So, if you want to bring electronics, like phone, ipod etc, make sure you have a socket adapter. Most of the electrical outlets are very different from our normal ones in the USA. I found a little solar powered device by a company called solio. Not only does the battery get charged by solar panel…

There is a direct flight from Schiphol to Florence. Okay, so the flight itself isn't cheap, (about £100 with taxes) but at least you land in Florence itself rather than having to get the train from Pisa.

If you are going to Rome, it is good to know that the area around the train station is cheap for food and lodging, but it can be somewhat unsafe. There are a large number of unemployed people and transients who hang out in that area, and they usually will not bother you, but muggings do occur.If p…

I spent my year abroad there last year. It is quite small however do not let its size fool you. Piazza Duomo is simply beautiful. Some of the buildings are covered in medieval frescos. Mix that with a neoclassic fountain and small cafés and you have a small paradise. The castle (Castello Buonconsig…

There are certain people that can con you for your valuable money! 1 of the scam artists are those that ask to you see your finger, tie a string around your finger and ask for money after their "work/scam" is done. They make a lot of money from scamming tourists like this. Please beware!!!

Visit the churches (Bacilica) in Florence - they are just as intersting as the museums.
I would recommend that you visit Basilica di Santa Maria Novella with the Cappella de Flilppo Strozzi on Piazza di Santa Matia Novella - it is just a beautiful church! Bacilica di San Lorenzo is also worth…

Rome is cool because you can walk almost anywhere and see tons of interesting sites along the way, but it is also not cool in that each path you take is like an obstacle course in which you have to dodge strategically positioned piles of dog droppings. They're literally everywhere, and n…

Airport: Rome Ciampino (CIA)
Location: About 15km south of Roma and is a bloody nightmare to get too. To get to centre of Rome, you need to get a bus from outside the arrivals hall and then this will take you to the nearest metro station, which from there you need to buy a metro ticket from the…
