Home to incredible food, people, and places to explore.

I’ve been to Italy on a few occasions, each time experiencing a different part of the country’s famed culture and beauty. From the noisy bustle of Naples and Rome to the quiet villages of Cinque Terre, there are gems here for everyone.

My Travel Tracklist: Rome, Pompeii, Naples, Vatican City, Venice, Florence, Riomaggiore, Monterosso Al Mare

Missing photos include: A traditional Florentine steak, blurry from my hand shaking with hunger and anticipation. Getting stalked and yelled at in the streets of Naples.
