Porto Venere: A Cultural Gem on Italy's Ligurian Coast
Porto Venere Italy is one of my favorite countries to visit. During our last trip, we had the pleasure of discovering the city of Porto Venere in the province of La Spezia on the Ligurian coast of Italy. We have visited many towns in Italy but none left me with such a culture shock as Porto Venere, even though I love this little town and its people.

A Greenwich Park Goodbye
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an Anglophile. I might’ve been in Kansas City physically, but I was always somewhere in England mentally. I visited my soul country for the first time in the Spring of 2022 and when I returned, I searched for an excuse to go back. That excuse came in the Spring of 2023 when I enrolled in a class at my University about the history of England, which included a class trip to London over Spring Break! It couldn’t have been more perfect.

What Napoleon Would Have Wanted
It was December 2015. It was to be the winter for the trip of a lifetime. My wanderlust began at a young age. With my first visit to South Africa at the fourteen, the spark was ignited and only grew with age. Now in my mid-thirties, I have traveled to 17 countries and over 20 states. To describe this trip, I first need to explain how I arrived there. Having studied French most of my life, studying abroad in Tours, France in high school and in Angers, France in college, you could say that my Francophilia only ripened deeper with age, like a fine Beaujolais. After college, I took it a step further and taught English abroad in French Guiana (in South America). That year, despite many hardships, was one of the best of my life. In Kourou, French Guiana I was known as “l’américaine” (the American woman), recognized pedaling around town on my bike and to many, the first and only American they had met. During that seminal time, I fostered a sense of community around me that I had heretofore not experienced. I made friends with other teaching assistants from around the world, friends from my tango class and friends from the theatre class at the French foreign legion.
