A few words on a place that moved me a great deal. #jeddah #travel #SaudiArabia prdiseheadless.wpengine.com/how-to-spend-a…

Son meets #streetart in #Padova .

Today I spent the day touring the historic cafes of #Trieste , which are wonderful but shockingly unphotogenic. But check them out, they’re gorgeous, I promise! James Joyce would undoubtedly concur.

Just sat through a minute-long diatribe by an Italian server in Trieste trying to convince me that pancetta and bacon are the same thing. No, they’re not. You’re fired!

I’m so close to Slovenia that I asked for a local wine at dinner and they brought me this! I should have specified Km0 not Km2! #ilcollio

2/2 It was never sold to use as stopping transmission and there is nobody who has half a brain cell that thinks it does stop transmission. THAT IS NOT WHAT IT DOES AND THAT IS NOT WHY WE ALL GOT IT. Both Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson are simply lying. #wtf #COVID19

1/2 I don't understand Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. CNN played their comments about President Biden having Covid and they both played it like it was validation that the vaccine doesn't stop transmission. Why do they perpetuate this lie? The vaccine does not stop transmission!

I have never seen #GranaPadano chips on an Italian #pizza before, but holy formaggio it works! It works mighty well. Kudos to 357 PizzaandFood in #Merano !

The struggle is real with these Südtiroler, y’all! Either they don’t speak Italian well (I’m no Dante but I survive) or they aren’t sure about my suspect German. Either way, it’s a linguistic tug of war!

A little sumpin’ on #Sardegna ! prdiseheadless.wpengine.com/beyond-sardini… #travel #italy

Stunning Tagliolini with rabbit ragu in #Trento . Different than Emilia-Romagna no doubt but - dare I say - equally as good!

I spent all afternoon and evening coming and going from my hotel in #southtyrol and somehow never managed to see this big thing practically swallowing the lobby until I wandered out to the patio at 6am this morning. Lonely Planet Lonely Planet

Life in #Bolzano : Yesterday at lunch my server was saying goodbye to another table and she just fired off, “Arrivederci grazie danke auf wiedersehen!”as if it were one rapid-fire potluck of a word!

Today at my hotel in #Bolzano :

Made a dinner reservation for Sunday night in the #BrentaDolamites . “We only have local Alpine products. If you are looking for a Coca-Cola or a Tennessee whisky this isn’t the place for you.”

Don’t exchange money, folks! #travel #travel hack prdiseheadless.wpengine.com/travel-hack-ho…

Being stuck there unable to reverse or proceed with lines of cars behind me was the most nervewracking shit ever! #travel #ravelwriter #lonelyplanet

I do not have a toll tag! #travel #travel writer #lonelyplanet
