Hi everyone, hope you are having a great day! This post is kinda long overdue but I wanted to share my Italy trip during Thanksgiving with you all. Although this is not the first time I've been to Italy, I still loved every part of the trip and discovered many new things. I think Italy is a country that ages beautifully and graciously with time. Whether you are a cultural enthusiast, a world traveler, a devoted catholic, an art appreciator, a fashionista or a food lover, you will be sure to love everything Italy has to offer ;)

We started our trip here in Rome. An ancient city filled with historical and religious significance. The entire city is like an open museum for you to browse and appreciate. From culture to religion, from food to fashion, Rome was definitely not built in a day :)

Next stop, Venice. Ah Venice...you are so pretty and surreal, you are a photographer's heaven. This peaceful and world heritage site was once a flourishing trade center between Western Europe and the rest of the world. When you are faced with this exquisitely unique city of serene lagoons, quaint bridges over winding canals and elegant architecture, it's impossible to take a bad picture! :P
