Just returned from an unforgettable port stop to Malta! This little island is packed with so much history, beauty, and culture—every corner is an adventure. From exploring the ancient streets of Valletta and the medieval charm of Mdina to taking in the breathtaking views of the Blue Grotto, Malta has completely won me over.
The food, too, was a highlight—think fresh seafood, pastizzi (the best snack!), and local wine with every meal.

There’s something enchanting about Sorrento in the rain – the cobblestone streets glisten, the scent of citrus hangs in the misty air, and the sea takes on a moody, mysterious shade. The colorful buildings feel more vivid against the gray sky, and quiet cafes become cozy hideaways where you can sip an espresso and watch the world go by.

Rainy days in Sorrento offer a different kind of beauty, a chance to slow down, take it all in, and see this charming town in a whole new light.
