to go to Greece someday! I went in 2019 and did a Greek mythology history tour and it was so cool. Btw the outfit you were wearing with the coat is so pretty!! I hope you have the best time!
Enjoy your trip! Just finished the name of the rose which is set in Italy btw. have a great time :)
I also read it recently and it blew my mind, such a great book
Thank you!! Ooh I thought about bringing that one with me👀
hello from italy emma!! i'm here on a holiday myself and it's so beautiful and rich in history, you're going to have such a special time and i'm wishing you all the best for your trip!
I totali get the finding ancient roman hostory amusing! When we did it in school it was just so fun studying it, there are parts where it seems just like a soap opera.
I hope you’ll enjoy Italy!
"Cimitero acattolico" (the non-catholic cemetery) in Rome is so beautiful. 💗 There's no entrance fee but they ask you to donate even a few euros so that they can keep on taking care of it. Highly recommend. There's also Keats-Shelley house to visits, the house where Keats died - that's also beautiful
21:35 oh! i would like to see a video about your classics binder! looks interesting 😊
i know emma gets very hot and doesn’t feel the cold that much but seeing her bring those light clothes while i’m all bundled up gave me chills shsjsjsj
hope you have so much fun in your trip emma
Jumping on this comment just to say Venice is cold and wet! I was watching her pack sandals and light clothes and was thinking "this is not enough!" IDK how the cold in Toronto feels but when you're surrounded by water, it gets into your bones. Other than that, I know you're gonna love it. And, if you can, try to wander aimlessly around the city, you're gonna find the sweetest shops and galleries that otherwise fly under the radar. Happy travels!
Enjoy Italy ! It's bit going to be too warm and withso many tourists ❤ I love the sound of paper in this vlog, thanks ❤
Emma, is not so warm in Italy ... your clothes are beautiful, but don't forget to take some warm clothes :)
Haha for me though it’ll feel so nice and warm!!
@emmiereads where is vampire chronicles series the vampire lestat book review I have been waiting so long for it tell me when is should expect?
@@emmiereads I was gonna say the same. It's winter, Emma! Ten degrees maximum in Venice this week.
@@lysancasilvestris4449 that's autumn weather for us Canadians, for us winter is negative 20 🙈
She's Canadian lol
I came back from Venice only a week ago and it was magical to say the least! Have fun!!!
Calcifer in your suitcase, Don't forget to take me with you!"
Hope you have an excellent trip! Take care and be safe. 💕💕🙏
Hey girl love your videos ❤ I lived in Italy for a while and my husband is Italian. Just wanted to recommend from one reader to another, stop by a Feltrinelli or Mondadori while your in Rome :) they are similar to a Barnes and Noble. Also you will need warmer clothes but if you have the space, buy clothes in Italy they have a lot of stylish clothes compared to the US in my opinion. Bring good shoes for the Roman Forum and Pompeii, seriously the streets there are no joke. Enjoy Italy! Eat and drink local to the city you are in. ❤❤❤
Hi Emma, I hope you enjoy my home country a lot! I love the outfits try on ✨ But just a heads up: it's supposed to get wetter and colder in the near future here in central italy (I'm in Rome). And I'm sure loads of people told you already but you might need slightly warmer clothes, it's just 4-5° C warmer in Venice than in toronto, it's going to go below 0° C at night in a few days! 💛
Hello from Italy! So happy to see you so excited for this trip and how much you prepared for it. I’m in Rome this weekend if you need anyone to go book shopping with 😂 hope you have an amazing time❤
Ps: it’s very cold here at the moment, you’ll need the coat
So excited for you Emma! Hope you have a wonderful time! Can’t wait to see the vlogs! ❤
Hey Emmie! I have a family member that’s currently suffering with a concussion that sounds very similar in terms of symptoms to yours. They’re very sound and light sensitive. To help with the sound sensitivity, they wear earplugs. They use the Loop brand earplugs and they really like them. I also use them when I go to spin class (can’t deal with how loud the music is but spin is just so fun for me) and they work great to dampen the loud sounds, but you can still hear what people are saying if they’re talking. Hope this helps! Enjoy your time in Italy!!
Emma! beautiful clothes, but just a heads up: I've been to/worked in Italy in winter and it's not warm (definitely not as cold as it can get in Canada), but it usually stays around 5-9ºC on average, especially if you go sightseeing at a slower pace (this usually in Rome and northwards). 🤍❄
Your clothes for the holiday look stunning!!
omg emma!! i just planned a trip to rome with my friends for next year!! i'm so excited to see how your travels went!! 💛 nothing like getting a notif that you uploaded! much love and take care!!💛
p.s.: love all of the outfits so much!! i love how you dress, you look great always!
