This week the region of Campania fell from the yellow zone into the orange zone. We are currently not allowed to go out of our municipality and should basically only be out for essentials or work. Yet, staying at home doesn’t have to be a complete disaster. I am choosing to spend this time catching…
We started off February by taking our first visit to the Costa d’Amalfi to a little town called Vietri Sul Mare, a city famous for its ceramic products. It rained and stormed quite a bit after our visit there, so we must’ve soaked up the last of the sun and warmth. The day was gorgeous,…
High on a hilltop in the forested hills north of Caserta sits Vairano Patenora. A beautiful castle towering above the cascading city captures your eye as you arrive from a distance. This was another random village that we chose to walk around on a weekend since the ease of restrictions. Vairano Patenora has a long…
January and February have been quite rainy and stormy for the most part. However, there was a Saturday a couple weeks back that we were able to catch the city of Napoli on quite a beautiful day! With the exception of a small hail storm and some strong winds, our stormy day turned out quite…
For the first two weeks that Campania changed into a yellow zone there were a few places like museums and archeological sites that offered free admission! Typically admission prices are relatively cheap here, except maybe for the more famous ones like Pompeii, but the price can quickly get out of hand because there are SO…
We first arrived in Naples three months ago right before all the holidays, both American and Italian, were gearing up to take place for the winter. My hope for the holidays while here was to enjoy each of them in a different region every year in order to fully experience various traditions and foods within…

It’s picking a random village and spending the day roaming its streets and admiring the architecture and way of life. It’s being able to explore without paying entrance or parking fees and moving freely around when something…
Our region of Campania is yellow!! That means there are slightly less-strict rules to our lockdown which finally enables us to get out and safely explore (beyond essentials)! And you better believe that we hit the ground running. Three years may seem like a long time to explore Italy, but people can live here their…
We have continued to learn more about the Italian culture while settling in and gaining more awareness through random glimpses of the Italian cities and interactions, if only for a short time, with the people of the Campania region. These glimpses may only be due to essential travel and not always everyone’s idea of “fun.”…
