I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months since I began my Italian adventure and first laid eyes on Cinque Terre. Of all the places I’ve been, I think that the towns of Cinque Terre definitely takes top prize in absolutely breathtaking views no matter where you look. It also doesn’t hurt that the regional… Continue reading Vacation Here: Cinque Terre

After our whirl-wind tours of Florence and Bologna, I was perfectly happy spending a Saturday running a few errands with my cousins and relaxing. By the time Sunday rolled around, however, I was recharged and ready to see some more of downtown Milan. After watching an impromptu parade and getting some delicious pizza at Pizzeria Gino… Continue reading Italian Soiree 2015 Days 11, 12, & 13: Segrate, Milan, & Lake Garda
After three jam packed days in Florence & Tuscany, I was definitely ready to slow down the pace a bit. Bologna was just what the doctor ordered.

Who knew that sleeping in until 9:30am could feel so amazing, but after three very busy days in Brussels and Cinque Terre, it was just what the doctor ordered. While I probably could have slept even longer, I wasn’t about to turn down the opportunity to go to the restaurant supply store with my cousins… Continue reading Italian Soiree 2015 Days 4 & 5: Segrate & Milan
Waking up bright and early after a travel day was definitely hard, but the view that met us in Vernazza (a town in Cinque Terre) was definitely worth it. We arrived a little before noon and after unloading our bags, we wasted no time in catching the ferry to Riomaggiore. The ferry ride was filled… Continue reading Italian Soiree 2015 Days 2 & 3: Cinque Terre
Wednesday definitely feels like it was a whirlwind. After a flight that seemed to wiz by (with barely any sleep), we arrived in Brussels just before 8am local time. We wasted no time in getting through border control, freshening up, and storing our luggage and so by 10am we had made it to downtown Brussels.… Continue reading Italian Soiree 2015 Day 1: Brussels & Segrate
