    Venice (Italy): 2 weeks as Digital Nomads

    After a month and a half in Rome, we decide to spend two weeks in Venice to enjoy the good weather before the arrival of winter. This is a first for us! We visited a lot of fake Venice, small Venice, green Venice…. but for the REAL Venice, we waited until 2020 to go there. We arrived in Venice by train. The train crosses a kind of narrow path, surrounded by water. It looks like we are going to the Keys. The water does not seem so deep because I saw people with their feet in the water and it only reaches their knees. We see a lot of fishermen…

    1 day in Vicenza (Italy): 45mn from Venice

    A few days before our arrival in Venice, I discover thanks to the paper flower designers that I am on Instagram, that Cartotecnica Rossi, an Italian company, world leader in crepe paper , will be present at the creative fair in Vincenza (Vicenza). They have also invited some Italian designers that I am a fan of. Neither one nor two, I look up where Vicenza is on Google Maps and discover that the city is only 45 minutes from Venice. So I decide to make the round trip during the day from Venice. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary Vicenza is on the Venice…

    Digital Nomad: our 2nd Airbnb in Rome (Italy) #8

    An ultra fast post to show you our 2nd airbnb in Rome.We were in the Trastevere district in September, but we moved to the Piazza di Spagna side to be more central. In Rome, the public transport services are more and more limited, we easily wait 20 minutes to take the bus, so it’s good to have an apartment close to everything. All the services I regularly use are between 5 minutes and 15 minutes on foot. What a relief! We paid 35€/night for this apartment, it’s a ridiculously low price, which we could never have had without the Covid (you will find all the links to our Airbnb &…

    My session with Anthony Page, a Network Spinal Analysis Chiropractor in Rome (Italy)

    Today I will tell you about my session with a chiropractor. I had a few sessions in Morocco (in Essaouira) which I have told you about here. A few months ago, I watched an episode of Netflix’s The Goop Lab (episode 5) on energy care with a Network Spinal Analysis chiropractor and I thought “OMG I want I want”. Be very careful what you ask for because the universe often arranges to give it to you at the most unexpected time. Completely by chance, an Italian friend of mine offered me a session at her chiropractor’s <3 <3 telling me that it was going to be good for me.Having found…

    Dental Care in Rome, Italy (crowns, caries, scaling, paradontitis): How much does it cost?

    Sorry to take so long to upload the travel diaries, but since September, I’ve been hanging out at the dentist’s and these appointments put me in low energy, it’s crazy. Constantly thinking about my teeth or my tooth problems, it exhausts me! I wonder if 5 continents world tour has turned into a dentists’ world tour. It’s terrible! I visited dental offices in Thailand, Morocco, Canada, Italy and Turkey. Well, what I can tell you is that French dentists are the worst, so if your wallet allows it and you can get treatment elsewhere, I highly recommend you. Why should I get treatment in Italy? That’s the question everyone asks…

    The Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum – Rome (Italy) #7

    Today, I take my courage in both hands to write this article. This is one of the last articles about Rome as we visited the Colosseum was our second visit, just after the Vatican. Well yes, because I didn’t like it. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary I visited quite a few ruins anyway, especially in Turkey but I think that the Coliseum, classified as one of the New 7 Wonders, has set the waiting bar a little too high. For information, on the New 7 Wonders of the World, we could visit 5 of them: The Chinese Wall, Christ the Redeemer in Rio,…

    Sant’Angelo Castle: Rome (Italy) #6

    The Castel Sant’Angelo isn’t that far from the Vatican, but it took us an eternity to get there. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary From our Airbnb, we choose to walk to the Castel Sant’Angelo, hoping to discover a little bit of Rome. Finally, we just walk along the river banks, which look strangely similar to Paris. We have lunch at the Ristorante Porta Castello, it’s nice, affordable without being gastronomic, it’s a good choice if you want to avoid the tourist restaurants of the area. We don’t realize it, but we are really close to the Vatican. You can see St. Peter’s Basilica…

    Digital Nomad: 2.5 months in Rome (Italy), ideal destination in spite of Covid

    As you know, because of the Covid, instead of taking it easy in Asia, we had to return to France and stay there for 7 months before finally leaving on a mop, destination Italy. Why Italy? Because the destination was part of our initial itinerary: France – Germany – Austria – Italy and the more we learn about it, the more we want to be there. Rome has always been on our wishlist but as it’s “too close” to France, we thought we would have all our time and finally we went around the world twice without setting foot there. It took us more than 30 years to go there,…

    Short Walk in Rome (Italy) #5: from Prati to Trastevere

    We’ve been in Rome for a month and a half and I’m starting to have a little routine. I regularly go to the district of Prati, either to my masseuse or to my dentist, and to get back to our Airbnb in Trastevere, I always take the same route through the monuments of downtown Rome. I like it very much. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary Already, after the appointment at the dentist’s, I always treat myself to an ice cream to reward myself for all the suffering caused by the appointment. I go either to Venchi or to the Romanaaccording to my mood…

    Gallery and Villa Borghese & all-you-can-eat Sushi restaurant – Rome (Italy) #4

    The Borghese Gallery is one of the places we were recommended to book in advance because of the crowds. So we buy the tickets a month and a half in advance, to find out how much the Covid has impacted Rome as well. It doesn’t matter, we are among the first to enter the villa (out of 20 tourists in all) and it suits us very well. The Gallery is nestled in a huge heart-shaped park (Villa Borghese). If the park is free, the access to the Gallery costs us 13€/person I don’t know if it’s always like this but the visiting hours are made so that each group has…
