Gondola Parking in Venice, Italy
For decades Venice Gondolas have been romanticized in the movies and ever since seeing Katherine Hepburn cruising through the canals in Summertime, people have flocked to Venetia to listen to That’s Amoré while being slowly pushed through its famous waterways.
Cooking in Our Apartment in Rome, Just Like Home
The best part of staying in an apartment when traveling is to be able to cook at home. One of the most expensive parts of travel for us, is food. We love to eat well and can never bring ourselves to jump in for a quick bite at the stand up bar or grab a sandwich to go.
Kickin’ Butt at Gladiator School in Rome
When we were told that we’d be spending the morning at Gladiator School during our visit to Italy’s capital, we immediately said, “Sign me up!” Who doesn’t want to learn a little about the Ancient City’s past while getting the chance to wield a sword?
Apartment Rentals in Trastevere, Now That’s Going Local
We first were introduced to apartment rentals as an alternative to hotels last year during the Mongol Rally. It was a couple of days later that Roomorama became our official sponsor of the whacky rally.
Ancient Rome in Photos
Ancient Rome is Fascinating. Especially in photos. Looking at the city from both night and day gives you a different feeling. Streets are crazy busy during the day yet hauntingly peaceful at night.
Travel Bloggers Unite – Our POV
My mind is abuzz after Travel Bloggers Unite in Italy. From our side of the weekend’s events, we can state that it was a rousing success. Spending the Saturday leading and attending sessions for Industry professionals was one of the highlights of the event. Now, two days later we are more motivated than ever and have come away with the feeling that the future looks bright for Travel Blogging in Europe.
A Grave Stop on our Rome Walking Tour
I know, You’re wondering why on earth we were at a cemetery on a walking tour through markets and traditional eateries, but this isn’t your every day food tour. It’s an culinary journey through Rome’s culture and history. Kenny, our guide had many a story to share and our stop at the cemetery was the highlight of our trip.
Rome Food Tour – Our First Culinary Journey
We have never gone on a food tour before, but when in Rome, I think that it is something that is not to be missed. So when our old Mongol Rally teammate Sherry of Ottsworld hooked us up with Kenny of Eating Italy Food Tours in Rome, how could we resist?
Can Rome Bring the Romance Back?
We’ve arrived in Italy! If Rome can’t bring the romance and zest for travel back, nothing can! As I caught a glimpse of its massive monument, My mood of weary traveler changed instantly to excited tourist.
1 month to understand, 1 month to fall in love!
I started travelling when I was 20. As a student I couldn’t afford a long stay. As a worker, things hadn’t change.I fell in love with my Sardinia, as I’ve seen it for the first time. So quite honestly, I’m addicted to it, I’m a slow traveller!
Inspiration – I celebrated my 50th birthday in Chianti Then started a business!
Determined to celebrate my special birthday in grand style, I scoured books and brochures for the perfect place. Tutti a Tavola, a cooking school and somewhere to stay in a remote part of the Chianti Hills in Tuscany was an easy decision. A phone call later, our travel plans were under way.
Romantic Getaways – Rome Vs Paris
When it comes to a romantic city break, Paris and Rome are always top contenders for places to go to sweep your partner off their feet in a romantic, exciting and culture filled few days. With both cities offering many similar advantages, when it comes to making the decision you have to ask yourself – are you a Roman or a Parisian?
What I Would Tell You (If I Had the Words)
I gazed over at my Italian host mother, Rebecca. Over the course of the last four months we had become family.During my first few days in Florence, I told Rebecca how nervous I was to start my internship at a Florence museum
Cinque Terre’s Five Villages Hike
One of the most scenic hikes a person can do in Italy is the Five Villages Hike along the Mediterranean region of Cinque Terre. We had heard about this hike in France and when we found ourselves on the French Riviera a mere 3-hours from Cinque Terre we had to hop in our rented Nissan Micra and make our way to this spectacular region. We awoke early to start our 5 hour hike through the Five Villages. The trail winds its way along the Italian Riviera’s Mediterraneans coast between the Five Villages. All we had to do was follow the crowd.
A Detour to Italy’s Riviera. A Treat for the Taste Buds
We couldn’t waste any more time relaxing on the beach and we had to get ourselves to the Cinque Terra in Italy. It is a beautiful piece of the Mediterranean where one can walk and hike along a gorgeous path on the coast. The minute we entered Italy we fell in love with it. The language is music to my ears, the food is heaven to the taste buds and the people are friendly and passionate.
