Paris, J'Adore! || Part 1

Bonjour from a cold and dreary Paris.

I guess the weather was too good to be true until now!I'm sitting here in my little Parisian apartment with a bag of candy by my side (surprise surprise) and some good ol' Backstreet Boys playing in the background (don't hate).

Florence + Venice

Good morning!

Writing to you from the train en route to Paris which means I'm officially done with the Italian portion of my trip... Sad face. 

After leaving Rome on Wednesday, I headed to Florence for a few days. Despite being in Italy for nearly two weeks at that point, it was my first time actually being alone and to be honest, it kind of felt weird.

When in Rome...

 

Buongiorno!

I'm still alive and haven't eaten myself into a carb or gelato coma yet...Yay me! Dang, I may have just jinxed it. 

I'm currently perched up on my bed in Florence after an afternoon trip to Pisa, figured now's a good time to fill you all in on my Rome adventures... You know, before old age memory kicks in and I just have to resort to making up stories.

Buongiorno da Amalfi Coast!

I made it!!!

Despite my trip getting off to a rough start (German TSA chucked the maple syrup bottle from my carry on citing it wasn't "sealed properly"...BULL!!!), it's been amazing since!

The first week of my Euro-romp was a weeklong tour of the Amalfi Coast with G Adventures; the only tour portion of my trip. Not a bad way to start, eh?

And so it begins...

Let me just keep it real for a minute.

Ever sit at your computer, working away at your 'To-Do list' and find yourself drifting in and out of daydreams...all of which seem to include airplanes, foreign countries and a whole lot of wandering?

Yeah...me too.
