Ah! Italia! With all your beautiful carbs and colorful coastlines. I miss Italy pretty bad, and think you all should visit. Right now. I’ve had a lot of people ask me about where we stayed in Italy, as we used all Airbnb’s for this trip (renting a room in Italy was culturally normal before Airbnb… Continue reading Where We Stayed: Italy Edition

Translating Packing Lists Into Real Life
I shared my planned packing list list for Italy, but wanted to follow up and show how it panned out in real life. It’s easy to say you’re going to pack light, but it can be harder to actually do it!

As I said, Cinque Terre is more… Continue reading 48 Hours in Rome
