AMSTERDAM

Press trip - I had a staycation-like press trip here in Amsterdam to discover a couple different neighborhoods.
This is is the Eastern Docklands. First of all, check out that sky! We had blue skies for a bit. How exciting!
But I also wanted to point out that we have stunning architecture all over the city. These homes may not be on a canal, but they are also so pretty. This isn't the only kind of architecture you'll find either. Take a wonder through this neighborhood and find some gems. You'll also find some great spots to eat, like @dekompaszaal and @instock_nl.
Do you ever just take time to wonder and get out of the city center?

WROCŁAW, POLAND

Even though this looks sponsored, it isn't! We heard about this food truck, went to go find it, and thought it didn't exist anymore. We were wrong! As we walked down the well-kept path you see behind me, we noticed this fence (also behind me). It looks sketchy as all get-out, but we heard people and smelled food.
We were hungry! So, we followed our noses and found the pizza truck! It was such a sketchy looking spot that we walked slowly, and craned our necks around the corner. It's funny now, but then, I just wasn't sure what was going on. Turns out there are bars back there, too! It feels so secret...but it's definitely not. Make sure you have plenty of time because the pizza took a while since so many orders were in front of us.
Was it worth it? YES! But I couldn't finish it. We had a refrigerator back in the room, but the saddest part of the story is that I forgot the pizza in there and never got to finish it. 😭

If you want to see more of the foodie spots we went to, just hit up our YouTube channel. It's youtube.com/awanderlustforlife. Easy, huh? And search for Wroclaw. We have a couple videos from there for you to check out!

Have you ever gone somewhere seemingly sketchy for food? Please share below, what it was for, and where it was!

WROCŁAW, POLAND

There are stunning buildings in the town square, and those you would probably be familiar with. But, I saw these as we strolled along through town. We didn't have much agenda, we just wanted to be in the city.
Can you travel that way? Just wander and not plan everything? We don't do it often, but it's always nice when we do!

WROCŁAW, POLAND

When it's summer time, head to the places that aren't going to be as crowded as the massive European cities. This year we took some time and headed to Wroclaw, Poland and it was gorgeous weather and it's a stunning city. We did some touristy stuff and also found our way around some cocktail bars. That was super fun! We even found some delicious places to eat.
If you want to learn more, we have some YouTube videos on our channel. It's just "Youtube.com/awanderlustforlife" but you can also find a link in our bio.

Have you been to Wroclaw, Poland? Have you even heard of Wroclaw?

ISCHIA, ITALY

Yes, I'm dreaming of warmer days on an Italian island. Can you blame me? It's rather chilly and we're in the time of year in Amsterdam when it just likes to rain most of the time. Don't get me wrong, I love Amsterdam, but Ischia was an island that I keep falling in love with...and then get frustrated with...and then love again.

Why all the back and forth? Well, it's beautiful. That is undeniable. And if you go to the right beach or the right terme, then all the good in life. But the buses are crowded, the roads narrow (especially if you are walking them!), and the taxis are expensive. Once you accept all of that, and for the most part, we did, it's pretty enjoyable.
Go in September when the weather is still very nice but prices are a bit lower and it's a little bit less crowded. And be sure to visit a terme. I didn't think I would enjoy it, but I LOVED it! My favorite was the @thermalparkaphroditeapollon. We went to that one first, and then visited another because everyone told us we should...and it was PACKED. More pools? Yes. Super cool design? Yes. But not relaxing and the part of the bay they were facing wasn't nearly as pleasant as the one at the Apollon. There are a few more we'll try next time, but that's my recommendations for now!

ISCHIA, ITALY

This was our second time up to the Aragonese Castle. The views are crazy beautiful no matter which way you look. It's definitely worth it to make time to visit! Keep in mind that it's mostly in ruins, but the family who owns it does a lot of work to keep it safe. There is a lot of restoration work that goes on here and there's one room with a window to it where you can watch exactly what they are doing!

What castle have you been to that you've absolutely loved?rch, and much more.

When in Ischia, you can stay near here and get a view of this castle. That's what we did the last time we visited, but this time we went all the way across the island to try something new. But we kept coming back to Ischia Ponte because it's so lively and has the most stunning views!

What castle have you been in that you've absolutely loved?

ISCHIA, ITALY

Still going with the Italy theme! This is from our vacation on the Italian island of Ischia. We spent a week here and found some stunning spots and great places to eat! This was from the terme we went to (which is something you just must do when visiting). We had the best day here and would definitely go back! It was the first time in a long time I've actually relaxed. Being in the warm-to-hot pools was awesome, but floating in the sea was the highlight for me. Well, that and the spaghetti and clams I had for lunch 😋
