pisa, italy While traveling from Florence to Cinque Terre, I made a slight pitstop in Pisa to, of course, see the Leaning Tower. It was a very short stop, so when I say a few hours , I mean a few hours. Pisa is small. Much smaller than Verona, I think. And when I say small, I mean it in a tourist sort of way. The main “tourist” part of…
florence, italy Hello Florence! I finally made it to Florence, which is really exciting because it was a city I was supposed to visit my first time in Europe, but unfortunately never got around to going to because of an unfortunate incident that occurred prior in my trip that forced me to go straight to Rome from Venice. So I made it a priority to go to it this time around.…
venice, italy I finally made it back to Venice! I absolutely love this beautiful city on the water. It’s just so dreamy and extremely photogenic! I can’t really describe it’s beauty in words; you just have to see it for yourself. Though, I think it’s because it’s a city built on and around water that makes it so lovely. Venice is especially so because all of the quaint little buildings…
verona, italy Since I was traveling from Lake Como to Venice, my travel mate and I decided to make a stop in Verona along the way. The only thing that I really wanted to see in Verona was Juliet’s balcony, so we figured we’d take advantage of our rail passes and make a stop there before continuing on to Venice. My oh my was Verona quite lovely! The train station was just…
lake como, italy Since I began my trip in Milan, I decided to head up to the lakes before making my way East to Venice. From all the photos I had seen online, the Lake Como areas was simply stunning. I decided to stay in a little town called Bellagio, the “crown jewel” of Lake Como, the central town within the golden triangle of Lake Como. Bellagio is a very…
milan, italy Hello from Italy! I know it seems like I just returned home a few days ago from my 3-month long trip through Southeast Asia, but I’m off again, this time to Italy, Spain and France. I touched down in Milan on the first, beginning my month long journey through Italy. I honestly feel like I started this trip a bit unprepared, especially in terms of having a clear…
hong kong Not much of a photo diary, but after Thailand, John and I hopped on a plane to Hong Kong for Christmas. There was so much to see and do and such little time that I didn’t really take that many photos in Hong Kong and the ones that I did didn’t come out so great. Plus, towards the end of our long trip, I kind of got a…
chiang mai, thailand Chiang Mai was a nice break from Bangkok. We went up on an overnight train for a weekend before heading to Hong Kong, and while I wasn’t feeling too well (I had an allergic reaction to something, I don’t actually know what it was, but that’s another story entirely) I still managed to enjoy my time there. Chiang Mai is very small. We were able to walk from…
ayutthaya, thailand While staying in Bangkok, we decided to do a day trip to the city of Ayutthaya and visit all of the ancient temples there. We contemplated doing the trip on our own, but instead booked a small group tour from our hostel for a full day tour of the temples of Ayutthaya with an English-speaking guide, lunch included for 800 Baht each. The tour was great. We had to…
bangkok, thailand After a really long trip by ferry and bus, we made it to Bangkok. The bus we were on left us somewhere in central Bangkok and after an hour or so of trying to find a reasonable taxi to Hua Lamphong, we made it to our hostel, @Hua Lamphong, only to realize that we didn’t have a room booked for that night. When we initially planned the trip, we…
phuket, thailand We finally made it to Thailand! From Penang, we flew into Phuket, an island on the west coast of Thailand. We only stood in Phuket for a couple of days and used it as a home base for the famous Phi Phi Islands. We stood in Karon Beach on Phuket, which was very nice and probably a much better choice instead of touristy Patong Beach. Karon was quiet and pretty…
kuala lumpur, malaysia We visited KL for a few days in order to travel through from Singapore to Thailand. KL is a fair city. We were only there for about three days and really didn’t do very much. We ended up taking a really nice Aeroline bus from the Harbourfront in Singapore to KLCC. One first impression, I thought KL was the fusion of Jakarta and Singapore. Like if Jakarta and…
