I said goodbye to my parents in the driveway. The summer of 1974, I graduated from high school, turned eighteen and, with money earned at the mall, bought a round-trip ticket to what seemed like a shimmering fairytale across the Atlantic: Europe.

Tours of the D-day beaches are popular, but ours was a bit different. It was the summer of 2011, 77 years after D-Day. We sailed across on our 27' boat from the Solent in England. We didn’t quite follow in the wakes of all those ships and brave soldiers, sailors and airmen. Our route was simpler.

Listen, I love Rome. I really do but now that we’re free to travel again, I have to fill you in on what to expect from the Eternal City. Masochists will love Rome. So will anybody else drawn to stress and anxiety. Don’t get me wrong, Rome has a lot of things going for it. Historical buildings, pizza, magnificent museums, pizza, stunning churches, pizza. Did I say pizza? Over nine million tourists a year visit the city and, for the most part, Rome is prepared. Yet there are a few trouble spots that can turn a Roman holiday into a Roman nightmare.

Some years ago I spent a couple of winters in Sicily, living on my boat in the dock at Marina de Ragusa. It’s a wonderful Island with great wine and pizzas to die for. Just up the road is the old city of Ragusa which is a World Heritage Site. There’s plenty of other history too with amazing Roman ruins, at Agrigento for example. Then there’s an active volcano, Mt. Etna if you fancy visiting a boiling crater.

The capital of France, Paris is a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. It has wide boulevards that crisscross the city and of course, the lovely River Seine dividing the city into two banks. It is well-known for landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Gothic Notre Dame Cathedral. Visitors to the city enjoy its sidewalk cafes and vibrant nightlife.

As the title suggests, this may not be the most clear cut guide. Honestly, it might be easier to consider this a list: all the terrible decisions I’ve made over the course of five months. But bear with me. It’s important.
Getting Over the Fear of Going
Imagine, the moment has arrived. You’ve finally packed up the car, left the job you couldn’t stand and are about to begin an adventure that has been years in the making. It's about to happen, the key is in the ignition, but suddenly- you’re stunned with fear. The question “What the hell am I doing?” reverberates through your mind, and it paralyzes you. On September 15, 2022, that moment came for me.
Emelia BeamPublished about a year ago in WanderWhat I Learned from Travelling as a Digital Nomad for 5 Months
Whilst I have technically been a digital nomad for the last three years, i.e., living in a country where I don’t hold any working or residency visas whilst making money online, it was only this year that I fully lived the experience. I spent five months travelling through Turkey, the Netherlands, and Germany, whilst teaching English online.
