At last! Some inside, honest Italy tips. Just when you thought you might know everything there is to know about Italy, these 30 travel tips may take you completely by surprise. Not many travelers are willing to share such secrets so you are in for a treat with this blog post.
To discover Florence off the beaten track means that you will get to experience the best of what this gorgeous Italian city has to offer but without the crowds and flag sellers.
Pompeii. History, mystery, ruins, intrigue. Perfect material for a first-time visitor like me, desperate for the sights to live up to her expectations. I wanted to write a Pompeii travel blog but I secretly feared that the ancient ruins wouldn’t deliver the goods.
I thought it may be another overpriced tourist attraction.
In my head, Pompeii was going to be a small little street with some glass frontage to protect the hoards of tourists from touching the precious remains from over 2000 years ago.
The reality couldn’t have been more different. I know now that Pompeii is one of those underrated destinations.
Let me explain (more…)
Visiting European cities with kids, whatever their ages is exciting. While it is true that taking little children to grown up places can seem overwhelming, if you pick the right destination, the best activities (that both parents and kids will enjoy), everyone in the family will be happy.
I have two kids (they’re teenagers now – I get told off if I call them kids) but as a family of four who, before emigrating to New Zealand, used to live in the Uk, (when my kids were 7 and 10 ) we have spent a great deal of time exploring various cities throughout Europe and I think I can safely say which European cities are the best for kids.
I’m Liz, a lifestyle and travel blogger and this is my family. 2019 Update! Last year we finally did what we had talked about for sixteen years.
We took our two kids (teenagers) and backpacked around the world with them.
It was wonderful.
We slept on strangers couches, visited places that I’d only ever dreamed of, ate lots of noodles in Japan and argued about how much time the kids were spending on their phones.
We returned home to New Zealand in 2019 and decided that we would do everything in our power to live differently and to show others that whatever your dream you can make it a reality.
We have set out to create a lifestyle that will enable us to become location independent (as much as you can be when you own 5 sheep, a dog and a cat that is apparently going to live forever) so that we can continue to travel to far-reaching places around the world and pay for my son’s wifi.
We want YOU to be part of that journey. This ISN’T a blog with beautifully filtered Instagram stories, perfect parents and adorable kids.
No. This is real life. Brats and all.
That means me telling you that although your bits might wobble while you run to catch a train in Sri Lanka, who cares?! You are there! Living your dream!
And anyway, don’t worry…I sell baggy pants in my shop – they hide a multitude of sins.
Go to our start here page to find out more about us and I do hope you will join me on this quest for living outside of the box.
