We took a day trip from Bologna to Ferrera since it’s only a 30 minute train ride away. Ferrera definitely had that small town feel. Not as many people spoke English. Hardly any tourists. Good food. It was a nice stop. Estense Castle This medieval castle in the middle of Ferrera is surrounded by a…

Bologna, Italy
After Milan we headed to Bologna for three days. Bologna is a more mid-sized city and it’s a university town so there were a lot of young college students around which made it feel very lively all day. Bologna also has a lot of shopping, restaurants, and bars. It has medieval and Renaissance structures like…
Milan, Italy
Hello! I’m very happy to be traveling again after taking some time off to get adjusted to my life in Denver. I recently went to Italy for 10 days with my friend Tori. We spent time in the northern part of Italy visiting Milan, Bologna, Parma, and then I did a day trip to Lake…
Australia Week Five Recap
Hello! Welcome to my last and final post from my trip to Australia and abroad (for now)! I spent my last week in the Bondi beach neighborhood in an Airbnb. I went to an Australian Football League game, walked around the markets at Manly beach, and met up with friends from prior trips. I was…
Bondi Beach, Australia
During my last week in Australia I got an Airbnb near Bondi Beach so I could check out another area of Sydney. I loved my time here! My trip was coming to an end and I had no more travel plans, so I spent the week relaxing and walking the beach paths around this area….
Outback, Australia

The majority of Australia is desert so I felt strongly about visiting while I was in this part of the world even though it’s way off the beaten path. Unlike the US where people live throughout the entire…
Australia Week Four Recap
Jervis Bay To get out of the city for a weekend Clare, her boyfriend Geoff, and I drove to the small beach town of Jervis Bay and spent the weekend in an Airbnb. We went stand-up paddle boarding, swam in the ocean, and walked around the neighborhood. The water in Jervis Bay was so clear…
Taronga Zoo, Australia
One of my favorite things that I did in Sydney was go to the zoo! Of note, this is not the Australia Zoo that the Irwin family runs (you know Steve Irwin). That zoo is outside of Brisbane in Queensland. I make this distinction because I accidentally bought a ticket for the Australia Zoo ahead…
Australia Week Three Recap
Hello! I know I’m very late posting my pictures from the end of my Australia trip. It was hard to keep up with posting once I got to Sydney since I have a friend in the area and I didn’t have as much free time as I imagined. She put together the most amazing itinerary…
Australia Week Two Recap
Hello from week two! The weather in far north Queensland was so hot and humid, and it’s not even peak summer. I would hate to be here in January! The first 5 days of the week I was still on an organized tour exploring Port Douglas and the Daintree rainforest. Then for the rest of…
