Getting lost on purpose in Venice and discovering Venetian life!

Published on: 18/05/201605/09/2019 by Nic Hilditch-Short 4 Comments

Venice is a crazy city, a lot like Tokyo in many way in the fact that it is utterly confusing and you will get lost no matter how much you fight it! But in this maze like city getting lost is when you really discover the true heart of this wonderful place. Along the narrow […]

Touring Venice by the water: The best way to see both the known and unknown areas of this unique city!

Published on: 16/05/201605/09/2019 by Nic Hilditch-Short 5 Comments

When visiting Venice what better way in there to explore this special, unique and crumbling old city than via the canals. When you tour the canals you get not only the chance to see Venice from another perspective and see all those amazing and well known sites once again. But from here you see how […]

Venice overnight and on a budget, what to see and do to make the most of a short visit!

Published on: 12/05/201610/11/2020 by Nic Hilditch-Short 9 Comments

Venice can be an expensive place and definitely isn’t somewhere on the usual backpacking route. But as we were in Italy and making our way over to Slovenia the easiest way was through Venice…so we decided why not stay for 1 night and make the most of the time we have in this wonderful city. […]

The fascinating Earth pyramids of Bolzano & The amazing Cable Car & hike to visit them!

Published on: 08/05/201605/09/2019 by Nic Hilditch-Short 9 Comments

After exploring the wonderful streets of Bolzano for a few days we happened across an amazing and intriguing image of what looked like some sort of alien formations.

Bolzano (Bozen) The Italian mountain city with Austrian flair – The fascinating culture of Sud Tyrol

Published on: 06/05/201605/09/2019 by Nic Hilditch-Short 12 Comments

We had been keen to head up to the very North of Italy for sometime, the mountainous region on the border of Austria had temped to its snow covered peaks and delightful villages. But little did we know that upon crossing over into the region of Sud Tyrol we would be entering into a majority […]

A taste of Italia…The delicious food of this amazing country!

Published on: 02/05/201615/08/2018 by Paul Short 12 Comments

Why we love Italy and I have always wanted to visit- Italy, the land famous for many things including architecture, fashion and design, literature but probably most of all their cuisine, there are so many delicious dishes to try in Italy. That’s definitely one of the main reasons I’ve been itching to go to Italy […]

Our first Air BnB experience…How to use it and $25/ £17 off for you!!

Published on: 30/04/201619/12/2018 by Nic Hilditch-Short 24 Comments

AirBnB! What is is and what does it even mean! We didn’t have a clue for a long time, was it staying in someones house or was it just a unique hotel? We decided to take the plunge when we couldn’t find any hotels or hostels for our stay in the tiny alpine village of […]

Lago di Carezza – The amazing Dolomites, Italy!

The Lago Di Carezza is a picture perfect alpine lagoon surrounded by the impressive dolomite mountains. It sits in a winding valley of dream like scenery only an hours bus ride from the German speaking, Italian city of Bolzano/ Bozen. Visiting this stunning setting was absolutely breath taking, seeing the Dolomites in all their jagged […]

Exploring the traditional and yet bohemian district of Brera, Milan

Published on: 21/04/201605/09/2019 by Nic Hilditch-Short 17 Comments

The Brera district of Milan is the heart of contemporary culture, happening bohemian art and where the creative youth hang out. Yet despite this it is also the traditional centre of the city, the way the Milan of old would have been: Narrow cobbled streets, colourful Italian facades and a maze like layout. Here you can step back to a world […]
