48 hours in rome

Rome, you can love it or hate it but you can never call boring. We partnered up with Expedia Canada to highlight some of the great food spots we recently discovered in this bustling city.

Montepulciano

Thousands of photos Since returning to Canada I’ve been sorting through thousands of photos taken over the three months we were in Italy. I wanted to share some but it’s so difficult to pick just a few since I have many favourites. I’ve done my best to pick just ten.  This first one, of a […]

Civita di Bagnoregio: The town that is dying

January 23, 2015 by Nat & Tim 2 Comments

Civita di Bagnoregio

Civita Winding our way through the narrow streets of Bagnoregio, towards the old town I was blissfully unaware of what we were about to see. Nat said it would be a great surprise and to trust her, that I would love it. Squeezing out the other side of the small town I started to wonder […]

Where to stay in Italy

locanda dei poeti

Food, Culture & Beauty Italy, the word alone conjures up images of beautiful scenery and delicious food, but what about accommodations?  For every picture perfect scene there is a disappointing lodging situation.  We all know the saying, if it’s too good to be true… Of course if you’re trying to save money, a few nights […]

February 1, 2014 by Nat & Tim 1 Comment
