Thursday, January 28th, 2016

One of the best vacation ideas for single women is a trip to Rome! Italy is full of some of the world’s finest restaurants, boutiques, and tourist attractions. Italy, especially the capital of Rome, features an enormous amount of history as well as geographical beauty and destinations for people with all sorts of different interests.

Rome is known for its great and marvelous history. Vatican City is right there. The Coliseum is one of the most magnificent pieces of architecture that there is. There are also wonderful shopping destinations and restaurants to dine at. Whatever someone’s favorite thing to do may be – there is bound to be something for everyone in Rome!

Best Places to See in Rome

Coliseum and Pantheon

For the single women travelers with a passion for history, these two amazing pieces of architecture are a must-see. They are some of the most well-preserved pieces of ancient architecture in the world, and are bound to be interesting and memorable for anyone that wants to see them. Those that love history will be especially pleased by these great monuments that exemplify the power of the Roman Empire.

Pizzeria Luzzi

One of the best pizzerias in all of Rome, Luzzi is a must stop for anyone wanting a piece of authentic Italian cuisine. They also boast cheap beer and wine, as well as great service. Whether someone is traveling through Rome for a day or two on the way through Italy or spending some quality time in the city, Pizzeria Luzzi is a great place to stop.

The Trevi Fountain

This magnificent fountain is in the Trevi district of Rome, and is one of the most famous fountains in the world. It was designed by Nicola Salvi, and is of the Baroque style, and was finished as it is in its current state by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762. The fountain features Oceanus, the Roman god of water, in the central part. The Trevi fountain was refinished in 1998, and again in 2014. To this day it remains one of the biggest cultural landmarks in all of Rome.

Via Condotti and the Spanish Steps

This is the central part of Rome’s designer shopping area. Great stores such as Gucci and Prada are featured here, and it has even been known to be a favorite destination of the local celebrities. It also helps that it begins at the foot of the Spanish Steps, which is a huge tourist destination in Rome. This is a great place to start when shopping is on the to-do-list.

This list is an excellent place to start for the traveler visiting Rome and hoping to discover some of the best local attractions. Trips for single women can be tricky, and that’s why it’s always great to have an idea of what you’re getting yourself into. Sure, deviating from the plan is part of the fun – but it helps to have a road map when entering a city you have never been to. Women traveling Europe that pass through Rome will definitely want to be checking out these great shops!

Thursday, November 12th, 2015

Years of travel prepares you for many different situations. After a few trips to different climates, you learn what items are essential to pack and what can stay home. Of course, every woman is different and has different needs and wants while traveling. Needless to say, we believe that this checklist encompasses the “universal truths” of packing.

Checklist for Traveling

Carry-On

-passport/ID/boarding pass/local currency

-cell phone & charger/universal adaptor

-shower/makeup/hygiene kit (pack in carry on in case suitcase gets lost)

Suitcase

-undergarments (bring extras, they don’t take up a lot of space)