Rome is so incredibly beautiful! I went last year, and even through it was unbearably hot (like 40 degrees) I enjoyed it so much.
catch me living vicariously through you bc i was supposed to study abroad in rome next month but plans changed😞 i hope you have so much fun!
Have fun in Italy Emma! Hope you and your partner have a wonderful time and safe travels. :)
the quality is really niceeee i like it, love the video! have a good trip Emmie :)
Emma, you should pack warmer clothes! You probably already left for Italy, I hope you decided to bring at least that coat!
Hope you have the time of your life (:
I was in Rome many years ago and I loved it there! Hope you will have a wonderful time in Italy! 😊
Emma, wish you have a wonderful time in Italy! 💖
I travel with my cat everywhere now and he loves it
I completely get what you mean about the value of historians taking the info a step further and talking about the source of it and discussing how accurate it may or may not be.
Love the brown trousers! ❤
Very jealous. You're going to have so much fun!
Italy is cold, wet and windy in December, you'll need at least a few warm clothes and a beanie and light gloves😊.
The quality of your new camera is good.
Can't wait to see your vlog!
Hope you have fun, Emma! i haven’t had the means nor privilege to experience this type luxury aka travel. This is the proof that being a Canadian passport holder will get you places. I’m around your age and still working hard to escape from some religious and cultural oppression. Watching your videos and indulging free time in books is my way to cope with the reality we’re never asked for. Have fun once again and enjoy your trip!
If there is one restaurant that I can recommend, then it’s osteria la sol fa, it’s not in the city center, but that was the best tiramisu and Cacio e Pepe that I have ever eaten, taste buds forever changed
Tai chi! Try it. I am a big fan. It's slow, quiet, but still powerful. And a fighting style if you speed it up. Moving meditation.
Is it 1AM in india? Yes.
Am i watching as soon as emma posts? Also yes.
💙💙 hope you get a super rest afterwards!!
@@emmiereads 😁🤗
12:36 - also Laurence Sterne 'A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy'. Try it sometine
I have visited Italy in May and needed an overcoat and a hat, so you may well need the big black coat you're thinking about. Note that I'm from England and not Canada, so your tolerance for cold may well be more than mine. I think I needed the coat more because it was damp and humid than because it was really cold, though. Also I was only there for about four hours. Your mileage may vary, but in your place I would take the coat with me.
I also have a Canon EOS (not the same one as you), and they are very good still cameras, especially at the price. I've never tried taking video with mine, though, so it's interesting to see how well yours has done in this video. Have you tried taking video of a moving subject?
Hope you have an amazing trip Emma! Loving the cozy little vlogs. I just reread The end of loneliness by Benedict Wells, my favorite book of all time, i think you’d really enjoy that one too ❤ all the love from Germany xx
have fun in Italy
It's definitely not t-shirt weather in Italy anymore!😢
Have a great trip Emma! I hope you have a wonderful time there!
I hope you got a good deal on the M50 Mark II because that lens system is a deadend without support from Canon. The Canon R50 is the same one but has more lenses and bodies coming in the future.
Saw an exhibit on Pompei years back and cried right there on the spot when imagining how people might have felt. 😪 Would I go visit? Yes!
I love your outfit combos (with or w/o Calcifer hair).🐈 Stay safe and have a fun trip!
Emma, you need warmer clothes for Italy. Maybe also a warm jacket I was in venice last month and it was a bit windy and cooler in the evenings. And on one day it rained that strong, a lot of places were "underwater" . So bring good and waterproof shoes. I was glad I had these😂But I hope you enjoy your trip❤❤
Cat bonds are sacred. A few days ago, on 23rd november, I lost my beautiful 14 yr old black cat, Cautious (via euthanasia at the vet) due to renal failure. I don't know how to be. Every space makes me think of her. I lost my other beautiful black cat Arian at age 22 last year. It doesn't feel fair to have to do this 2 years running. My cats had my whole heart.
Emmaa! That lipstick colour is sooooo good on you😊
Thank you lovely!!🧡🧡
A good time to go to Italy, especially the tourist spots, far fewer tourists and dare I say, pickpockets. I always enjoyed late Autumn into Winter for my trips, colder nights and days can be variable from pleasant, if you have a jumper, to rather chilly. Good luck and I hope you have a great time.
(12:51) Hey Emma.... I am currently in Italy, and after havin' seen your dressing choices I just want to give you some advice. I am now in the north.west part of Italy, and now is 22:35 here and there are 4 grades centigrades. I know that you are from Canada, but... I will put some more wool pieces in your travel bags if I were you. Don't tell me I have not said it to you, okay? :)
Have a nice one, take care.
girl, do you think that Europe doesn’t have winters? please pack some winter clothes
Emma, have a great trip!! Hope you have so much fun!!
