I love to travel solo, take photos and eat! I don't get to do it often enough but when I do I talk about it here.
Finally writing up my trip in 2019 It is about 8 hours by train from Bologna to Ostuni. So a rest day to watch the world go by. A lot of it was by the coast and quite glorious. Ostuni is a hilltop town, its train station at the bottom but a quick taxi ride... Continue Reading →
Finally writing up my trip from 2019 Paris done and dusted. Now an early start, a station pastry and a long day of train travel. The rest of my trip is to Southern Italy, but since I don't fly mid trip, a stop in Bologna made perfect sense. I was in Bologna in 2018 and... Continue Reading →
Finally writing up my 2019 trip My last full day in Paris and my only real bucket list tourist hot spot thing of this trip. Giverny. I love Monet, I visited the Musée de l'Orangerie in 2014 and marveled at the wrap around water lilies so this was the one thing I wanted to do... Continue Reading →
Finally writing up my 2019 trip My third day in Paris started as any other day, with a trip on the metro. This time to Arenes de Lutece. I had visited in 2014 and found it such a beautiful peaceful oasis in this busy city and wanted to stop by again. I had plans later... Continue Reading →
This was my second trip to Paris. In 2014 I visited Europe for the first time, and Paris was my first stop. I researched. I had lists. I ticked off those lists like the completion freak I am. I had a great time but I hadn't really stopped to smell the roses enough and I... Continue Reading →

Or days, as the case may be. I live a couple of hours from my nearest international airport. Our train service makes me weep every... Continue Reading →

I had a 10pm flight home, so really another whole day to fill. Being in a hostel with luggage storage it was no difficulty to check out and just have them hold my luggage for the day while I was out and about. I had toyed with ideas of leaving the city for a day... Continue Reading →
My third day in Barcelona, and 23rd of my trip, started with nothing planned. I had a few ideas but my visit to the Sagrada was the last big ticket item on my itinerary and now I was winding down, and tired. After a sleep in I decided to see one more Gaudi. Not far... Continue Reading →
The fourth and last walking food tour of my trip was on my second night in Barcelona. It was the Devour Barcelona Tapas, Taverns & History tour. The tour centered on the Gothic quarter. The group met our guide and were given a little history of the area as we walked to our first stop.... Continue Reading →
