It is worthwhile to visit Italy's volcanoes
Significant volcanic activity can be seen on the Apennine Peninsula and surrounding islands. In Italy, there are four active volcanoes (including the Ferdinandea undersea volcano), eight dormant volcanoes, and four extinct volcanoes, with two more entities whose condition is unknown. Although some pose a serious hazard, their beauty makes it impossible to ignore them.

The Blue Blooms of Belgium
The arrival of spring is in itself incredibly beautiful. The weather gets pleasant, trees grow green, and nature invites colors once again. Similarly, when spring arrives in Hallebos - The Blue Forest - in Belgium, colors come knocking. But the only colors that are allowed entry are green and blue. New green leaves arrive on the branches of the deciduous trees of the forest and bluebells bloom on the forest floor, turning it completely blue. And this is indeed a sight worth witnessing.

Writing, Planning
I have very much been all over the place - I've quit my job - I seem to have closed myself off - I feel completely and utterly lost. Yet rather than overthinking about some random interaction, I had with someone on a train or drunk texting my ex-boyfriend I have decided on a third option - writing. Now, this blog started as a travel blog and in all honestly, it very much is still a travel blog, but it is also a space place for me to express my views and deal with the things currently going on in my life. Writing might not always be my first choice, but it does make me feel better. It gets out all the unspoken emotions and I can see them in print - I can see how upset, sad, angry and frustrated I've been over the past few months and I can let it all out because the other option is hiding in my bed and crying like the world is ending, and it's not and I really shouldn't be doing that at twenty-six years old.

You should go to Blarney Castle
Blarney Castle and Gardens was the highlight of my Ireland trip. It was built nearly 600 years ago and millions still come to see it today. I didn’t know much about it, but I always like visiting historic buildings and castles in particular. I’ve been staying at Cork for a few days as it’s my stepdad’s birthday. His dad was born in this city, so it’s a close place to his heart. I hadn’t been to Ireland since I was 7 on a ferry trip to Dublin.

At the Titanic Memorial in Cobh
Many have heard of the famous 1997 film. It’s been over 110 years since the ship tragically sunk which claimed the lives of over 1500 people. Cruise ships nowadays can be bigger than the Titanic now, but at the time it was one of the biggest ships in the world. It’s still one of the greatest tragedies before both world wars.
