10 Day Italy Itinerary: Rome, Florence, Venice

I had a dream the other night that I was floating down a marinara river in a pasta boat, in search of gelato. It's safe to say I ate my way (deliciously) through Italy. This is only my second time to Italy (you can see my northern Italy trip here) but I know that I'll be back again and again, even if it's just for the cheap and decadent ice cream. I am SO glad we planned out the trip the way we … [Read more...] about 10 Day Italy Itinerary: Rome, Florence, Venice

Getting Lost in Venice

It's 8:45 pm and every restaurant is spilling with people out the door. We walk around from Ristorante to Osteria and can't find a place without a 30 minute wait. We shouldn't be shocked. It's Saturday night and everyone and their dog (literally) is out to eat. Our stomachs rumble as we smell fried fish and watch as luscious iced aperitivos pass by on trays. I Google "nearby restaurants" and we … [Read more...] about Getting Lost in Venice

8 Day Northern Italy and French Riviera Itinerary

16 cities, 3 countries, all in 8 days. I traveled through Northern Italy down to the coast of Monaco and France this past week. It may sound like a lot (okay, it was) but itwas one of my favorite trips I've taken so far. It's easy to see so many different landscapes: from the crystal blue waters of the Cote D'Azur, to the hills of Provence, there is plenty to see and do, or you can just relax on … [Read more...] about 8 Day Northern Italy and French Riviera Itinerary

How to Plan for a Trip to Europe

You guys!! I am going to Italy and the South of France for the very first time. I am so excited I could spit. In fact, I might have while typing that out. While I've been to France, I've never been to it's southern part and never stepped foot in Italy. The plan is to drive from Heidelberg to Milan and then head to south to Cannes and Nice. While this is very exciting, it also means we did some … [Read more...] about How to Plan for a Trip to Europe

How Traveling Teaches You To Fall In Love

I have been living in Germany for almost 2 months now. It's been an experience to say the least. From my Instagram and even on the blog, it might seem like I'm living a carefree time. It hasn't been that easy, but it has opened my eyes in a completely new way. Immersing myself in this culture and country has helped illuminate our similarities and differences.  It's taught me that we are not that … [Read more...] about How Traveling Teaches You To Fall In Love

Travel Tuesday #4: Italy

I can't take credit for today's post.  I have actually never been to Italy before. But my 18 year old twin sisters got to go for Spring Break. Hey Parents, why did I not get to do this?! Excuse me? Rude! Louise is on the left, twin sis on the right. I am the middle.  Ok, now that I have that out of my system, allow me to introduce you to my very awesome little sister, Louise. … [Read more...] about Travel Tuesday #4: Italy

  • On the edge of Europe! 🌊 When we planned our trip to Ireland we thought it would be too scary to drive and that we'd just take day trips from Dublin. I can't tell you how happy I am that we changed our minds at the last minute. I'm convinced that driving around Ireland is the best way to see it. Sometimes you gotta just take the risk! #heleneloveseurope #travelinbetween

  • That right there is a double rainbow. In Ireland. Just my luck 🌈🌈☘️🇮🇪 We are driving around but our drive is taking double as long as the expected time because we keep pulling off on the side of the road to snap pics 😂😍🙌🏻 #heleneloveseurope #travelinbetween
  • CHANGE OF PLANS! At the last minute (last night) Michael and I decided to ditch Dublin and rent a car and drive around Ireland. We've seen 3 castles and ate dinner on the coast. I'm not mad about it but I am worried that we will die while driving on the wrong side of the road. #prayforus #helenetravels

  • 👫The last time Michael and I were in Ireland together we were 18 years old. I convinced my parents that my boyfriend should come on their study abroad trip to London and Ireland (as professors they took students every summer for 6 weeks). Michael and I snuck off for a hike and decided l, even at that young age, that we 1. Should probably be together forever and 2. Needed to make travel a regular thing. Well kids, I think you got what you wished for 😍 #helenetravels #travelinbetween
