I went up to northern Italy with my au pair family this past week. We were up in the mountains the entire time. It was nice to take a break from the 90 degree weather and get some fresh air! Northern Italy is populated by a lot of Germans, and […]

Taking a gap year after college to spend time in a different country is the most enticing, educational, and scary thing I’ve ever decided to do. I want to share some information in hopes of getting others to consider doing the same. It is definitely risky, especially right after graduating […]
San Petronia Basilica- this church was designed to be the biggest in the world, but was left unfinished as you can see. There are TONS of shops in Bologna.
I’ve been trying a lot of food lately. I haven’t said no to anything that has been offered to me. This is something I was really looking forward to. In America, we have a few meals in our head that we think Italians eat: pizza, pasta, and cheese. And yes, […]
In Italy, it almost feels as if time slows down. I typically wake up at about 9:30 every day (which is early to me since in America I usually wake up at 10/10:30…ha). In the morning, I make myself a cappuccino and eat a small breakfast, usually just a cookie […]
Last year I had an epiphany. How much money can I save per month if I stop buying my usual Dunkin’ order? I used to go to Dunkin’ every morning and get an iced coffee with almond milk. I ordered it on the app, so all I had to do […]

It’s impossible to get tired of Venice…I mean, look at it. Took a picture here because I loved the greenery in the background ! This dude speaks S E V E N languages. Hopefully I can say I speak two by the end of my trip, but […]
Ravenna Located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy, it is a much smaller town but there are beautiful landmarks that need to be seen! Mausoleo di Teodorico Modena Modena is basically in the center of northern Italy. So far, it was one of my favorite […]
Our original plan for the first day was to spend our time in Padova. After eating lunch and visiting the Scrovegni Chapel we decided to take the train to Bassano del Grappa. We got caught in a thunderstorm while we were there, so we didn’t stay very long. we missed […]
Two things: Lots of hills, and lots of colors. Here’s a short montage (Put a song on because I didn’t add audio…lolz…I recommend Butterfly by UMI)
