University sweatshirt I'm here in May and there's a lot of us travelers backpackers here you know from colleges and they got their Wisconsin logo on them or their Illinois logo on them or their Harvard stuff on there and it just screams I'm a tourist come rob me and you'll notice that people around here they're not wearing hoodies they're not wearing those baggy sweatshirts especially with a big graphic prints on the front so you might want to stay away from that one now I told you sometimes I mess up on these two I wear my well just world logo sometimes so you do have that and all these these are really up to you I'm just trying to help you fit in better so you can have a better time and meet more locals and not get picked on with a lot of selfie stick so if you stick me to selfie stick these kind of things all right and my fit don't for you is don't wear sports shoes here's the thing is you'll see people here in Europe where input sports shoes and stuff like that but they're more like City Street shoes versus like running Nike shoes or Under Armour shoes or Reeboks or whatever so I would stay away from that because if you have on your normal sports shoes from the US with your white socks it is usually a dead giveaway that you're from the US so what you might want to do is you might want to get you know I wear stuff like this you know kind of like a easy to wear slip on slip off which is great for TSA kind of travel shoe and it kind of fits in because it's not a sports shoe but it gives me some support and I kind of fit in a bit better with that so you do have that so anyway those are my five things you shouldn't wear when you're traveling oh if you're a female traveler going along with the shoes don't bring your high heels with all the cobblestones and stuff like that you're gonna have some issues I've seen more than one traveler wipe out on our high heels because of the cobblestones I've seen some get stuck in the great sometimes stuck in the cobblestone if you're gonna be going out to a fancy dinner or something okay you can bring him but you're not gonna wear them around tab because it's not practical all right so I hope that helps no I'm not a fashionista but I am a traveler that wants to help other travelers travel better so there are five honest tips about things my fellow travelers shouldn't wear when they're traveling if you want to learn more we've got ten things still shocking about coming to Rome five things you love and hate about Italy all on our website at Walters WorldCom we're also on Twitter Facebook Instagram and we really appreciate your likes subscriptions hope you have a great time here in Italy and no matter what you wear just have a good time and be safe and if you want to wear a baseball cap with a big sweatshirt and high heels that's fine - it's okay I just wanted to help out a bit by from Rome so I hope you liked that video if you want to see some more videos if you click over here you get videos to kind of relate to what you've been watching it's kind of stuff that you actually like and things like that if you want to see our newest video you click over here and that'll give you the newest video so wherever we're at these days you can check that one out and if you click that subscribe button it's like a circle with the Walters world logo that you know with the train and the guy on it you click on that you'll be subscribed so let's do that but you can do it on your phone just put that thumb Boop I think you can put your thumb like over my face to try to find the right one and be like beep it'll be great see look there you go
