Obtaining a Russian visa can be a long and expensive process for US citizens, especially if you actually reside outside of the United States like us. To be completely honest, the process was extremely frustrating for us. We tried using the regular United States Postal Service at first instead of expensive international FedEx, only further […]
Wine Wednesday: Scenes from Istria’s Wine Roads
Mention Croatia even just a few years ago and you’d be met with questions like “Where’s that?” and “Is it safe?” But as happens when celebrities like Beyoncé and Jay-Z are spotted frolicking on the beaches or a mega-popular hit TV series like Games of Thrones films there, Croatia has burst onto the scene as […]
Rome’s Borghese Gardens and Villa Borghese
Admittedly, part of the charm of Rome is the absolute electricity emanating from the Eternal City every second of the day. Vespas buzz by the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps are a playground for lovers (and cat-calling Romans), and the Trevi Fountain radiates the wishes of a return. But even in the most captivating cities, it’s […]
Grotto of Catullus and Sirmione
Sirmione is a fortified town that juts out onto Lake Garda on the Sirmio Peninsula. Having never been to Sirmione even though it is a mere two hours away, and trying to travel a little more closer to home these days, we decided to pay a visit. We mainly wanted to see the Grotto of […]
Wine Wednesday: Dinner Amongst the Vines
I was absolutely starving. We had been wandering around the Roman Ruins and lakeside town of Sirmione all day in the heat. Every restaurant menu in Sirmione featured fish and seafood, presumably not fresh from the lake since I’ve never heard of a lake squid, at nearly triple the price I’ve seen anywhere else in […]
Gromo Medieval Fair
One of our favorite ways to explore Italy is by car. Though there is a pretty good train infrastructure in Italy, we find it is usually more expensive to travel longer distances by train for two people and the train just doesn’t afford us the freedom to get off-the-tourist-path like a car does. As we […]
Cascate del Serio: Italy’s Highest Waterfall
We’ve lived in Italy for a little more than four years now and we still have so much of it to discover. While admittedly we’re a little worn out on just walking around old cities, we’ve turned our focus to much more adventure travel around Italy like exploring Italy’s many caves, camping, and long distance […]
12 Spectacular Rooms With a View
Rooms with a view are ones you want to hang out spending time in. Think dreamy over water bungalows you can dive right in to the ocean from and stunning castles surrounded by dreamy countryside. We’ve certainly stayed in our share, and we’re always searching for more spectacular rooms with a view. But for now, […]
The Sex and the City Tour of NYC
Carrie Bradshaw said to Mr. Big, “You’re the Chrysler Building!” New York would be naked without it glistening in the skyline, and HBO sure felt naked to me after Sex and the City aired its’ final episode in 2004. I had devoured the shoes, the fashion, and the locations week after week for six years. […]
Sipping Amarone at Fratelli Vogadori
Fratelli Vogadori is a small family-run winery in Negrar in the heart of the Valpolicella. Three brothers, Alberto, Gaetano and Emanuele, work together to produce wonderful wines and olive oil from their land. They are the third generation running this picturesque winery. The Fratelli brothers’ hospitality began before we even set foot in their winery. […]
