Exploring the Cyclades
The thing about the Cyclades is that they're all different. We take two weeks and travel between three islands, spending three or four days on each. You can build your own itinerary and it gives you a wonderful sense of freedom rather than just being on holiday and sticking to the agenda of some tour operator.

Barton on Sea Remembers
Barton on Sea overlooks the English Channel. On very clear days the Isle of Wight stands proud and clear on the horizon. Even on dull days it can still be seen like a shadowy monster lying in wait to attack the mainland. France is far far away over the horizon. Even further away is India.

Mudeford Quay
This is an extremely popular spot for visitors and locals alike at any time of year. My own preference for making the ten mile drive from to Mudeford Quay is when there is a storm coming in from the English Channel or when the tide is turning.Mudeford Quay forms a man made bank of one side of what is called 'The Run.' This is a strip of water no more than 50 meters wide that is the inlet and outlet for the tidal movements between Christchurch Harbour and the English Channel.

Casa Di Guiliette
Hidden within the city center you are able to find a sweet little courtyard which is home to Juliet. Originally a medieval palace owned by the Capello family, this stunning architecture has for many years bought tourists from all over the world. Many visit to see the balcony that you have have read about in Shakespeare's writing, however what you may not know is that the balcony was not added on to the building until the 1930s to increase tourism! Despite this, it is still a must see, if not for the architecture then maybe the hope of luck and love will bring you running into the loving arms of Juliet herself. Well... a statue that is.

Gelato
Day two, its been a long day, I’m still getting used to the time change. We had just gotten done with a class at the University of Roma. We got on a bus, what an experience that was. People shoulder to shoulder, finding something to hold on to, eyes on us. People could tell we were new to this, eyes searching for everything we have. Phone, check, wallet, check, passport, check, keys, check. We get off the Termini.

10 Reasons to Visit England
Assuming you weren't born yesterday, you probably know that England is a pretty important player on a global level. Turning through the pages of history, you can note that this prestigious country has had a significant influence across the globe, seeming to (and definitely trying to) colonize every bit of land it came into contact with. Promoting economic growth in Asia, initiating the deconstruction of Africa, and giving birth to the United States, the expansive history of England has touched the lives of modern day people in ways that they couldn't even begin to realize, all over the world. In reference to England as a country, people are typically on one side or the other when it comes to their true feelings about the nation: They either love it vehemently, or hate it with a passion. This piqued perception of one of the longest founded nation-states, according to recorded history, will always be on the forefront of people's minds when they are reading about or researching the place. Despite its historical accomplishments and misgivings though, it is a place that can easily be appreciated, especially for travelers. If you're having trouble coming up with reasons to visit England outside of it's poignant place in world affairs, this list will be sure to give you something you, too, can marvel at.
