She munched on a bag of granola while she read out of a tattered paperback and leaned on her well-loved backpack. She was a girl after my…

In Rome there was Pasta and Wine When I think back to the time I spent in Rome I think of the food and the wine, and I think of the three guys I was traveling with. Too smart for their own good, their back-and-forth banter was like a high stake’s contest where cleverest comment wins….

Southern Italy and the Perfect Pizza Do you know what I love? Traveling. Ok, you’re not shocked in the slightest. This IS a travel blog after all.
