It’s finally time for my long-awaited travel guides for Italy!

In the coming weeks, I’m planning to share a travel guide to each city we visited during the trip, so be sure to stay tuned for each one. So many readers have asked on social media for me to do trip recaps because either you’re planning a trip to Italy or have already been yourself. Admittedly, it took me way longer to sift through all of my trip notes, photos, and videos to put these travel guides together, but I’m so excited to finally be able to share my trip experience with you! I started my trip to Italy in Pisa and spent 1 day there exploring because the flights were soooo much cheaper if I flew in a day early. It was definitely worthwhile because arriving a day early helped me cope with the jetlag and also start off the trip with some delicious meals and exploration.

Every time I travel back to the east coast, especially Philadelphia, I’m always blown away by how many of you are from there… I had no idea! (For the record, I absolutely love when you guys DM me on Instagram with tips on your hometowns… keep ’em coming!) I only lived there for 2 years, and admittedly, they weren’t the happiest years of my life because of some personal stuff I was sorting through. That being said, my best friend lives there which gives me reason to visit from time to time and I’ve actually developed a bit of a soft spot in my heart for one neighborhood in particular, Fishtown.

I lived just outside of Fishtown for a bit in Kensington, but those areas have really blended together over the past few years. While I was there last week, I was astounded by all the new super-cute boutiques and restaurants that have popped up while I was there and wanted to share with you my finds. If you’re planning a trip to Philly or just live there and want to find something new in your city, hopefully this travel guide overview will help!

In a little less than a month, I will be in Italy for an incredible styling workshop… and I need your help! Sean is going to meet me in Pisa, then we’re going to travel around Italy, so we need your recommendations on what to eat, see, and do while we’re there. We have reserved Airbnbs in Pisa, Florence, Como, and Venice so if you have recommendations for those specific areas, we’d love to know. Also, if you have any tips on how to get around, fun adventures (we’re trying to find a good sailing excursion during our time in Como), or anything a bit out of the ordinary, we’d be interested in those, too! It’s our first time traveling to Europe together and it’s going to be great. And, basically, I am just so excited to explore so much of this gorgeous, romantic country and eat allllll of the pasta.

Thanks!
