Italy

Italy is one of my favorite countries. I keep wanting to visit it again and again to explore not only the major cities but some of the lesser-known places, because every region is beautiful. I love the food, culture, and breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re wandering cobblestone streets, marveling at Renaissance art, or savoring a perfect plate of pasta, Italy invites you to slow down and savor the moment - something I cherish so much.

So far, I’ve explored Rome, Milan, Venice, Tuscany, Florence, and Verona, each with its own charm, flavors, and experiences to offer. Click on the thumbnails below to discover my travel tips for Rome - more guides and trip recaps will be coming soon!
