Italy
To me, Italy is just one of those places on Earth that makes me happy just thinking about it. I have been fortunate enough to travel through Italy a couple of times and each time, my passion for Italian everything (culture, food, and language) grows stronger! Here are some of my favorite destinations in Italy to travel to!
Rome
The Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, Vatican Museums, Pantheon, and St. Peter's Basilica
Florence
Uffizi Gallery, the David statue, the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Piazza della Signoria, and Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Venice
St. Mark's Square, Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge, and Bridge of Sighs
Cortona
Accademia Etrusca, Villa Bramasole (from the book Under the Tuscan Sun), Santa Margherita (Cortona), and the Church of St. Nicholas

-
This is a random tip but a fun thing that I have started doing is to buy a special item (like a perfume) on each trip that I go on so that when I smell that perfume, I am instantly reminded of that trip. I did this when I went on my big European trip with my mom and even now (2 years later) when I smell my perfume, I am transported back to Cortona!
