Went to Italy twice this year… and nothing bad happened

• Did not get robbed
• Did not eat at tourist traps (ok ok, had a bad coffee by Italian standards once)
• Did not get scammed (although paid a 0.20€/L stupid tourist tax at one gas station)
• Both times returned the car unscratched
• Driving was mostly at ease
• Car rentals did not overcharge or upsell
• Tolls were a breeze
• Nothing was stollen
• No one yelled at me
• Weather was great
• Accommodations were great
• People were mostly fantastic (except couple of those in the most touristy places)
• North & South

Jusy bad luck I guess, will try harder next year /s
