Hello again world! Despite my blogging silence, I’ve actually traveled quite a bit over the past couple of years, pandemic and all! Thus, it’s time to bring new life, color, and more food destinations and experiences to A Savory Planet. Starting with a fresh post on Mexico! If you love tacos, tropical fruit, and mole, this post is for you! We recently found ourselves in lovely Playa del Carmen for an amazing destination wedding (that I was a part of) and decided to make a trip out of it. On our last day in the area, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see the city from a local...…Hello again world!

I’m going to put it out there right away – officially speaking, I will only hit 29 countries by April 15th, 2019 – the day when I turn 30, but due to my upcoming July honeymoon to France with a long layover in Germany, I will technically have achieved the goal of traveling to 30 countries by age 30. This was not one of my goals – when I first set my mind to be an active and avid traveler, I didn’t put numbers to it, or goals, or anything quantifiable except asking myself 1) will I have the days off and 2) how much do I need to save to afford it? Travel is not a competition, not if you want...…I’m going to put it out there right away – officially speaking, I will only hit 29 countries by April 15th, 2019 – the day when I turn 30, but due to my upcoming July honeymoon to France with a long layover in Germany, I will technically have achieved the goal of traveling to 30 countries by age 30.

Rome has always been a top destination city for travelers longing to marvel at Europe’s greatest – magnificent centuries-old architecture, prolific art, cobblestone streets, and of course, one of the most renowned cuisines. Rome, as it is very appropriately named really IS the Eternal City to be marveled at and experienced slowly, paying careful attention to the details that compose its grandeur. Rome is not a huge city in size, but you will need extra time to really be able to explore all that it has to offer. I spent 3 days walking Rome’s streets and felt that it was a good amount of time...…Rome has always been a top destination city for travelers longing to marvel at Europe’s greatest – magnificent centuries-old architecture, prolific art, cobblestone streets, and of course, one of the most renowned cuisines.

Let me start off by saying that I like to consider myself a fairly reasonable voice of my generation, so I hope you are willing to hear me out. I am 28 years old and am finally starting to feel in tune with myself and the world around me – now, that didn’t happen overnight. I’d like to dedicate this blogpost to the millennial women I know and respect, and cherish, and love. As millennials, and as women, but especially as friends, we have supported and encouraged each other, and have achieved way beyond our predecessors because we refused to listen to unfavorable criticisms, refused to break...…Let me start off by saying that I like to consider myself a fairly reasonable voice of my generation, so I hope you are willing to hear me out.
