Nicole in Umbria & Tuscany | Guest Review

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...

Hand of Fatima | Little Things I Love About

I have seen the Hand of Fatima, or Hamsa, many times before. But didn’t know the meaning of it or history. Fatima was the prophet Mohammed’s daughter and it is said that when you put the symbol of her hand on your door, or anywhere else, it does the same thing that the Greeks and...

The cobblestone streets of Stroncone | Italy Destination Highlight

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...

Kurnsulu Waterfalls – Antalya | Turkey Destination Highlight

I’m not sure what I love more about the Kurnsulu Waterfalls – the actual gorgeous waterfalls themselves, the tranquil grounds surrounding them, or the local lady who makes the best gozleme and ayran that I get for lunch after the walk around the park & falls! Either way,...

Jeanie in Turkey | Guests Review

When my best friend from Vancouver told me her and her man were going to join me on my first Travel Experience to Turkey, I was thrilled! We were on a biblical itinerary but it was filled with so much culture and history that it was just as enjoyable for someone who wasn’t in...

La dolce far niente – Italy | Little Things I Love About

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...

5 Things I love about Fes | Morocco Destination Highlights

Fes is such an incredible city. It’s got more than 12,000 streets in it’s old medina and is oozing with so much cultural and color. Staying here for at least a few days is a MUST when in Morocco. One thing I love about Fes, is the food souk, where the locals shop. Fresh fruits...
