Villa d’Este was a DREAM! This villa was built during the renaissance. I did not get good pictures of the inside so the pictures of the outside will have to do. This garden was so elaborate and so beautiful. It was so serene. I could have spent DAYS here! This is yet another hidden gem […]

Pompeii & Naples
Pompeii left me speechless. We only had three hours (compared to the longest possible tour which is nine hours) in Pompeii. Next time I will definitely dedicate an entire day to Pompeii and do the longest tour possible. I think it is so cool how the lava and ash preserved the city perfectly. I also […]
Amalfi Coast | A Weekend Getaway
On the first free weekend of our trip, I went to the Amalfi Coast with seven of my classmates (who have since become good friends!!) and we had the time of our lives. I could write a whole novel on how much fun this weekend was, but I will keep it short. Six of us […]
Anagni & Collepardo | Medieval Monasteries

Fiuggi is a tiny town about an hour from Rome. Fiuggi is famous for its water that supposedly has cured popes and Michelangelo of kidney […]

Ciao, Bella | My Trip to Italy
I am so incredibly blessed. I spent the past two weeks in Italy with 29 amazing classmates. We traveled all over Italy and I ate gelato in at least 7 different cities. This trip left me with some great memories and even greater friends. I crossed a few things off of my “30 Before 30” […]
Girls’ Getaway | Fort Myers Beach
I love Estero Island and all of the fun and food that comes with traveling to this destination!
Spring Breaking in Boulder
