THE TRAVEL JOURNAL

Rome is such an amazing city for a city break and somewhere I’d definitely go back to. If you are planning your first trip to Rome in the future, here are my top 3 tips for your first stay, including visiting the main Rome attractions, where to stay and of course, Italian food and drink! 

Around the world, we are in a global pandemic which means there is currently no travel. Here in the UK, like many countries we are in lockdown, meaning there is no travel anywhere (unless its deemed essential).

Whilst in Los Angeles we had a wonderful 24 hours in the beach town of Santa Monica. If there's no traffic then it's only about 25 minutes from Hollywood to Santa Monica (there's always traffic in LA though). This is why we booked a hotel & spent a little bit longer there than just a day trip.

A European City break is always a good idea. The Belgium city of Brussels is somewhere I've visited a few times, in fact, the last trip was my third over the last 10 years but the previous trips have always been shorter on time so I didn’t have much chance to explore the city. On this trip, it was a full weekend which included exploring the city & visiting the European Parliament.
