Organizing a trip to Europe with your children can seem to be a very hard job. You have to consider accommodation options, flight arrangements, and what cities and destinations you want to visit. When you have little children and you are going on a trip with them the learning curve is can be strong and sharp.
Bologna is one of those cities that you just can't forget. The entire city is old & beautiful, and everywhere you walk there is something interesting to explore. While Milan is known for it's fashion, and Rome for it's history - Bologna is known for it's food. On the northeastern corner of Italy it is close to the cities of Parma, Modena, and Venice. These 3 cities are some of my favorite in all of Italy.
When you are traveling you don't want to have to worry about carrying a lot of luggage with you. This is why I recommend just packing in a single carry-on. So how do you look cute with items that can only fit into a single carry-on? The answer is simple - by choosing the right 15 pieces to pack! With just 15 items (shoes included) you can create a wardrobe of over 50 outfits! That is enough outfits to last you 1 week, all the way to 2 months of traveling. I have listed all the items that I pack in my carry-on suitcase below:
We were so excited to begin our Greek adventure with Acanela! We have traveled together before but nothing as adventurous as this trip to Europe. As soon as we arrived in Athens we enjoyed our first meal at Smile Cafe (literally the name) which was a perfect way to begin the journey because that’s what we did every time we had a great meal or great experience. Every tour was educational, every meal was amazing, and every new experience was memorable!
Across the world, Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the mothers in our lives. It’s a time to express gratitude and appreciation for a mother’s hard work in and outside of the family. We’re all prone to taking our mothers for granted and this day gives us a chance to show her how much she means to us! Mother’s Day has long been celebrated and can be dated back to the Greeks and Romans. In recent history, the Western view of Mother’s Day is associated with the way the United States celebrates – with cards, gifts and flowers. However, across the world, different countries celebrate on different days and have their own traditions.
A routine challenge to myself is to keep an open mind and an unwavering sense of adventure. This has ultimately lead to the development of a quite the long bucket list of exotic destinations I want to travel to. People often ask, "why would you want to go there?" and I simply respond with, "well why not?" Relatedly, the older I get, the more I realize that the 'apple hasn't fallen far from the tree' and much of my adventurousness and "always yes" attitude can be attributed to my mother - so who better to travel the globe with?
Traveling is exhilarating in and of itself, but for me it becomes more special when I am able to share it with someone that I love. I attribute my love of adventure to my mother, who decided to leave her comfortable home in the USA and backpack through Europe when she was just 20 years old. Little did she know that 20 years later, she would inspire her daughter to do the same.
