It’s confession time. From apartment rental mistakes in Paris to spending only one night in Rome, I’ve talked about some of the mistakes I made throughout my trip around Europe. But do you want to know my biggest mistake of all? Barcelona. Oh the regret. Other than always wanting to go to Ibiza, which I knew wouldn’t work out […]
Long ago, before the unification of Italy, people created beautiful coastal towns sitting atop the hills. Not accessible by train, these five hidden gems could only be reached by foot, boat or mule. Forgotten by much of the world, it wasn’t until quite recently that tourists started to arrive. Literally translating to “five lands”, Cinque Terre […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of views over Nice, France. We kept hearing about Castle Hill while we were in Nice, but we just didn’t have the motivation to get our butts up there. A lot of it had to do with the days being […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Port of Barcelona. There’s just something about having the mountains and ocean all in one destination. Maybe that’s why I was so partial to Barcelona– a city which I honestly didn’t even know was a port city until booking […]
After spending a glorious four days in the French Riviera, I finally understood what all the fuss was about. With beaches, great food and French charm, if I lived in Europe, it would probably be my favorite getaway destination as well. As I mentioned before, we really didn’t do much in Nice, but after moving around every […]
Ever since I had decided I would go to Europe, people began asking me if I would make it to Tuscany. It seemed like everyone I talked to raved about this region, calling it their favorite in all of Italy, even random strangers I talked to while in a queue in Hong Kong. I pulled out […]

This week we would like to introduce Sara of Simply Sara Travel. Sara traded her New Jersey bagels for French baguettes when she moved to Paris two years ago. Since the big move she’s learned a bit of French, has eaten more cheese in two years than the previous 25, and can now tie a scarf in 10 different […]
I could write a book on the mistakes I made traveling around Europe. From only spending one night in London to spending too much time in Vienna… and I haven’t even revealed what my biggest mistake was yet! It seems like the cities I thought I wouldn’t like, or was told I wouldn’t like, were the cities […]
Our first few hours in the Rome were pretty telling about what the rest of our time there would be like. Arriving into Termini right on schedule, we had just over an hour to drop off our bags and get ready to eat our hearts out on an Italian food tour that I had been looking […]
