The leaves have changed to beautiful colors, and the cool mountain temperatures make all the walking and exploring you’ll do nice and comfortable!

The Ultimate Guide to Taormina, Sicily
Taormina, Sicily…where do we even begin? We’re not sure what comes to your mind when you think of Sicily, but Taormina exceeded all of those expectations. You can see Mount Etna from all angles of the city. From the food, to the people, to the views it was truly spectacular! To get to Taormina, you must fly into the Catania airport which is located about 1 hour away. You have the option to take a bus, train, or rent a car from the airport. As of now there is currently no Uber in Taormina, so don’t bet on that as a ride option. We opted to rent a car and…

Top 10 Things to do in Prague, Czech Republic for 20-Somethings
If you’ve ever wanted to visit Prague, I can’t say enough great things about it! Harry went about a month ago, and I just left. It superseded both of our expectations. The Czech Republic is not only beautiful, but very affordable for Americans because the exchange rate is so low. We definitely recommend that you stay in the area known as, “Prague 1.” It’s located in the center of the city, and you can walk to everything on this list. Below are a list of “Must-Do’s” for 20-somethings visiting this beautiful place! Walk along St. Charles Bridge to Old Town Square One of Prague’s most famous landmarks is St. Charles…

3 Days in Okrug, Croatia Itinerary
Lauren embarked on a 10 day girls’ Eurotrip with Harry’s mum and sister. Before we began our journey, we met in London to pick up Harry’s sister, Becky. As mentioned in an earlier post, she studied abroad at Oxford University. Harry’s mom and I took the Tube, London’s train system, from London Heathrow Airport to Kings Cross Station. After picking up Becky, we took the Gatwick Express train to Gatwick Airport and stayed the night at the Travelodge airport hotel. We found that the hotel room was lacking things such as soap, and our air conditioning had broken during the night. At the time, London was experiencing a heatwave which made this…
