Soak It Up

From the Duomo di Milano to the beaches of Sicily, let us take you on a trip around Italy!

Cinque Terre

My friend and I decided to start walking down a random trail from Cinque Terre. We didn't realize we were actually hiking between two cities until halfway through when we were looking down over Vernazza.

The Sicilian Coast

This coastal part of Sicily is known for its amazing fish dishes. Even at night you can see the fisherman catching squid by flashlight.

The Trevi Fountain

My friend, Megan, and I jetted off to Europe for a post-college graduation trip. On our three days in Rome with threw tons of coins into the Trevi Fountain -- first, to ensure a trip back, second because we couldn't remember how many coins ensured our wish would come true!

The Duomo di Milano

I went to Milan a few years ago, and I guess I was photo-shy on that trip -- I'm not in any pics! -- but this is one I took of the famous Duomo di Milano at night.

Dinner in Rome

I went to Italy with my mom and sister the summer after I graduated college. My favorite dinner was at Target in Rome -- we sat outside on a beautiful terrace, sipped wine and ate delicious cheese and mussels.

The Vatican in Rome

I landed in Rome on Palm Sunday and actually got to see the Pope giving Palm Sunday service.

Steps in Sicily

Many of the coastal towns around Sicily are built high into the hills above the water. We walked all day in the hot September heat, stopping here and there to cool off in the shade of have a refreshing classic Sicilian treat: beer with a big dollop of lemon granita.

Sunset in Florence

The sunset in Florence was always so beautiful; it made me feel like I was in a movie.

Colorful, Handmade Pasta

Walking through the market stalls I saw this beautiful array of hand rolled tri-colore tortelloni.

What's a trip to Rome without a visit to the Ruins? They're everywhere after all!
