Forget Underwater Basket-weaving 101. There’s a new fun class in town and you even get to eat your homework! The Carpigiani Gelato University is an entire school dedicated to the art and traditional production of gelato. And I’m now a proud graduate! No, I’m not giving up traveling the world to open up my own […]
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 […]
Slovenia’s Lesser Known Caves: Škocjan Caves
There are over 7,000 caves in Slovenia and like me, you’ve probably heard of Postojna, but not the lesser-known Škocjan caves. I was surprised I hadn’t heard of Škocjan. Not only are the caves just across the Italian border, they are some of the most important natural treasures on our planet. In fact, the caves […]
Stepping Back in Time in Saint-Remy-de-Provence
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a charming little Provençal town. The 14th century walls still protectively circle the ancient city center and stepping through the old portes is like stepping back in time. Centuries old plane trees tower above the narrow boulevards – the very same plane trees Van Gogh painted during his time in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Medieval townhouses […]
No Dogs Allowed in the City of Popes
Avignon is just a short drive away from our base in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence so we decided to go check out the ancient, fortified city. As soon as we arrived and started our stroll from the parking garage down the Rue de la Republique, the city’s main central boulevard, we came to a park with a No […]
If Van Gogh Had a Dog
Monastery Saint-Paul-de-Mausole is the psychiatric hospital where Vincent Van Gogh incarcerated himself from May 1889 to May 1890, just before his death. It still functions as a psychiatric hospital today with 67 short-stay beds. Part of the hospital where Van Gogh stayed is open to the public. Van Gogh painted some of his most famous […]
A Sea of Lavender at Abbey de Senanque
My mom was convinced that we would definitely find lavender fields at the Abbey de Senanque, just outside the village of Gordes. And she was right! We wound down a narrow road, hugging the rocky ridge toward the Abbey on Les Routes de Lavande. Abbey de Senanque was founded in 1148 by Cistercian monks. They […]
