Challenge Accepted!

Published 4 months ago • 2 min read

Hiya, travel bestie!

​

Can someone tell me how I've lived in Orlando (and been an annual passholder) for almost 20 years and never did the Four Parks in One Day Challenge? I recently checked the challenge off the bucket list and it was so much fun! See how it went and, if you're a fellow Disney Adult (or just love a good challenge) get some tips and tricks on how to do your own Four Parks Challenge!

Paris—the capital city of France, the City of Light, the land of croissants, the ultimate bucket list destination. But let’s be real: it’s also expensive. A trip to Paris can cost thousands of dollars between flights, accommodations, and daily expenses. However, what if I told you that you could go to Paris for free—or at least very close to it?

This Month's Book Club Pick

​Abroad in Japan by Chris Broad is an insightful, and sometimes chaotic deep dive into his life as a Brit navigating Japan. What started as a year-long teaching gig turned into a decade-long adventure filled with culture shocks, language fails, and plenty of konbini snacks.

While I am so, so, SO sad that the recent changes no longer qualify me for Italian citizenship by descent, I'm still Italy-obsessed and know you will be too once you check out these latest posts!

Spilling the tea! You may have heard me say that I am not a hostel girl. Nothing wrong with hostels, I just like my privacy, so they're not for me. But I'm also traveling on a budget, which is why I've fallen in love with this hotel chain. They're budget-friendly with fun social spaces, but I get my own room and bathroom (key for introverted travelers like me!)

Buonasera! When friends heard I was stopping in Pisa, they told me they'd heard it was overrated and there wasn't much to do. And they were wrong! This Tuscan city is charming, and there's plenty to do to fill a day! Pro tip: don't forget the gelato!

Buongiorno! Well, I did it. I took my year of Italian language learning on vacation to Italy. And while I was there, I took in-person Italian lessons to level up my speaking skills.
