The 28-mile narrow and winding road of the Amalfi Coast has tempted tourists by the droves for years and after nearly three years of living in Italy, we finally ventured south of Rome to the famed coastline earlier this year. While the Amalfi Coast was pretty and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ravello (and […]
How to Explore Dubrovnik in a Day
George Bernard Shaw once wrote “Those who seek paradise on earth should come to Dubrovnik”. We’d say ‘ol George was right. Walking the Walls of Dubrovnik The old town of Dubrovnik is completely surrounded by intact fortified walls, even including the Old City Harbor. The walls run for 1940 meters encircling the city and are […]
Sveti Petar: Peninsula of Love
The great advantage to a road trip is the freedom to stop off at places that might otherwise be overlooked when traveling by plane, train, or bus. So when we went camping at Tramonti di Sopra with our new Croatian friend Manuela and she raved about Makarska, we added it to our itinerary. As we […]
Surprised by Split
When Tim planned our route down Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, I wasn’t sure about spending two nights in Split. It’s the second largest city in Croatia and the largest Dalmatian city, so I imagined a bustling metropolis swarming with cruise ship passengers looking for ways to occupy their six hours in port. Oh, how wrong I […]
Day Sailing the Dalmatian Islands
I’m on a road trip along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast and after two days of being (mostly) good while we drove and walked around old towns, I was finally rewarded with a day sailing trip to the Dalmatian Islands. If you’ve been following along on my travels, you know that I love to swim. My mom […]

Camping Under the Perseid Meteor Shower at Tramonti di Sopra
When our friend Melissa, who also told us about the Nowhere Beach, invited us to go camping at Tramonti di Sopra on the same night the Perseid meteor shower was supposed to be the strongest, we couldn’t resist. I even had to convince Tim we should camp out, which meant we should have not only […]
A Foodie’s Dream: The Italian Sagra
One of my favorite festivals, which I have written about before, is the Fiera dell’Aglio in Voghiera. This sagra of all things garlic showcases one of the most renowned varieties of garlic, a gastronomic treasure that even has the status PDO (Protected Denomination of Origin). So what is a sagra anyway? If you’ve driven around […]
The Deserted Island in the Venetian Lagoon
A string of islands waits to be discovered by the intrepid traveler, just a boat ride away from the hustle and bustle of Venice. Having been to only a handful of the islands in the Venetian lagoon, I was excited to join Urban Adventure Tours on a Lagoon Discovery Tour. As our guide pulled up […]
Emma’s Favorite Dog Friendly Beaches
When I lived in Phoenix, AZ, I didn’t have to worry about dog friendly beaches. I had my very own swimming pool right in my backyard. From the day my mom and dad declared the new pool officially open, I loved to swim. Ask me if I wanted to go for a W-A-L-K or a […]
