Find the best of Italy with our Italy destinations travel guides. 

From the jaw-dropping scenery of the Dolomites in the north to the turquoise waters of Sicily and Puglia in the South, travel to Italy is more popular than ever. 

Italy is one of those destinations that you just have to visit at least once in your life. For the taste of that authentic pizza in Napoli or for that gondola ride in Venice or perhaps just for relaxing on the beach in Positano.

Each of Italy’s regions is truly unique and warrants a visit. The Dolomites are the perfect spot for mountain retreats, adventure and winter sports while Italy’s cities like Rome and Florence are centres of history, culture and art. Wherever you decide to go in Italy, you simply can’t go wrong. 

Anybody who has spent much time in Italy will have their favourite regions and cities and my current favourite is Puglia in Southern Italy. Still, much under the radar compared to other places in Italy, Puglia is a rich region full of incredibly picturesque whitewashed towns, brilliant wine and some of the best beaches in Italy. I highly encourage you to visit this beautiful area. Start with The Puglia Road Trip Itinerary: A 10 Day Puglia Itinerary Guide

Or perhaps you only have a weekend? Plan the perfect weekend in Venice. Venice One day Itinerary: The Best Things to Do

The more I read about food, diet and health online, the more confused I get. ‘Experts’ pushing diets and programs that aren’t based on any kind of scientific evidence, fad diets, opinions and then there are all the ‘scientific’ articles to get through. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have ever launched yourself into this world, researching what might be best for your health (which I’m pretty sure you have) then you might have also been left feeling confused and demotivated. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel that every 10 minutes someone’s talking about the best new way to eat and stay healthy. Of course not all of it is fiction but going through it all and even absorbing it kinda feels like a full time job. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are a few things that have helped me however when it comes to this diet and wellness overwhelm and I wanted to share them with you today. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Firstly our diet and what we eat is very personal. No one will know more about what works for you than you so don’t take on diets and programs just because other people are trying them out. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Secondly, just like the fashion industry has trends, the world of wellness and food is also beginning to see these trends. In the last 15 years so many fad diets and trends have surfaced only to be deeply buried again a few years later. These trends are just businesses that earn individuals a lot of money so be weary of them. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust what’s worked for humans for thousands of years. Before the invention of processed foods what did people eat? Just ask your grandparents what and how they ate. It’s this type of eating that has worked for human beings for thousands of years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If in doubt always circle back to natural, organic, fresh food that comes directly from the earth. ✨🙏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever felt overwhelmed when it comes to learning more about health and diet? What’s worked for you? 🙏🤗

Crisp winter walks in Alberobello. 

This is one of Puglia’s most visited towns, famous for its unique trullo architecture, these small dwellings go back centuries. 

I couldn’t help myself coming back in winter and exploring it all again. 

Have you heard about Alberobello? ✨

Welcome (back) to Puglia, Italy. 

So excited to be back in Puglia and making it my home base for the foreseeable future ✨ 

After visiting for the first time last year, I noticed there’s definitely something that keeps pulling me back here. I can’t wait to dive deep into some new projects here, both long and short term and take you all along with me. 

Being here in January can’t be more different compared to summer but I super impatient for more sun and to explore more.

Who has plans to visit the south of Italy in 2023?
