Like a Roman
2017 saw me seduced by the city of Rome, twice. For all the serenity that its rich history brings, it is not a city to be underestimated. Stepping off the train for the first time was the moment I realised how hectic of a city it was.Ā
The Vatican
It was a long day, but one of my best. Everything I loved about Italy was waiting for me inside Vatican City. No trip to Rome is complete without a day spent here, whether you're religious or not.
Falling for Florence
It's the city I was most excited to visit and pretty much as soon as I arrived, it was my favourite. I smiled for no particular reason while strolling through the walkable city. The tell-tale sign for me that I really love a place: leaving with a longing to return.

Milano!
I can't say enough about Milan. Along with Johannesburg, it's my favourite city in the world; being there just makes me happy. I was lucky enough to visit twice and each time left me wanting more. This visit to Milan marked my last couple of days in Italy. I decided to split them between touristy-things and fashion.
Capri: The World’s Most Beautiful
Capri. I'm pretty sure it's the most beautiful place in the world.
