144 years in the making… and the closer you look, the more incredible it gets.

Construction on Barcelona’s Sagrada Família began in 1882, with Antoni Gaudí taking over the following year. In 2026, this incredible landmark reaches a major milestone in its completion.

👀 Look closely at the exterior....the façades are covered in intricate carvings and symbolism. There is so much more to see than you notice at first glance.

Spain is a destination I know especially well after studying Spanish language and culture, living there during college, and later teaching Spanish. I love being able to share some of the history and culture behind the places my clients visit, not just where to go.

🚗 Planning to drive in Europe? Your U.S. driver’s license may not be enough.

Depending on the country, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your valid U.S. driver’s license.

When we were looking at scooters, we found that the requirements depended on the type of scooter. Some of the lower-powered options didn’t have the same requirements, but the more powerful scooter we looked at required an IDP.

We actually hadn’t planned on renting a car during our trip, but our plans changed and we ended up renting one in Italy. We were happy we came prepared with our IDPs.

I’ve now seen TWO incredible Roman amphitheaters one in Rome 🇮🇹 and one in El Jem, Tunisia 🇹🇳 and I have to say… Tunisia was the better experience for me. 👀

The Colosseum in Rome is iconic and absolutely worth seeing, but it was incredibly busy. In Tunisia, visiting the Amphitheatre of El Jem felt completely different.

There were hardly any crowds. We could slow down, explore, take photos, and actually appreciate what we were looking at without feeling like we needed to keep moving. Parts of El Jem are also remarkably well preserved.. you can even explore areas beneath the arena. 🤯

Rome may have the more famous Colosseum, but El Jem was the experience I enjoyed more.

And this is exactly why I love traveling beyond the places everyone already knows. Sometimes the destination you least expect ends up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. ❤️🌍

Which would you rather experience? 🇮🇹 or 🇹🇳
