You see a photo and you just wish you can go to that place at that very moment. I saw this photo and it just looked so serene. I wish I could escape for a few days for some reading, reflecting and relaxation. Take me there now…

Roman Holiday
Rome was the last city on the European trip. All roads lead to Rome. We spent 2 days in Rome. We explored the city by night and saw the Pantheon, strolled the Piazza Novona, and saw the St. Peter’s Basilica twinkling at night. The next day we saw the beautiful Vatican and explored the Colosseum. We ate delicious pasta and pizza and treated ourselves to gelato and delicious tiramisu. Rome is such a beautiful city filled with rich art and impressive architecture. When in Rome…
arrivederci roma!
oh florence!
The Italian adventure continues. I spent one day in Florence and wandered around Piazza Santa Croce to the Piazza Della Signoria. In a short amount of time I saw the Statue of David, Basilica of Santa Croce, Gucci Museum, wandered the cute streets for leather goods and gold, and of course more gelato. Here is a glimpse of beautiful Florence…
Ciao Venice
Hello. Last week I started sharing my European adventures with you. We saw London, Paris, and a little bit of Switzerland. This week it’s all about Italy. Venice was a total love at first sight. You get to Venice via boat and when I saw Venice for the first time I just thought it was completely breathtaking. It’s really magical to see such a beautiful city via boat. Venice is all about small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. Here is a glimpse of beautiful Venice…
and then we ventured to Burano
Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon. The island is famous for lace and the colored houses. Legend has it that people in Burano painted their homes luminous colors so that the fishermen could see them even in the thick fog. This little island is so charming and is a must see. In every shop you will see Venetian masks and adorable little Pinocchio dolls.
Grüezi Switzerland
Guten Morgen! (Good Morning in German {Switzerland}. Switzerland has 3 languages {German, Italian, and French} and it varies depending on what part of Switzerland you are in. My European trip continues. We have been to London, Paris, and now we are in Lucerne, Switzerland. I loved Switzerland. It was so pretty and picturesque. The city is definitely a biking city. There are bicycles everywhere. I so wanted one of the cute ones with the brown leather seat and little cute basket and a little bell of course. In Switzerland it is all about chocolates, watches and mountains. Here is a little glimpse of Switzerland…
The next day we went to Stanserhorn Mountain. It was so amazing to go above the clouds and see the Swiss mountains from that high up. It was beyond gorgeous.
Next Stop Italy. I’ll be sharing pictures from Venice, Florence and Rome next week.
bonjour Paris
Paris is a romantic and magical city. Paris is known for its beautiful architecture and its decadent sweets. Our first night we sailed along the river Sienne and saw Paris at night. I love Paris at night. The city just sparkles. I loved sailing under the Paris bridges and seeing the beautifully lit architecture at night. Everywhere you turn you can see people along the water taking a stroll, dancing, and eating. Petite cafés bursting onto the sidewalks of the Parisian streets. Magical…
The next day was all about Crepes & Cafes and a visit to Notre Dame.
We strolled along the Sienne River. Visited the Love Locks Bridges starting at Paris’ point Zero.
Later that day we went to the Eiffel Tower and strolled along the Champs de Elysee
At night, we visited the Red Light District for Parisian Cabaret and I ended the night eating Macarons in my hotel room.
hello London
Hello my lovelies. I’ve missed you! I’m back from Europe. My trip was so magical. This trip was in celebration of my mom’s retirement. Congratulations to her and I’m so lucky to have been able to celebrate with her. I loved everything that I saw and the people I met. I’ll be sharing my trip with you city by city. London was the first city. I so loved London and I think I would say it’s one of my favorite cities I visited so far. I could so see myself living there. Here is a glimpse of my London…
I loved the signage. London had beautiful graphics all throughout the city. Our first night, we wandered through Carnaby Street and had a lovely dinner at Sketch.
The next day we explored more of the city…
And more London…
And then we boarded a boat to Paris…See you in Paris.
