Travel Italy

This past fall I studied abroad in Florence, Italy. So if you need a planner to plan a whole trip through Italy, I am your girl. I was able to reach about 25 different cities through this beautiful country. The transportation is the greatest part because it is so easy, and a lot cheaper than flying. In all honesty, Italy is a country in Europe that you CAN'T miss out on, and I know that i've said that in my past blogs about other countries, but nothing will beat seeing and emerging yourself in the culture of Italy!  

The reason why I fell in love with this place so much was because it reminded me of California (my home). You will be able to see every eco system out there..well close enough! From snow, lakes, beaches, dessert, and wineries, there will always be something new around the corner. 

A few cities that i would make sure you go to would be Venice, Cinque Terre, Florence, Orvieto, & the Amalfi Coast. You will see such potent culture, the greatest foods, the most delicious wine, and the friendliest of people. 

Enjoy!

Travel Switzerland

If you are looking for a perfect week vacation to Europe, make the effort to see Switzerland. 


Interlaken: This adventurous town sits between two crystal blue lakes, and is also the heart of the magnificent Jungfrau region mountain world. There are over 45 mountain railways, cable cars, chair lifts and ski lifts that lead to 200 kilometers of pistes and a dense network of hiking trails. Excursion ships, including historic paddle steamers, ply the waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. If you are one who is into the outdoors and adventurous through the mountains, this isn't a place you should miss out on.


  • Harder Kulm Hiking Trail  – a cableway that takes passengers up to Interlaken’s "house mountain“ In which you will see a view of the health resort and the whole Jungfrau region. The Alpine wild animal park near the valley station is an experience for children as well. If your feeling daring, hike up the trail right before sunrise (with head lamps obviously), and you will see the most breathtaking view at the top. 
      
  • Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn – the rides by rack-railway to the highest railway station in Europe and the cableway to the Piz Glora revolving restaurant: two top mountain experiences in the Bernese Oberland.
  • FONDUE at Bebbis Restaurant- this country created cheese fondue, and let me tell you, its not something you should miss if you are a cheese or chocolate lover.  
This is one of the easiest towns to get to from any airport in Switzerland. Interlaken has two train stations at both ends of the town, in which will take you to any other city in Switzerland. 

Enjoy!

Healthy Desserts

So I know all of you have a sweat tooth, well at least i do, and its large and in charge. I love working out and eating healthy because that's what motivates me everyday, but w=once dinner is over and I'm sitting on the couch all i call think about is junk, sweats, and chocolate! Well if you feel the same way, don't worry because i have great and healthy options for ya!

Quest Bar Nutrition
Quest Bars were created from a simple idea: healthy food should taste amazing with zero compromises. Quest set out to deliver something that no one had done before and believed that with enough hard work and innovation food could be delicious and good for you. People eat for enjoyment rather than sustenance. 
There is over 15 flavors, and each protein bar is no more than 250 calories at the most! My favorite thing to do for dessert is grab the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor (or any flavor for that matter) and put it either in the oven or microwave for 2 minutes, and it comes out like a gooey cookie. You can even have one of these bars for breakfast! 
 

  Enjoy!
