Who doesn’t love souvenir shops?! As I type this, I’m sitting on the top step of Palazzo delle Esposizioni, looking down on Via Nazionale in Rome. It’s the last night of my third trip to Rome, and the three words that cross my mind probably 15 times a day are again going through my head: […]
Why Visit Manarola?
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 […]
Quick Post: Weekend in Genoa

City of Lights and Gargoyles
