Follow along as I try to figure out my life abroad 🇮🇹

If you don’t have Naples, Italy on your Italy trav If you don’t have Naples, Italy on your Italy travel list WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Once you’re here there is sooo much to experience! Good food. Great people. Seafood. Spritz. The list goes on and on. 

Plus, there are so many side quests you can experience! While most people tack on a day trip to Pompeii, I suggest going to a slightly less popular spot: Herculaneum. This seaside town had also been destroyed by Vesuvius but was covered in volcanic mud instead of ash. It has preserved the town in an incredible way. 

📌 Make sure to save this if you are visiting Naples!

Back in our favorite place ⛷️❄️ I am NOT a fan of Back in our favorite place ⛷️❄️

I am NOT a fan of the cold unless it means skiing. IYKYK…Campiglio has a huge spot in our hearts. 

We had a wonderful weekend taking advantage of some slightly sunny days on the slopes! It never ceases to amaze me that this is just a few hours away from where I live 🤯

Had the best time staying at the @biohotelhermitage 
as always!! These days it feels so rare that a hotel can feel like home (family-run, hospitable, etc etc) and the Hermitage checks all the boxes. 

Where is your favorite Italian ski spot?! 🎿
