Ciao Family Travel Hi! I'm Danielle, an American mom raising our 4 kids in my husband's hometown in Italy.

I share our family travels with an emphasis on unique and educational experiences.

Spoiler: Halloween in Italy feels about as American as fettuccine Alfredo is Italian. 😂

Our first few years in Italy, I dressed my kids up in cute costumes like astronauts, puppy dogs, or princesses. We got the weirdest looks, but didn’t care. 😅

I was still holding out for the fun, lighthearted costumes I grew up with in the U.S. and pretty against anything scary. But once my kids started going to public school here… they weren’t having it anymore. 👻

I miss Halloween in the U.S., but I also remind myself that this kind of Halloween will become my kids’ core memories. 🇮🇹🎃 They’ll love it just as much as I loved mine growing up, just for totally different reasons…and that’s ok.

How is Halloween celebrated in your country?

I can’t believe how many Neolithic and Bronze Age stones we found scattered all over Cornwall!

I’d read a bunch of guidebooks and done tons of research before visiting, so when my friend mentioned that we should visit Lanyon Quoit, I was surprised I hadn’t come across it in my research!

Then, while we were in the car Googling and doing more research on Lanyon Quoit, we stumbled across the Mên-an-Tol stones, which were just a 5 minute car ride! As we drove through the countryside, we kept spotting ancient stones everywhere! Absolutely amazing.

My friend recently told me that they Google ancient stone sites wherever they are in Europe and find them all over the place — often without any tourists there!

Mên-an-Tol was especially fun for us because there’s a tradition that people passed through the holed stone in order to be healed. The girls and I gave it a try, and it ended up being one of my favorite memories of our trip! 😆

My kids’ favorite parts of the year is always the months we spend on my parent’s farm in Oregon. It’s animals, cousins, farm chores, and popsicles galore and just doesn’t get better than this.

We ordered every flavor of lemonade they had plus this elderflower juice that got RAVE reviews.😆

One of our favorite traditions while traveling is ordering a variety of local drinks or snacks and rating them. It’s not expensive, works anywhere in the world, and honestly is just so much fun.

Don’t forget to play on your trips, my friends. 🎲 That’s where a lot of the magic happens. ✨
