Comment 14DAY for the detailed guide to this 14 day Alaska itinerary (including restaurant rec’s, lodging, specific tours, etc)

With 14 days you can experience a lot of Alaska!

On this trip you’ll head to Denali by train, then make your way south to Homer and Seward. 🐻 Bear viewing, 🐋 whale watching, 🧊 glaciers, 🏔️ hiking (optional), and much more is packed into this trip.

Instead of renting a car for the entire trip and spending $$$, you’ll only need one for half of it.

This itinerary was crafted based on my 25 years growing up and living in Alaska as an adult.

I kinda thought we were heading toward a tourist trap.

I’d heard the name of this town many times and read it’s gorgeous but that’s really all I knew. So with little else to go on we took a short cab from Nice to the village one morning.

And although there were many touristy shops scattered about, there were also incredible artisans with beautiful products. And this hilly town was a feast for the eyes. At every turn up and down winding steps a new scene unveiled itself.

And the views of the sea from this cliffside village provided an incredible Birds Eye view.

📍I recommend paying to walk the exotic gardens at the top. Stop in at one of the perfumeries.

📍For an (expensive) and incredible drink with a view, stop in at Le Cafe du Jardin.

📍 And if you love olive oil, I couldn’t believe the flavors they came up with at Deli’.

Even though we spent just a few hours here, it’s a place I’ll remember fondly.

This isn’t a complete list, but here are some things I’ve noticed as a parent living in Italy. Do any of these surprise you?

Hey there! We’re a family of 4 that moved from Alaska to Northern Italy last fall. Follow along as we learn this new culture and way of life over 5,000 miles from home ❤️

Italy 1, me = 0

Fog + smog is not a great combination

Northern Italy along the Po Valley (just south of the Dolomites) is notoriously some of the most polluted air in Europe. And when it’s foggy, the air pollution gets trapped and becomes even worse.

Homes don’t have ventilation but it’s important to open windows to air out your house so mold spores don’t form. On days like this though I’m not sure what to do other than hide 🤣

I love living in Italy but the air quality in this region can hard to deal with. It really makes me grateful for those beautiful clear days.

Save this when planning next year’s European Christmas Markets.

Hey there I’m Brea, an American who recently moved to Italy with my family. I share practical tips about travel and life in Italy.

Well everyone, we did it. We officially LIVE in Italy now 🇮🇹

It took us 17 hours of flying and 8 hours of layovers to get here. The 9 hour time difference has been rough so far but here’s a few photos of our new home…

1-3: Downtown Vicenza
4: Wine from our Airbnb host
5: Too many olive oils to make a choice
6: A tired boy
7. The Alps
