Day 9 brought us to another one night stop, Florence. But first we had a little stop to see the Leaning Tower and take touristy photos. But when we arrived in Florence, we went out for a nice dinner and ran into another Contiki group. I got so see my friend Dayzee I met the first night before to…

This trip was my first spring break trip as well as my first time out of the country. This was a study aboard trip which I went with 13 females and 1 male but was so independent that it didn't feel like a school trip. I spend a day and a half in Rome and Vatican City and the rest of the trip in Tuscany/Umbria. Although this trip was an appetizer like my professor like to say, it was amazing and I left with 14 new travel buddies. MORE PHOTOS TO COME

We all had preconcieved notions of Florence but not very many of them were fufilled unfortunately. The home of the Renaissance wasn't particularly beautiful and every other building was a hotel which was unbelieveably annoying. We never did make it to see David which may have contributed. We got th…

12 days from Napoli to Milano...

After receiving my Bachelor's degree, I went on a Contiki tour for 14 days and 8 countries! It was a little fast but we were able to add a few additional days on in Paris at the end. Contiki is so much fun because it is only for 18-35 year olds. Everyone had a great time and I've actually made lifelong friends!

Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine... 6500km

fantastic trip around the med on p&o oceana. a sample of lovely places to decide if we want to go back..which we do on nearly all. Rome was amazing and could do with a month to see all the delights. Monaco was rich!would spend more time there in the shops.

The train ride from Rome to Florence is fairly quick and the trains are nice in Italy, but the best part of the train ride is the view of Tuscan countryside.  Villas perched on top of rolling hills wich overlook vineyards are the norm in this part of Italy.  It was a completly different f…

Rome – centre of the ancient world.  Capital of Italy.  City of culture, history and ice cream.  This was one of the places I’ve always wanted to go ever since reading Asterix books as a kid.  And it doesn’t disappoint.  Everywhere you go there are ruins that in any …

blablabla

Im in Florence now and met up with Tai this morning.  When we were getting ready to head out I ran into one of the Australians I had met in Rome so he joined us and the three of us went for a quick tour of Florence with Tai.  It seems like a pretty nice city, but it is expensive here.&nbs…

In the summer of 2006 myself and 4 of my friends flew from Toronto to London to experience what was at the time the worlds greatest road trip

i've finally managed to escape the oh-so-fascinating world of hedge fund finance, and am now decadently indulging my long-suppressed wanderlust with 15 months on the road and around the world... *note: apart from the odd review (generally of something not found in your standard guide book), this is really more just a map of my travels than a proper blog, but if you want more information on anywhere i`ve been or what i`ve been up to, send me a message and i`ll see if i can rustle something up.

Well what is naturally the first thing you do when you get to Florence, of course you look for some grass so you can lie down and sleep That was the plan at least for me, Jolie, Sam and SallyI guess we committed the cardinal sin of travel and really didn't take advantage of Florence, however there'…
