The Lights Are All Red Around Here

When you think about Amsterdam, what comes to mind?

For me I think of the small, teetering Dr. Suess houses, the beautiful canals, the streets being overrun with bicycles… and pot, or marijuana, that also comes to mind.

But my mind never immediately jumps to the Red Light District or, De Wallen, as the locals know it. Despite spending much of my time in the Red Light District during my first and second trip to Amsterdam, where I was staying in the popular Bulldog Hostel, it is not the memory of the city I jump to first.

Recent Discoveries: Travel Blog Edition

Since I started this blog five months ago, I have learned so much about the blogging world, specifically the travel-blogging community.

I have become a regular social media user (Instagram and Twitter I’m looking at you), and have continued to find my niche, or voice, as I work away on my little corner of the internet.

What to see in Sardinia

The first thing I learned about Sardinia is just how big the island actually is.

If you’re like me, when you think of an island, you might imagine an area that is small – this in no way describes Sardinia. This place is huge! With approximately 2,000km of coastline and the drive from north to south taking hours, you’d need much longer than two weeks to really explore and get a feel for all the island has to offer.

Three Tips for Travelling in a Pack

I have been very blessed over the past few weeks to have numerous guests join Andy and I on our travels. Some have been planning their journey for months, while others found a break in their schedule and thought, “why not?!”

We dined like kings in Italy with my almost-in-laws, road-tripped around Sardinia with my friend Emma, explored Paris with my mother (her 1st time in the City of Light), and drank far too much beer with our globetrotting friend Kerri in Belgium. The memories that were made will last a lifetime, and the stories that can be told, well, many will be kept within the pack.

But is travelling alone easier than travelling in a group?

There’s Always Next Time: Italy

It would take a lifetime to see and experience all that Italy has to offer. From the north to the south, the coastline to the interior, from the prehistoric Nuraghic ruins to the Roman empire, Italy is a traveller’s dream.

That being said, after my second visit to Italy, it is no surprise I am already looking forward to my next trip. Hopefully, the stars align at some point in life and I will have another chance to experience the beauty, diversity, and history that is this amazing country.
