Yes you read that correctly, I recently got engaged in Italy, to an amazing Sardinian man! Everything about this has seemed incredibly fateful and part of the universe’s plan for me, and it’s one of my favorite travel stories yet, so I decided to write it out! *I am working on an extended mini-book with more details but for now here’s our story: The...
Going to Lake Como in winter was honestly a very random decision. Especially since I am not a fan of cold weather. However I suddenly had also random plans to spend NYE in Switzerland, and my birthday was a few days later, so I thought it would be fab to spend it in Lake Como. Despite many people warning me that many things are closed in the winter, I went anyway...
Summer in Sardinia must include a Sailboat Trip to La Maddalena Island. Image Copyright @mylifesatravelmovie 2024 UPDATE: I am currently LIVING in Sardinia for the summer because I actually ended up continuing to talk to the winery owner I mentioned in the post…and we are now engaged! Check out this rom-com esque story about How I Got Engaged in Italy! And if...
If you think literally everyone is in Amalfi Coast this summer, you are correct. I was one of them and I both loved and hated it at the same time. For the record, summer is HIGH season, which means lots of crowds and lots of heat. I only went during high season because it was after a work trip, and would actually suggest not going in peak summer, and waiting for...
If you’re thinking about planning a trip to the iconic colored-building cluttered cliffsides of Italy’s Cinque Terre in the Liguria region, there’s probably a few questions you’re itching to figure out! Where are the best areas for photos? Where should you stay? Why did I also mention Liguria? How in the heck do you even pronounce the name Cinque Terre? These were...
Before traveling to another country, I always make it a point to learn some of the basic words and phrases in the native language there. Not only does that help me out as a traveler, but it shows respect to the locals, which can help you out immensely as well! During a recent trip and project I was doing though, I wanted to learn more than just basic phrases. The...

I’ve gone to Jordan, Egypt, and Morocco by myself to visually show that it’s Ok for a...
We've all noticed that some countries were more Instagramable than others in 2016, so I asked my favorite 'grammers what they thought those were!
One thing I’ve learned from traveling is that you can research the shit out of a place for days, but there’s a good chance you’ll only find the typical, “tourist things to do” in the most popular places. Well, I don’t really like ” typical tourist things to do”, and I don’t think you do either. So that’s why...
Have you ever traveled to certain countries that you just couldn’t help but notice how attractive the people were? Or do you have an attraction for certain features that are relative to certain countries? I mean, you have to notice that some countries are pretty much stereotyped for having hot people, right? Otherwise people wouldn’t have a...
