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 […]
The Vatican sees over 25,000 people daily, making it the second most-visited attraction in Rome. That’s… A LOT of people. So clearly, whether you’re religious or not, when in Rome– a visit to the Vatican is a must! Even with only one night in Rome, I knew a visit to St. Peter’s Basilica and the extraordinary Sistine Chapel had […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the canals of Venice. From silhouetted churches to pink skies in Paris, we had plenty of memorable sunsets throughout our 5-week trip in Europe. However, I’m not sure any rivaled those of Venice. Night after night we were rewarded with […]
It’s hard to find the perfect purse. I know Johnny would disagree seeing as he could easily find me 50 different purses, all in my closet. But the only reason I have so many is because none of them turn out to be that one perfect bag! I’m sure all you ladies can relate. Add travel into the […]
GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED! Hopefully by now everyone has spent the day getting their fill of Turkey and stuffing! I actually don’t like Thanksgiving foods, I know, how un-American, but I’ve still been enjoying my first holiday at home in over two years nonetheless! As the holiday winds down, the frenzy of Black Friday is upon us, […]
Next to London, Venice was another city that we felt money constantly draining from our wallets. With no convenient city passes or hop-on hop-off buses to help save us some cash, it came down to good ole’ fashioned budgeting. To allow for a bit of splurging, we chose to stay at a hostel further out instead of an overpriced […]
After accidentally walking into The Mark Luxury Hotel Prague, I knew that our actual hotel, Perla Hotel, would have big shoes to fill. Walking into the hotel I was immediately relieved as I loved the decor. Although the words scribbled across the large glass panels read, “Perla”, between that, the bold red and yellow colors and the design […]
Venice’s beauty has long been subject of many artists and writers throughout the century. Now, don’t get me wrong, Venice is beautiful and had me feel as though I was trapped in a painting, but that’s not to say it doesn’t have its ugly moments. Touristy streets, crowds and the smell of sewage aside, it seems a […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Ponte Vecchio in Florence. Ponte Vecchio, which literally just means “Old Bridge” in Italian, is one of the most famous sites in Florence. Spanning across the Arno River, this medieval structure dates back to the 1300s, but was said to […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Michelangelo’s David in Florence. I enjoy going to art museums, but I’ll admit that just like at any other museum, I get bored rather quickly. After taking numerous art history courses as part of my degree in university, I appreciate […]
