Florence
As someone who has studied, lived, worked, vacationed, and spent more time in Florence than in any other city in Europe, this guide has been a long-time coming.
One of the reasons we love it so much is that it's a perfect blend of art, architecture, history, and fashion— but what many may not know is that it's also quite modern.
We are firm believers that you can't romanticize the city's past, keeping it stuck in time, without also admiring its modern developments as well.
Why?
Not only does this make you a more mindful traveler, but it enables you to have a richer experience and understanding of where the city has been, how it has developed, and where it's headed.
In this guide, you'll receive 30 hand-picked recommendations for the modern traveler, including:
☕ 3 places to grab coffee
🍳 3 essential places to brunch
🍝 3 best places to grab lunch
🍴 3 incredible dining recommendations
🍷 3 places to enjoy aperitivo (Italian happy hour)
🥂 3 fun bars to grab a drink
🍦 2 quintessential gelaterias
🎨 3 under-the-radar activities to try
🛍️ 6 best indie shops
🏠 1 insane hotel recommendation

Bologna
Sicily
Cefalù is a coastal city in northern Sicily, Italy. It’s known for its Norman cathedral, a 12th-century fortress-like structure with elaborate Byzantine mosaics and soaring twin towers. It remains a popular beach vacation spot for Europeans. Don’t miss wandering down it’s charming streets and going for a hike on La Rocca!
🚊 50 mins by train from Palermo, Sicily

Welcome to our 4-day Sicily road trip guide!
You’ll receive:
- a car rental guide
- driving times to each city
- highlights and descriptions of each city
We’ll be visiting 6 cities:
📍Taromina
📍Syracusa
📍Noto
📍Modica
📍Ragusa
📍Agrigento
BONUS: 📍Palermo (since we are living in Palermo, it’s not part of our road trip itinerary, but we def think you should go, so we’ve added it at the end😊)
📖 Brief Summary: Sicily, the largest Mediterranean island, is just off the "toe" of Italy's "boot." Its rich history is reflected in sites like the Valley of the Temples, the well-preserved ruins of 7 monumental, Doric-style Greek temples, and in the Byzantine mosaics at the Cappella Palatina, a former royal chapel in capital city Palermo. On Sicily’s eastern edge is Mount Etna, one of Europe’s highest active volcanoes. (Source: Google)

An American (Liv) 🇺🇸 + A Brit (Jack) 🇬🇧 falling in love with the world.
Liv here!
At 23, I married my high school sweetheart, Jack. Our adventures have taken us to cities as big as London, England, and towns as remote as Modica, Sicily. We've lived, worked, and traveled all over Europe with a special focus on Italy, France, and the UK.
In August of last year, we decided to make Seattle our home base. It’s a city we grew to know and love after 5 years of annual visits.
Nowadays, we spend our days exploring Washington and traveling abroad— we’re always looking for our next adventure.
We specialize in modern, mindful travel guides, curated recommendations and custom itineraries and always try to incorporate:
- local experiences
- cultural mindfulness
- LGBTQ+, women, and minority-owned businesses
- social enterprises and mission-driven businesses
🗺️ Custom Itineraries: Tailor-made trips just for you.
📌 Curated Recommendations: Discover hidden gems and local favorites.
It would be an honor to help make your dream trip come true.
