Allie in Italia


Ciao bellas! I also recently traveled abroad for a family girls trip that included my mom, sister, grandma, aunt and cousin. The main place we went was Italy because, don’t let the blond hair and green eyes fool ya, but I’m Italian Our first stop was Venice- a place unlike anywhere else- we went to two islands, Murano the “glass-blowing island” and Burano the “lace island.” Next stop on our itinerary was Lake Como, a mountainous city on a beautiful lake. While staying in Lake Como, we took a spontaneous day trip to Lugano, Switzerland, and Switzerland was a pleasant surprise- we wanted to stay longer than a couple of hours and definitely plan to go back! The next day we took a train to the fashion capital of the world Milan- it was a cleaner and more historical New York City. From there, we went to Firenze (shout out to all our sisters studying abroad there- so jealous!). We took an amazing trip to 3 different cities (Sienna, San Gimignano where we tasted “World Champion” gelato, and Pisa where we were those tacky tourists trying to hold up the Leaning Tower) and had lunch at an organic farm/vineyard in Tuscany. Rome was the next stop, and we saw all the awesome sights- the Coliseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Vatican, etc. Our final stop was the City of Love- Paris France. Paris was a nice change of food and scenery, and the Eiffel Tower is literally one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Our trip was an amazing and one-of-a-kind experience filled with tons of memories and so much fun!
Love,
