A Royal Road Trip Through The Castles of Emilia Romagna

Emilia-Romagna is commonly referred to as Italy's "Food Valley" for good reason. It's home to Parmigiano Reggiano, Balsamic Vinegar, Tortellini, Mortadella, Erbazzone, and various other iconic foods and dishes, 45 of which are protected by government standards. While we know we can get a good cheap eat in Bologna and spend a foodie-centric day in…

A weekend guide to Trapani, Sicily

A little fun fact about me -- there's basically no point in me ever booking a return flight from Italy, because every single time, I end up changing it or cancelling it completely. Insert my month eating my way through Sicily as a prime example. I woke up the day before my flight back to…

From Palermo to Trapani, here are 30 dishes to try in western Sicily

I am in Italy more than I'm not in Italy, but a region that had particularly been calling me back to spend more time in was Sicily. Luckily, I work from my computer meaning, the world is my office, so I have the great privilege of spending extended periods of time in various locales around…

Know Before You Go: Visiting Favignana

During my first visit to Sicily, a friend who lives in Pompeii texted me and said, "You must go to Favignana." I had never heard of Favignana, but looking up its dreamy waters and remote location, I immediately made a mental note to keep Favignana on my radar. Located off of Sicily's west coast in…

One day itinerary for Palermo, Sicily

I've traveled to all 20 regions in Italy -- from exploring Scottish towns in Tuscany to falling in love with Umbria's capital in just a day -- but my audience consistently grills me on how little I cover Sicily (even though I had been to Catania before and would return for a number of reasons).…

Puglia is a southern Italian region that has garnered a lot of attention in recent years for good reason. She's dreamy. But while most people know to come here for the region's impeccable beaches, where many fail to do proper research is knowing what to eat. Puglia, like every Italian region from the hidden gem…

One-Day Itinerary for Perugia, Italy

After a series of spontaneous decisions, while in Florence, I cancelled my ticket back to New York City to extend my time in Italy. I had no idea where I was going, where I would sleep, or what I would do, but needing to make a quick decision, I looked on a map and saw…

One-Day Itinerary for Venice, Italy

My first time ever stepping foot in Italy was in the city of Venice back in 2017. I vividly remember skipping down the streets, dancing in pure and utter bliss. Nearly ten years later, I would be brought back to Venice just for a day when a work opportunity arose. While I fully stand by…

One-Day Itinerary For Parma, Italy

I will never forget my first time in Parma, Italy. I had just spent one day in Milan, and admittedly, Milano is not my favorite. But I had a flight out of MXP just a few days later, so I had two options: hang in Milan for another day, or head somewhere new. I chose…

One-Day Itinerary For Aosta, Italy

After spending a day in Alba, I looked on a map and saw just how close I was to Italy's least explored region: Valle d'Aosta. With a three-hour commute, including two trains and a bus ride, I could be in the region's capital, Aosta, to properly explore. The rest is history. I knew VERY little…
