Being Italian and all, I had to visit my land! I traveled back in September 2018 for a week. It was something that was on my bucket list for the longest time that I was finally able to achieve.
The trip consisted of visiting three major cities Rome, Florence, and Venice. With small visits to Assisi, Siena, Bologna, Padua, and Montepulcino. I traveled with a friend that I wouldn’t say I am close with, nor an acquaintance. We use to work together as massage therapists in a clinic back in 2015. We keep in touch an hang out with some of the other girls we worked with at the clinic. I guess we also went as a group to the cottage two times back in 2016 and 2017. I had a pretty good sense of who she is out of work so I randomly said to her one day “we should travel to Italy together”.. she agreed with my proposal.
Two months after our discussion, the trip was booked. We decided that it would be best to fly to Italy together, so I got another plane home for the day before we were scheduled to leave Canada. This is it, my dreams are coming true, I am going to ITALY!
Here are some photos I thought I would share from my trip. There was literally thousands but I won’t torture you 🙂

Italy is such a beautiful place. Its filled with history. Would love to visit someday…
It is so full of history and culture. I highly recommend Florence. Just a beautiful and clean city.
So awesome! The food looked great. If I ever go to Italy, I’m going to befriend a Nonna and eat the whole time lol
Trust me, you don’t need a Nonna for that! There is food everywhere and I felt like I was constantly eating. The pizza and pasta there is to die for. Nothing like the stuff we eat in North America.
Looks amazing by your pictures and sounds fabulous.. definitely on my bucket list!
Thanks! It was amazing! Definitely a must see!
Beautiful!
Reading all through I learnt about Italy..nice place
Mama mia, all that in a week. Maybe one day you can return and really experience this magnificent country.
The only torture we might experience from reviewing these images is from envy about your opportunity to visit these places and from not seeing more of your photographic results. As beautiful and interesting as the photos are generally, the ones that are the most enjoyable include the smiling faces which appear often throughout.
I spent some time looking through your posts here today and commend you for sharing such a variety of subjects and for writing in such a forthright manner that compliments many of those topics and experiences.
I very much appreciate your interest in my writings and think I will follow along here also.
Warm regards…John H.
