I was an architecture student before and as an architecture student, it is my dream to explore and see in person iconic buildings and structures such as the Colosseum, the Vatican City and the amazing cathedrals and churches in Italy.
I think Venice is a must, it's a magical city surrounded by water, with many canals and where theoretically.. you make a wish and it comes true.
Because Italy, of course! My parents were meeting my family (me, my husband, and our two small children) in Europe after a business trip, and since they don't make it overseas very often, we needed somewhere epic. Also, we found good deals on flights to Milan! So, Italy was a no-brainer. We decided to rent a car, and therefore decided we just wanted to stay in the Northern part of Italy, to avoid long car trips with two kids.
I wanted to go to Italy for the music, food, art and history! I ended up not getting to dive into the music part because in 2021 Covid restrictions were still very prevalent.
This was a special celebration for my father-in-law's 80th birthday, to see his ancestral village of Itri with three generations of our family!
We started our Italy trip in Rome and knew we wanted to explore the south of Italy. Our plan was to make it all the way around the boot and then end in Sicily, a place my boyfriend has wanted to see for a while. We ended up skipping most of the boot because there was a really easy overnight ferry from Naples to Palermo. So off to Sicily we went!
Summer family trip to Italy
I chose this trip because I was working in Italy at a summer camp in a nearby region, and it felt like the perfect opportunity to explore more of the area. Since I absolutely love the beach, spending my free time by the sea made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
My boyfriend and I travelled to Positano because we had seen such beautiful photos of the quaint little city in the cliffs.
Heard about it from a friend at a hostel in Florence, so we wanted to see it for ourselves
As a history nerd, and a former student of Latin at my Catholic middle school, I had long dreamed of seeing ancient Roman ruins and the cobblestone streets of "the eternal city". So, when I was leaving Spain to go to Egypt and points east, there was no way I could fly over Italy without taking at least a few days to see the major sites in Rome.
I studied abroad in Rome and had a two week fall break from my school. I decided to take the train to Milan which was a little over three hours. My friend and I woke up super early and had made an itinerary from Friday morning to Monday afternoon.
I travelled to this destination because I was set to study abroad in Rome for the fall semester. I arrived alone and spent the first two weeks solo wandering the city and its different districts. Rome is one of the largest cities (area and population wise) in all of Europe, so there was lots to do and see!
I desperately wanted to eat pasta and drink wine in Italy as well as visit the popular historical sites.
This was my first international trip with my Dad for my high school graduation!
