Travel With Me // Italy’s Amalfi Coast: Sorrento & Positano

August 31, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

After soaking in a bit more of Tuscany with two days in Siena, and after our most “dramatic” train mishap of the entire 2.5 month trip (story for another time), we headed south down the west coast of Italy toward the Amalfi Coast. Known for its colorful fishing villages, its rocky Mediterranean terrain, and its… continue reading

Travel With Me // 7 Things to Do in Siena, Italy

August 16, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

After exploring the culture and food amidst the hustle and bustle of Florence, we were ready to get a taste of more Tuscan countryside. We escaped to the slower-paced Italian town of Siena. While smaller and less frequented than Florence, Siena isn’t lacking in things to do. In fact, the historic center of Siena is… continue reading

Travel With Me // Florence & the Tuscan Countryside

July 19, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

As we made our way south by train from Cinque Terre to Florence, we could not have been more excited to explore the capital of Tuscany. The Tuscany I had seen in movies and read about in books seemed to offer many of my favorite things: pasta, cheese, wine, culture, a slower life pace (la… continue reading

Travel With Me // Cinque Terre in Two Days

After living the dream in Lake Como for five days, we headed east to Venice! I already shared all about our time in Venice in a guest post on Ashley’s blog, The Wandering Weekenders.

Travel with Me // Five Days in Lake Como

April 26, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

Our next stop in Italy was one of our most anticipated – five glorious days of relaxation in Lake Como! We were excited to pause and take a break from the go-go-go of our backpacking trip while still getting to explore a new place. As we were there at the end of February, it was… continue reading

Travel With Me // Milan in Two Days

April 13, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

For our final country on our extended backpacking trip, we picked Italy, a destination that has been at the top of my dream travel list for many years. When we left the US a couple months earlier, we actually didn’t know if we would be able to make it to Italy. We decided to play it… continue reading

Travel With Me // 5 Things to Do in Geneva

March 29, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

After spending a couple of days in Lucerne, we headed back to the western part of Switzerland to spend one full day and a couple of nights in Geneva, our last stop on our tour of Switzerland! Our time in Geneva was short, but we really enjoyed it and learned a lot while we were… continue reading

Travel With Me // Lucerne in Two Days

March 15, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

I’ve struggled to get this post on Lucerne together for a variety of reasons. The main reason is one I’ve mentioned before and which is consistently the culprit behind my blogging breaks – busy season is in full swing at work. However, I can’t fully blame my lack of inspiration to blog on busy season since I’m on… continue reading

Travel With Me // Zurich on a Backpacker’s Budget

February 9, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

When you enter Zurich, it feels like you are walking into a land of luxury. The city is clean and stunning, with a beautiful variety of architecture and an atmosphere of history. Everywhere you walk, you pass designer and luxury stores, even more than in New York or London it seemed. Zurich is also a hub… continue reading

Travel With Me // Bernese Oberland by Cable Car

January 31, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

While staying in Bern, we knew that we wanted to use one of our four days in town to see the mountains nearby. We did a little research and discovered that there were some car-free mountain-top villages only accessible by cable car. This sounded like a fun adventure, so we started looking into the logistics. We… continue reading
