What I love most about planning travel is my ability to create one of a kind experiences. This often comes from picking the less traditional or known destinations and encouraging others to explore the world outside of their comfort zone. There is so much beauty, culture and architecture throughout the world, that we should try to see as much of it as we can. Exploring new places can open ones mind in unimaginable ways.
Amalfi, Italy is the largest city along the Amalfi Coast and is one of the most adorable places that you can think of. This city has the charm of a small town, rich texture in its architecture and vibrant colors to make you feel as though you are on a fantasy vacation. You can get absorbed by the neighborhoods and cultures. This is truly paradise.
More commonly known as a destination for some of the world’s famous entertainers, it can be a great getaway for anyone. The perfect travel season, itinerary and activities are dependent upon the travelers’ taste. Summers are full of tourists, while the off seasons provide a slower paced experience.
Popular Amalfi history dates back to the 7th century when it was known as a major sea trade location. Some of the historic landmarks date back to the early centuries and were designed to accommodate the needs of those stopping along the coast during the trade. This contributes to a modern posh backdrop for pictures, shopping and dining. You can wander the streets for days and still experience something new and exciting each time. That is the very essence of travel. #Love!

Is it possible to visit the amalfi coast on a tight budget from the US?
I went to the Amalfi Coast in September and it was AMAZING. The cathedral in the center square is beautiful and full of architecture. Mandingo Beach is nice, but gets filled w tourists since its right off of the dock where cruise tenders drop off visitors.
The people are so warm and friendly. By far one of my favorite places to go.
I visited in 2008. Your pictures bring back great memories. I’d have to look back at my own to remember the specific names of our dining and wining locations. The views were just awesome.
