After 10 days in Barcelona and Paris, we board a 3-hr flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Malta’s capital city: Valletta.
T in Transit VI: Florence
In early August, as we drive to Città di Castello, a town in Perugia, Italy, my friends tell me about their time in Florence. The highlight of their stay is Trattoria ZaZa and its Florentine Steak: Bistecca alla Fiorentina.

Wanderlust Wednesday #5
Hello everyone, As I write this, I imagine myself having lunch outside a nice little restaurant that overlooks the Aegean Sea. In my mind, this is what an afternoon in Santorini, Greece would look like. Santorini is actually part of a group of islands in the Aegean Sea that formed from several volcanic eruptions. In fact,Continue reading “Wanderlust Wednesday #5”
