Christmas is coming, and I am packing. Again! I am Italian, and I live in the UK. I have travelled for over 10 years back and forth from Great Britain to Italy and I have packed an immeasurable number of bags and rucksacks, in one country or another.

I've been to Rome several times with my family and I've enjoyed it every time. It's a place that I will never forget, but if I go to Italy again, I will choose another city to explore like Venice or Sicily. With that in mind, my trips to Rome have offered me a pleasant experience and I can't wait to go back to Italy again.
Chloe GilholyPublished 6 years ago in WanderHow To: Bullet Journals
Today I will be talking about bullet journals. If you don’t know what they are, they are essentially an aesthetically pleasing way to keep track of many different aspects of daily life. They are becoming more and more popular, and I have recently thought of starting one of my own, so I thought I would do a little research. Here's what I found!
7 Reasons to Book a Ski Trip
1) Try Something New If you have never skied or snowboarded before, you’re in for a treat! With a few lessons, most people are able to get to grips with the basics and it’s always a great sense of achievement when you learn a new skill. Ski or snowboard lessons are a good introduction to the sport because you will learn how to move yourself about safely, and you will also learn how to fall without hurting yourself!
Katie McCallPublished 6 years ago in WanderFrom Eryn Heights
Where to start? Of all the many places in one’s lifetime, why must I be forced to choose from so few of said places? It is so I can relate to others the fruitful experiences that I have witnessed over a short period of time. So if I must choose one place where I learned things that I only fantasized about. The day I separated myself from the daily conformity of life and struck out into the white, untamed, harsh wilderness. I headed out with mild hopes, garbed in a light coat, snow pants, tall boots, and thin gloves, heading towards the wooded valley south of the farmhouse I listened to the sound of my boots steadily grinding out a rhythm in the fresh snow that lay upon the ground. I slowly crossed the plowed field of mud and snow, heading continuously towards the foreboding shadow of the woods on the far side of the field. The icy wind briskly licked my face as I walked onward along the lonely, white escarpment. When I reached the seemingly dark woods I ducked my head into the low overhanging branches and instead of darkness what greeted me was a calm, peaceful woodland. The ground was covered in snow, the sunlight streaming through the trues illuminating every corner of the woods. Giving the woodlands a sense of a beautiful, tranquil, heavenly peace about it. I listened to see if I could hear any sound of wildlife or movement of any type, and I was met with silence, and the soft whisper of the wind upon the snow laden trees. As I ventured further into the woods, I couldn’t help but notice that even as the woods gave the beholder a beautiful atmosphere to witness, I could still feel a certain wild temperance behind it. I was careful in watching my step, so as to avoid creating any severe form of damage upon the undergrowth of the forest, for the way that the fallen leaves and branches made the ground seem as if it disliked being trodden upon. I’ll be frank, there wasn’t entirely too much to see or do within that area, so I moved on till I was faced with a small rivulet running through the trees. I was faced with the decision of either fording the river, building a bridge with fallen branches, or finding a natural stepping stone. Not wanting to get wet, or having to look for long enough branches. I chose the latter option and continued downstream until I found the a large flotilla of fallen branches that perfectly spanned the stream. After a few mistakes in my footing, I finally managed to get across without falling in. Then I went further into the woods to find a place to sit down, and observe the woodlands around me. So I began my search for a tree, or even some tall grass to sit in, then I found it. A tall tree with numerous thick branches perfect for climbing. Shortly after a few times of falling out, I got into a high branch and looked out; The treetops were slowly swaying in the wind as it whistled through the canopy, the branches were laden with snow, the sky was light grey like those in winter, the Ground shone from the sun as it reflected off of its surface. As I sat there amidst its beauty, I couldn’t help but think about what would happen if I was to be killed in this world of white, what would happen if all of a sudden I was to be taken from this untamed world of white into the darkness between worlds and then emerge on the other side, in a radiant world where I will feel no suffering or exhaustion? Who would care? How would it affect my friends? Would anyone even think to mourn my death? As these thoughts raced through my mind I started to head back towards the house I thought 'how does something so beautiful, lead to death?' That is one of life’s biggest mysteries, how things that appear so calm, yet so wild beneath can kill a person.
