I was in the middle of moving; ALL of our clothes except for a weeks worth of clothes were at the new house. Then there was the flood that blocked us in together in a separate town from our main belongings, my boyfriend couldn't get home, my roommate couldn't leave work. Then I had vacation. I was stressed and didn't have any excitement in me to shop. These are things I longed for throughout my trip. I went to California for four days; Disney park with rides, TMZ tour in Hollywood. Then I went on a cruise for eight days; Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas, and Puerto Vallarta. A mixture of window shopping and what I would buy if I went again

My great-great grandparents left their home in Barile, Basilicata a century ago to emigrate to new opportunities in the US. Last year I went back to discover some of my roots. What I found was a virtually unspoiled landscape of mountains, farms and small villages full of history. Basilicata has suffered a tough past- poverty, bandits, earthquakes, landslides and even it's own mini dustbowl and has remained sparsely populated and thus much more lightly touched by modern society and rapacious tourism. If you are brave enough to visit (you'll probably have to drive!) you'll find magical medieval villages, gorgeous landscapes, food so fresh and flavorful that it'll make you cry and friendly locals - though don't expect a lot of English!

Rome has always held a special place in my heart—not just for its ancient wonders and irresistible charm, but because it’s woven into my own story. I first fell in love with the city the day I got engaged at the Trevi Fountain, surrounded by the sound of rushing water, glowing lights, and the feeling that the whole Eternal City was celebrating with us. Returning to Rome years later with my 2-year-old daughter added an entirely new layer of magic to the trip. Our favorite things to do blended iconic landmarks with the simple joys of childhood: wandering through grand piazzas where she pointed excitedly at pigeons as if they were rare exotic birds, stopping to smile at warm-hearted nonnas who immediately adored her, and discovering vintage carousels that spun with old-world charm. We took our time savoring gelato in Trastevere, strolling by the Colosseum, wandering through museums, and finding quiet corners like the gardens of Villa Borghese. Experiencing Rome again—this time through her wide-eyed wonder—made every familiar sight feel new. Visiting Rome has become a tradition marked by both nostalgia and discovery, a place where big moments and simple joys come together. Each trip reminds me why this city will always be part of my story. Note this contains affiliate links.

If you find yourself in the EU, going back to the US, or simply just want to get away for a few days: London. I was manifesting it heavily in 2024 and was so excited when the quick trip came to fruition. I highly recommend the city to any and every one but be prepped to spend $$. The food and stay isn't cheap (unless you are okay with being outside of the city) but also it's very worth every penny.
