Winter in Colorado

Here are some pictures from my ski days this winter. I tried to be more intentional about going this year since it’s a pretty expensive hobby. I bough the season pass (Epic local) last year for around $700 and only skied two days.. opps. This year I did a little better and went four days….

Fall in Colorado

Some pictures I took at Kenosha Pass in fall 2024. Finally getting around to posting them. All taken on my Olympus E-M5 Mark II mirrorless camera.

Lake Como, Italy

On my final day of the trip I decided to do a day trip to Lake Como because I really wanted to see the lake and all the luxury hotels and million dollar mansions. I booked my tour with Viator, I think it was $110 for the day. There were about 60 other tourists in…

Torrechiara, Italy

After spending one day exploring Parma and the next day doing the bike tour to the cheese factory and countryside, we decided to spend our last full day in the area doing a day trip to the small village of Torrechiara. Tori chose Torrechiara because it’s known for its vineyards and a medieval castle overlooking…

Parma, Italy

From Bologna we headed to Parma for a few days. Parma is known as the birth place of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Ferrera, Italy

It was a nice stop. Estense Castle This medieval castle in the middle of Ferrera is surrounded by a…

Bologna, Italy

After Milan we headed to Bologna for three days. Bologna is a more mid-sized city and it’s a university town so there were a lot of young college students around which made it feel very lively all day. Bologna also has a lot of shopping, restaurants, and bars. It has medieval and Renaissance structures like…

Milan, Italy

Hello! I’m very happy to be traveling again after taking some time off to get adjusted to my life in Denver. I recently went to Italy for 10 days with my friend Tori. We spent time in the northern part of Italy visiting Milan, Bologna, Parma, and then I did a day trip to Lake…

Australia Week Five Recap

Hello! Welcome to my last and final post from my trip to Australia and abroad (for now)! I spent my last week in the Bondi beach neighborhood in an Airbnb. I went to an Australian Football League game, walked around the markets at Manly beach, and met up with friends from prior trips. I was…

Bondi Beach, Australia

During my last week in Australia I got an Airbnb near Bondi Beach so I could check out another area of Sydney. I loved my time here! My trip was coming to an end and I had no more travel plans, so I spent the week relaxing and walking the beach paths around this area….
