Inizio

Tell your story for yourself.

Originally published July 4, 2018

So the main reason I decided to create this website is because I get dozens of messages, texts, phone calls, and emails from friends and family all asking me about my travel adventures.  Questions such as, how do you afford to travel, how do you pick your destination, where do you stay, how do you know what to do when you get there?  The most frequent one I get is do you use a travel agent?  Followed by, can I help them plan a vacation?  And I never mind answering, it's fun to talk about something you like!

For me, researching destinations and planning what to see and do on the trip is just as much fun as the trip itself.  With that in mind, I never use a travel agent, not that there is anything wrong with using one, it's just not for me.  I like reading articles, looking at pictures other people have taken, and visiting tourism websites to help me get ideas of what to do and what to see.

My goal is that my site will inspire others to embark on or Inizio (Italian for begin) their own journey to travel and see the world. Life is not meant to be lived in the same spot doing the same things day in and day out. I plan to use this blog as a way to share my travel experiences, past and present, provide tips and recommendations. I hope to answer everyone's questions on how to pick a destination, travel cost, things to do and see, places to eat, best time to book a trip, what to pack, where to stay, all on here in one spot. I will try my best to post helpful links for booking trips, flights, excursions and things to do and see to make your planning easier.  Please feel free to comment or ask questions! :)
