Italy is one place that’s a real treat to just stroll the streets of any city or town your find yourself in. Be it the popular cities like Rome, Florence and Venice or the smaller out of the way places like Lecce (where this photo was taken) way down south in Puglia. The character and charm of these cities are what really gets me. Take the photo above, walking a […]

What to See and Do in Brindisi
Many of you might ask where is Brindisi before looking for things to see and do, such is its hidden status to the average tourist.
