Italy
Italy; La Dolce Vita
Italy is often referred to La Dolce Vita, which means “The Good Life”! Italy has it all; beautiful people, known for the delicious food, spectacular landscapes, tremendous rich culture and many more. This is why Italy is a very popular holiday destination, not only for the European people, but from all over the world. Venice, Rome, Tuscany are very touristic places to visit. I went to Rome twice, but didn’t write a blog on that. I went to see the islands of Italy; Sardinia and Sicily. Blogs on Tuscany are coming up!
Both stunning and full of culture, Mediterranean landscapes, even a volcano and pastas and pizzas to dye for. Everybody that comes to Italy is enthusiastic, just like me! Check my travel blogs for inspirations and tips on how to travel these beautiful Italian Islands; Sardinia and Sicily. You can find my Instagram stories on both islands as well!
