You can read my Italy posts here: Venice: 3 Stars, Portovenere, Cinque Terre, and Rome.  Quite a list, to be sure! But we still have one more stop in Italy: Florence. Where we stayed: If you…

After our hike through Cinque Terre we headed to Rome, which turned out to be my favorite.  The boys were scheduled to fly home the next day and us girls had plans to power on to…

*Originally posted on apanueloworld.com regarding a trip in 2017. A little lesson we learned in Italy, 2017. But first, the details: Where we stayed: We booked our airbnb in La Spezia because it was cheaper than staying in Cinque Terre and was walking distance to the train that connected to each of the cities. This was hands-down…

Cinque Terre is Italian for ‘five lands’ and is not a city so much as it is a region of 5 coastal cities: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.  When I first heard about Cinque Terre as a destination I heard that there was a hiking trail connecting each…

If I had to use one word to describe Vienna it would be: Classy.  Vienna was once the capitol of both the Austrian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, in their times, and home to its royals.  It has a few palaces spread across town, uplifting the…

*Originally posted on apanueloworld.com regarding at trip in 2017. In June of 2017, we landed in Prague, Czech Republic to begin our sibling ‘Euro Trip,’ as we called it.  Prague was an excellent city to start in because it’s so quintessentially European that it puts you in the right mood, right away. On our first night we…

The first time I remembering hearing specifically about southern Spain was in my college sophomore “Spanish Culture & History” class.  Before this class my knowledge of Spain was that it’s home to tapas, bull fighting, and Spanish.  As it turns out, Spain has a lot more…

*Originally posted on apanueloworld.com regarding a trip in 2017. If I had to describe Barcelona in one word it would be ‘vibrant.’ Barcelona is a city, not only of history, but of colors.
