Theres nothing like an afternoon walk through the side streets of Firenze. Florence is a city that feels quite different from Rome or Milan--its more arty, more gritty in a sense--just very real, ver...
Sorry Ive been so MIA--things are incredibly busy on this end, but Ill start the week off with a few pictures from a night in Rome. Rome is one of my favorite cities in the world, and youll find that...
One of my favorite spots in all of Rome is the Spanish Steps. Its the area I come to first whenever Im in Rome. Whether theyre completely crowded with tourists, or dead empty (a rarity, thats for sur...
One of my favorite things to do in Rome (outside of exploring the ruins & eating, of course) is to go shopping. In cities like Milan, for example, the best shopping is high end, and while that ca...

One night in Sicily, I left the mountain top village of Taormina to have dinner on the beach in Taormina Mare. Though I loved the view from the mountains, it was definitely a special experience to ea...
I always love sea get-a-ways because you can be natural & casual, and Sicily had such a relaxed, laid back vibe that makeup, hair, and dressy clothes seemed out of place (especially given the hea...

Sicily was one of my favorite places I visited on my trip. I loved the diversity of the island--you get a village, sea, and mountains all wrapped into one. The town of Taormina was quaint and charmin...
London prep is kicked into full gear. Ive thrown out shelves of books, old Nsync cds, and waaaay too many used and abused bags of old clothes. Most of the process can be tedious, but one part Ive act...
The one thing I couldnt get enough of in Athens was the view of the Acropolis. It can be seen from most spots in the city, and the closer you get, the more spectacular it is. Dining at its base is ju...
