Introverts Guide To Travel.

12 Nov 2016

Resfeber (n.) the nervous feeling before undertaking a journey; the restless race of a traveller’s heart before the journey begins, when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together.

As with any adventure, planning becomes an essential part of the journey. You know how it is, the nitty-gritty part of travel – the details, selecting a destination or accommodation and the uncertainty that follows.

However, if you’re an introvert, you know that sometimes the nitty-gritty is a safe haven of comfort.

If you’ve travelled the world, or hardly travelled at all – these tips are a must read before your next adventure.

Eating around Italy

23 Jun 2023

One of the main reasons to go to Italy is to try all the drool-worthy food in every city you visit. 

From the fresh homemade pasta in Rome to the incred meat in Florence, there’s a TONNE of options to choose from.  

But with so many choices, it can sometimes be overwhelming to figure out where to start. 

For me, I found it best to narrow down by the culinary dish that is most synonymous with the city or town I was in.  

That way, you’re not only getting the freshest seasonal food, but the tastiest as well. AND, each lovingly made dish is obvs created with local ingredients found in that region. It is bella Italia after all.

Below are some of the best places I’ve eaten at on the Delve Deep: Italy trip.
