The Spanish Steps. Everyone puts them on their bucket list when visiting Rome. I had wanted to visit them my first time in Rome – but I had but an afternoon to see a few things so put it off. It wasn’t until 9 years later did I finally see them with my daughter last...

There is this beautiful, quaint part of Rome called Trastevere. I had heard about it from a friend who had lived there for a few years when she was based in Rome…I had seen it on “the ‘gram”. And I had my daughter with me on the trip so, of course, we were...

Spoleto is one of my favorite places to wander indeed. From overlooking city and church, to walking the cobblestone streets and window shopping, there is an endless supply of things to look at in awe. I love getting “lost” in a city…through the commercial shops...

On my very first Follow Your Heart Travel Experience, we went to Italy. And to my delight my father (and mother) joined that trip! My dad is the reason I do a lot of what I do today. No, not cuz he was involved in the process of MAKING me, which is true. But in the reason that it...

What is that, you say? Glad you asked. 🙂 Clothes hung out to dry in Italy…well that’s what Google translate tells me at least. 😉 I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing the laundry being hung out to dry in Italy…I’m not sure why. When I travel and don’t see any...

Nicole was just getting into photography when she came on our first Travel Experience to Italy in 2010. It was so awesome to see her capture the world around her as we traveled through the rolling hills of Tuscany and wandered the medieval towns of Umbria. I follow her today on...

It’s a quiet walled commune in Umbria. I would never have know about it had not my Italian brother and FYH Italy team Max and his family live just outside the walls, overlooking hills of olive trees.   When I say small, I mean population just over 4800. The younger...

The first time I heard this Italian phrase was by my Italian brother and FYH Italy team, Max. We were in Cortona and we were eating some gelato on the stairs, watching the people pass by. He had said, “You from North America…you are always so “crazy busy” as you say…you need to...
