Happy National Pizza Day!

One of my favorite things about traveling is trying delicious dishes from all over the world. Nowadays we wouldn't really consider pizza a foreign food, but let me tell you....the best pizza I ever had was in Venice, Italy!

Of course most of us know that pizza originated in Italy, but it actually became more popular in the US before most of Italy! Check out this quick read from History to learn about where your favorite meal (or is that just me?) comes from 🍕🍕

With love,
Abigail 💚

Did you know pizza took the United States by storm before it became popular in its native Italy?

This picture brought the biggest smile to my face today because it triggered a mother daughter memory, which are my favorite kind. In 2019 Abigail and I were lucky enough to go on an AmaWaterways Rhine River Cruise. Everything about it was beyond perfect! At the end of the cruise we both agreed that a river cruise is a perfect mother daughter getaway.

As some of you may already know...Japan in my jam 🎶🎶

Everything about it excites me - the culture, the people, the food, the history, the architecture, the landscapes, the music....I could go on and on forever!

Whenever I need a little pick-me-up, I start exploring all my wish-list items and everything Japan has to offer curious and adventurous travelers such as myself!

In my opinion, 8 days is not nearly enough time to soak-in all the wonders of Japan, but its a starting point! There is so much to see and do in this beautiful country - check out this sample itinerary of a Seto Inland Sea Adventure for some inspiration! https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:835abb28-a906-35d5-931c-977dceda89cc

Want to customize your own, unique Japan experience? Let me know - I would be thrilled to curate an experience that is uniquely you!

With love,
Abigail 🌏💚
