Planning a Trip to Rome
I am currently planning a trip to Italy for July 2025 with my sister and her family. This will be my third time to Rome and I am so excited! Since I have been a couple of times, I want to share how I plan my trip to Rome.
Chicago: Out and Back in 12 hours
To save money and be able to travel more, I am doing more "out and back" trips, where you leave early in the morning and fly to a different city, spend they day exploring, then fly back home that night. Recently, my sister and I did an out and back trip to Chicago, Illinois. This was the perfect day trip as it was only an hour and half flight from Nashville.

Pros and Cons of Using a Mobile Hotspot for International Travel
Using your cell phone provider's international data plan can be expensive and not the best option to stay connected. A mobile hotspot can be more cost effective and offer a more reliable internet connection for your next international trip.

A trip to the Mediterranean is the perfect Summer experience. Not wanting to travel solo, I signed up for one of Contiki's group trips: Rome to Barcelona by Train hosted by the YouTuber Morgan Yates.
