AMAZED BY FLORENCE

ITALY - SURPRISED BY ROME AMAZED BY FLORENCE

Italy is a dream destination for most people, many of its cities have different scenarios and specifics to look forward to, like Milan, Venice, etc. Before visiting, I discovered through research that Rome is the most beautiful city in the world. My mainstay was in Rome but I also visited Florence to experience first-hand how life in Florence is compared to Rome. To get to Florence, you can travel by plane or take the train. It is a four hours’ train ride away from Rome if you use the slower, cheaper train at almost 50€, or the faster train at under two hours for almost double the price. Keep reading and I will disclose to you the reasons for my title, Italy – surprised by Rome Amazed by Florence.

Why Not visit Chisinau Moldova!?

WHY NOT VISIT CHISINAU MOLDOVA!?

Why not visit Chisinau Moldova!?  This is my question to many.  I have been asked the same rather weird question by many people, why are you going to Moldova or where is it?  In transiting through another European country, the Immigration Officer said to me “what’s in Moldova why are you going there?” His female colleague also agreed with his sentiments, then she said to be sure to try the Bucuria (chocolate candies).  I quickly jotted down the name, because, for this recommendation from another country, I thought…it must be good, the male officer also concurred.
