I think that people are usually split into two groups. People who love the city and everything it has to offer. The ones that couldn’t live in complete silence because they would miss the sounds of cars hooting at each other or people shouting ‘Hello’ from across the street. They would miss the life that …

Travelling to Switzerland had always held an appeal for me because years before my sister and I had spent a few days in Lauterbrunnen and the area had truly stuck with me. I remembered seeing waterfalls wherever we went. We walked up the road to find a waterfall inside of a mountain and even had …

The first thing people always say to me when I mention that I went to Lake Como is “did you see George Clooney?”. I always wish that I could answer yes, but alas, I never saw him. What I did see was a whole bunch of towns, right on the water with the most gorgeous …

I had always assumed that Cinque Terre was one town/city on its own, never was I more surprised than when I was searching for accommodation and found out that it is actually made up of five coastal towns instead. Of course, we didn’t mind all that much because it meant that instead of just getting …

What really sticks out in my brain when I think back to Venice is definitely all the bridges. I researched it later on and it turns out that there are over 400 bridges in Venice and I can honestly say that Luch and I went up and over all of them with our half wheely …

When booking our accommodation in Salerno, we ended up finding a fantastic looking B&B on Booking.com and couldn’t wait to stay in a place where breakfast was included for a change. We communicated so well with our host beforehand and he even got his sister to come and collect us from the train station, so …
Our journey to Rome started off a bit rough to say the least. Up until this point in our travels, I had always been booking the seats for our train journeys, but then I got tired. I felt like it was about time that Luch finally booked our seats, not realising that you can’t book …

I can honestly say that I only booked accommodation in Catania because it was close to Mount Etna and I thought it would be really cool to climb another active volcano. What I didn’t realise at the time was that it would be a little hidden gem on its own. It started with us checking …

What truly struck me as we walked around the ancient city of Pompeii was the grandness of the architecture. By the parts that had survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, we could see how beautiful it must of have been in its day. It was like walking through a history book and we could picture …

There wasn’t a lot of times on our two month trip where I came across a city that I thought was so dirty that I barely wanted to walk in the streets, but that definitely happened in Naples. I come from a country where littering is the norm, so I’m used to seeing rubbish, but …
