Rome. It’s one of those cities that doesn’t just sit there waiting for you; it hits you the moment you land. I still remember dragging my suitcase across cobblestones, cursing my cheap wheels, and thinking, “Wait, people actually live like this? Among ruins older than my country?” The city is loud, chaotic, beautiful, overwhelming, and
Rome will get under your skin. You step out, and the streets smell like espresso and fresh bread. You turn a corner and there is a fountain. You blink and history is everywhere. Where you sleep matters. The right hotel saves time, protects your feet, and gives you a place to crash after a long
Rome is one of those cities that makes you feel tiny the second you step on its cobblestones. I swear the first time I dragged my suitcase through Centro Storico Rome, I nearly broke a wheel, tripped over a stone, and thought: “People actually live here?!” But that’s the magic. You’re walking through ruins, fountains,
Paris is a city you do not just visit. You feel it. Little things stick to your memory. A fresh croissant in the morning. A street musician under a lamppost. The Eiffel Tower glinting at night. But where you sleep shapes these moments. The right hotel makes a trip smooth. The wrong one makes you

Lisbon is not the kind of city that shouts at you. It sneaks in slowly. First, you see the yellow trams climbing steep hills. Then you smell grilled sardines. Then you notice the tiles shining in the sun. And just like that, the city has you. If you’ve got only 3 days in Lisbon, don’t
Paris isn’t just another city you visit and cross off a list. It’s the kind of place that sticks to you. Little by little. The smell of fresh bread in the morning, a laugh floating out of a café, the way the Eiffel Tower sparkles at night like it’s alive. That’s Paris. It doesn’t knock
If there’s one trip that’s stayed with me long after I returned, it’s my Chile itinerary adventure. I didn’t know what to anticipate when I headed out; it was just a dream of exploring mountains, deserts, wine regions, and oceans all in one place. And trust me, Chile lived up to my expectations. Along the
The Colosseum is the icon of Rome. It takes your brain a little time to keep up the first time you look at it – it is gigantic, battered, gorgeous, and yet still standing after nearly 2,000 years. And, as I said, you will think: What would I have given to be right next to
