Reflections On Italy
We have now been in the UK for a week (we will get to those posts soon!) but we wanted to wrap up Italy with a few final thoughts, musings, and mutterings. It felt like our time there really flew by! Here is what we …

For All You Foodies: Italy Edition
It probably goes without saying that you can find some pretty incredible food and drink all around Italy. Pizza, pasta, cheese, prosciutto, bread, wine, limoncello…it’s everywhere! Oh, and let’s not forget the gelato shops on every corner. Over the last month, we indulged in some …
Wandering a Ways in Venice
The slowing Frecciarossa (high speed red train) coasted into the station and just like that we were expelled onto the streets of Venice for our last leg of Italy! Within seconds, you could tell that Venice was not your oh-so-ordinary city due to the maze …
Feeling All the Love in Verona
One of the most important things to know about our dynamic is that I am a hopeless romantic, and Gabriel is a champ at humoring me. Hence, our stop in Verona: the city of my namesake Juliet (Italian: Giulietta) and her Romeo. We found a …

Grottos, Lemons, and Mountains, Oh My!
Oh, Capri. How do I even begin to describe how much we loved you? We arrived on the island after a 2-hour ferry ride, which allowed us to see the towns along the Amalfi Coast in the sunlight as we picked up passengers in Amalfi …
Sightseeing From Salerno
And just like that, the prevailing winds pointed us towards Salerno, Italy! (Ok, ok, we actually arrived by train). We had picked Salerno as our gateway to the Amalfi coast and Pompeii due to it being a bit less expensive and much less touristy than …
How Sicily Stole Our Hearts
Sicily turned out to be a beautiful, romantic surprise amidst the backdrop of a very hectic schedule to-date (especially in Rome). We split our four days here between the two towns of Siracusa and Taormina; both of which we recommend highly! It could have been …
Our Roman Holiday: Top 5 Sights
We had only about 60 hours in Rome, which was definitely not enough time to see everything on our list. Our Airbnb host Luca told us he’s lived in Rome for 30 years and still hasn’t seen everything. Apparently, the city is constantly changing as …
