The past 4 months were quite a ride! And although, I was planning to write about my shenanigans in North America, I simply couldn’t.

Italy road trip – headed to the North: Pisa, Cinque Terre, Genoa and Milan

It has been my dream to see Italy beyond Rome, and to experience it at my own pace. I have already been to Venice, but it was during summer (read: crowds and terribly hot). When I saw that Ryanair has a 10 EUR flight to Treviso, I didn’t hesitate too much. Although, the original plan […]
