24 Hours in Munich, Germany

24 Hours in Munich, Germany

To wrap up our three-week adventure in Europe, we spent 24 hours in Munich before flying home from the Munich International Airport. Alyssa had spent a good chunk of time in Munich prior to my arrival, but my only experience with Munich was navigating my way from the airport to the train to take me to Venice at the beginning of our trip.

Nine Days in Italy: An Itinerary


In early September I set off on a three-week trip around various parts of southern Europe with my roommate Alyssa. Our adventure began with nine fantastic days touring around Italy. We started in Venice, then hit Rome, travelled to Naples and explored the Amalfi Coats and Capri. From there, we headed north again, this time to Milan, to round off our time in Italy before moving on to the South of France. Italy is a really magical place. The food is delicious, the scenery is breathtaking, and the language and culture is beautiful. I also loved how the different cities had such different feels and their own character. Here I’m diving into what our Italy itinerary looked like and breaking down how you can see some of the best that the country has to offer in a limited time frame.