When you get back to Canada and still want to read about Rome, I highly recommend Memoirs of Hadrian, by Marguerite Youcenar. It's beautifully written and it's all about the classics, babyy
So looking forward to welcome you here emma!!!❤
Has Emma ever mentioned the lipstick she wears? I love this shade.
Great vlog. Hope you have an amazing bookish time in Italy. 📚☕🦇💼🇮🇹
Enjoy Italy Emma 🇮🇹❤️ sooo excited you’re here visiting my country, just saw your Venice picture on Insta, hope it’s everything you hoped it would be ✨
One day I will be able to do as much travelling as you've been doing recently, one day 🤞 hope you have so much fun :)
Emma's Roman Empire is literally the Roman Empire 😄❤
Mary Beard is very engaging in her TV documentaries on Roman history as is Bettany Hughes on classical Greece.
just came back from Rome, have a nice trip ❤
I could seriously watch a 30 min video of you trying on clothes. You look good in everything! Haha hope that isn't weird to say. Have an amazing trip in Italy!
Yess! I’ve always felt that as phones (iPhones) get older, the quality of the camera decreases!
It’s scary😂
Okay so not just me😅
Do you have any tips for travelling with a concussion? I still struggle to go on short car drives.
19:25 George RR Martin loves playing with unreliable historians throughout his books
I like the look your camera gives a lot :) and your lipstick colour suits you beutifully :)
I like the iPhone but just feel free to use whatever you like both have great quality in terms of filming ❤❤
Would you maybe share some of your reads etc. from your classics minor time?
I love that your Roman Empire is actually un ironically the Roman Empire 😅
i love rome, italy is my second home
You could well need that coat, Italy can get cold and rainy in winter. Bon Voyage!
I can't wait to see to see her Rome trip!!
ayeee im goin to italy too
Have a great time in Italy!
Any chance you will be reading one of these December books?
Charles Dickens - Cricket on the Hearth
Italo Calvino - If on a winter's night a traveler
Jonathan Franzen - The Corrections
John Steinbeck - The Winter of our Discontent
George Saunders - Lincoln in the Bardo
Hi Emma! Loved this video! Im not super techy so I have no preference over camera quality etc...i love your videos and to me the camera quality doesnt change my experience of them :)
Also as you mentioned that the kickboxing class was loud and the lights were too bright I thought I would mention a channel that I use pretty much daily as she has brill kickboxing vids that you can do at home which i personally love--- Christa Dipaolo is the channel name...she has a bunch of vids and I highly recommend them :)
Would you be able to share the details on the Amalfi Coast outfits?❤
I think the quality of the new camera is looking nice :)
I wanna recommend you a novel set in ancient rome that I think you would love which is "Feast of Sorrow" by Crystal King. It is so good (one of my favs) and has a lot of food description!
Don't forget to get some venetian glass...Have fun! Enjoy yourself. 💌
Your fashion sense 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
What model of camera was Emmie using before this one?
Wait a second, you know that in italy this season is autumn? It's not the time for shorts and sandals, no one swims in this season! I'm italian, check the weather pls
When you did your minor in classical studies, did you also learn latin and ancient greek?
The quality of photos degrading as the phone gets older also happened to me with my current phone. The photos I took on the first week I got it (4 years ago) look soooo different from what new photos look, it's ridiculous
2:23 “Zima” (Зима) means “winter” in russian :)
Yayyy ❤️✨
I started Krav Maga classes 2 years ago after I had my son because I wanted to be able to protect him & myself better and it was the best decision ever!! They kick my ass but in the best way 🤜🏻 10000/10 recommend martial arts / self defense classes:)
Omg did you say your toes start tingling!? Mine tingle too, like butterflies in my toes. I've never met anyone else who feels toe butterflies 😆
Also, I double majored in English and Classical Civilization in undergrad, and I went to the University of Toronto. I also hated living in the city! Over and over again I am amazed by how much you and I have in common. I'm so glad I found your channel ❤
Read the Beard...excellent. Her most recent (on the Caesars) is even better.
Emma I miss your studying vlogs🥹
You should definitely read Hadrian memoirs (I think that's the English title) by Marguerite Yourcenar if you still haven't!!!!!! The writing is absolutely amazing
( My second comment) : ..."swimming"??? How do you are thinking to go, in november? At the Seychelles? You'll not swim in Italy into the sea in late november, I tell You! :)
It's cooold here in Europe. Please pack more warm clothes .
Me, who doesn't see the visual difference between cameras at all: 😶😶😶
Hi Emma ❤ idk if you're comfortable sharing but i don't think I've ever heard you talk about how you actually got your injury? I realize if it's traumatic or personal you of course don't have to share but i was just wondering.. Has the post concussion syndrome been better lately than i remember a couple years ago? I've been following you since haha 😄
Florence is the same latitude as Toronto.
