A quiet oasis in Montenegro: How to Spend a Weekend in Budva

One week before visiting Budva, I had never even heard of her. I had been traveling through the Middle East: eating my way through Lebanon, solo traveling in Oman, and spending a casual day in Doha, when threats from the US began to rise toward Iran. Though nothing had happened yet, I knew I had…

Edro III Shipwreck: How to Visit and What to Expect

When I road tripped Cyprus, the biggest motivation to do so was to visit Edro III Shipwreck. The abandoned ship is located on the west side of the island, only about 10 miles outside of Paphos, but usually a 30-45 minute drive because of traffic and road conditions. The shipwreck looked too cool of an…

One Day Itinerary for Larnaca, Cyprus

One of the biggest questions when considering a trip to Cyprus is, which is better: Larnaca or Paphos? While I was originally planning on heading to Paphos, a cheap flight deal from Italy led me to Larnaca instead.

One-Day Itinerary for Tirana, Albania

I'm currently living in Naples, Italy, but am only permitted to stay in the allotted time of a tourist visa. Already seeking a way to legally extend my time here, I found a great hack: leave the Schengen area as much as possible to continuously add days to my time here. This hack didn't come…

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 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…

Exploring Italy’s Least Visited Region: Valle d’Aosta

Italy is made up of 20 regions total. You're likely familiar with the popular ones like Sicily and Tuscany, and maybe not as familiar with foodie-forward Piedmont and the wildly underrated Le Marche region. But, out of all 20 Italian regions, the smallest and least populated title goes to Valle d'Aosta or "Aosta Valley." So,…

10 Things To Eat in Italy’s Piedmont Region

Piedmont is a culinary mecca of a region in Italy. Known for many local delicacies like truffle, hazelnuts, and chocolate, this northwestern Italian region proves that Italian cuisine is far beyond just pizza and pasta.
