The second stop on our summer adventure was Venice, a city I’ve been dying to see for a while now. It’s a short train ride from Milan (though we traveled from Rome), and while it’s incredible enough to spend a month visiting, it’s also the perfect destination for a weekend getaway. Holly and I fell […]
Exploring the World Marco Polo Style
Roaming Rome (hehe word play)
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: […]
I Met Joe Jonas
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?

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
Nice is Nice (see what I did there?)
Amazing antique shop in Nice After my adventure in Turin/Torino (really, I’m not sure if it’s polite or pretentious to call the city by it’s Italian name… help?), I spent most of Spring Break being lazy. It’s funny how normal/boring life can be here. Wake up early, go to work, grocery shop, head home to […]
Taking Candy from Strangers
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 […]
