Italy

We couldn't ask for a better place to eat all the pizza, pasta and gelato. the food in Italy is by far the best I've ever had (and I've been around). The country itself is breathtaking; the art that surrounds you is a constant reminder of the rich history that Italy holds, especially its impact in the art world. The Vatican, Venice, Florence, the Duomos, the countless museums and castles, and who can forget the ruins of Rome. There's just so much to see in so little time!

I took advantage of my days and visited every place I could. I grabbed a couple of my friends and we went to Rome, Cinque Terre, and my personal favorite, Florence. Firenze mi manchi!

A couple of Traveling tips:
-Trenitalia is the train system, it'll take you everywhere.
-Buses between Florence and Siena are only 6 Euros, GO!
-If you need to fly: Easyjet is the way to go.
-NEVER forget to stamp your train/bus tickets at the yellow box
