Ah, Rome…the eternal city. I have been lucky enough to live in this historic city for the past month. With this amount of time, it gave me the opportunity to see and do a lot of things throughout the city. Here are some of my favorites:
I was recently in Naples for the day and decided to take a short ferry ride over to the small island of Procida. Procida was like a dream. The pastel colored homes and shops were enough to intrigue me but the atmosphere was something I haven’t come across before. Procida definitely gave an authentic Italian vibe because it wasn’t touristy at all and only few spoke english. Procida is a small island so it was easy to navigate, there are cute little shops and restaurants surrounded near the port. I climbed up one of the only hills and was able to spend time taking in the magical view. If you are ever in Naples, I suggest visiting Procida over any other nearby island, you won’t regret it!
Everywhere I looked in Venice really did look like a postcard. It was beyond beautiful. I was only there for one day but I was able to see a lot with the time I had. Venice is small but can be confusing, it resembles a giant maze. I got lost several times, but that definitely made the experience memorable! One thing I highly recommend if you are traveling to Venice is to ride in a gondola. I made sure to reserve a ticket online and it was way cheaper than buying a ride on spot. For 30 minutes, you can experience the magical city of Venice through the canals.
