I Met Joe Jonas

June 26, 2014 / Fashion, Italy, Milan, summer, The List

I, Jesye Streisel, now a fangirl, met Joe Jonas at Men’s Fashion Week in Milan, June 2014. My life is complete 🙂 I almost took it off the list. I almost gave up and decided it was too far-fetched! I almost changed “See a celebrity at fashion week” to just “See a celebrity.” But I […]

Why Visit Manarola?

May 31, 2014 / food, Italy, travel

Landscape shot from the apartment! Before coming to Italy I obsessively searched Pinterest for travel ideas and I remember seeing a picture of beautiful, brightly colored buildings lining a rocky coast behind turquoise water. Turns out that gorgeous place was Cinque Terre annnnnd last weekend I visited the beautiful “Five Lands” for real! A few […]

Taking Candy from Strangers

April 26, 2014 / Italy, market, solo, The List, travel

Rainy day in the park Another item checked off The List, and my first “Get on the Next Train Leaving the Station” trip under my belt. At first, my trip to Torino (Turin? I don’t know which is right) seemed a little like a bust. Leaving the train station may as well have been just jumping […]

Spontaneity

April 19, 2014 / Italy, solo, travel

I’m a planner. I plan everything and tend to be uncomfortable when things aren’t thoroughly organized, be it traveling, teaching, etc. I like knowing what comes next, and am one of those people who eagerly anticipates buying the perfect new planner each year. But even as a planner, spontaneous travel has always been on my […]

Beer and Antiques

March 30, 2014 / beer, Italy, market, Milan

Beautiful plaza full of charming shops This weekend I fully intended to take it easy. Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up, and Tuesday one of my very best friends is coming to visit, so there’s a lot to get done and this weekend seemed like the perfect chance. Well… that didn’t happen. I finally checked the […]

My Failed Attempt to Describe Rome

March 12, 2014 / Art, family, Italy, religion, travel

Colosseum! Please excuse the rambling tone of this post. Too much to say to make sense… Ethan knows what’s up It blows my mind that I can say things like, “For the second half of White Week, I visited Rome again.”  Rome. Just for a few days. For the second time. Is this real life? […]

Florence: World’s Best Ravioli

February 19, 2014 / family, Italy, travel

There’s nothing that delights me more than spending time with my family. Having my parents visit me here in Italy has filled me with more joy than I can even say. After a worrying delay during the “storm” in Newark, my parents arrived mid-afternoon on Friday. I say “storm” in a sarcastic and contemptuous tone […]
