This round of Travel Roulette is being hosted by Skinny Backpacker and his theme is “Surreal”. I really wish I had something more creative and dream like, something with fun shadows and colors. But, atlas, I am going for something a bit more literal. I chose this picture, because I can’t believe that not only [...]
I am not kidding, I visited an ancient manuscripts library in Montefalco recently on a blog trip. I was a guest of Umbria on the blog and the region of Umbria and we stopped in Montefalco for a few hours before heading to the Arnaldo-Caprai winner for lunch and wine tasting. These books are as [...]

I never thought of England having windmills. Recently I adventured to the Norfolk Broads with some friends and decided to research the area to see what there was to do. Well, needless to say, there was next to nothing! However, to my surprise, the area did offer a few windmills. So I insisted on venturing [...]

Markets and Photography seem to go hand in hand. At least inside my head! I love the colors and the smells and atmosphere of fresh food markets. I was recently in Rome and thanks to House Trip for hosting me in Rome, and Context Travel for arranging our market tour followed by our cooking lesson [...]
This weeks theme, Evening, is hosted by Sam & Sarah at Travel Food Bliss. My image was taken in Perugia, Italy; just before dinner as the sun was slowly setting. Taken in April 2012 while attending the Travel Bloggers Unite Conference held in Umbria, Italy. Follow my pin trail on uencounter.me !
Rome is a big busy city. Full of important people, university students, the girl next door. You get the idea. But what makes this city stand out, is it’s history. Yes, all cities have a history, but Rome has ruins spread through their city. Ruins that date back to civilizations most of us know little [...]
What better way to see Italy then on a Vespa? This was not something I set out on a mission to do, it wasn’t something on a bucket list or a dream of mine. However, I managed two rides in Italy! One, a vintage Vespa evening tour through the city of Rome and the second, [...]
