Italy is a magical place. Full of history and culture. It's also a place that we should sample it as a fine wine: smell it, look at it, admire it and taste it. Not swallow it in a big gulp and be done with it.

Travel, for me, is not to see as many places in as short a time as I can, but to fully understand and absorb one place before moving on to the next. It may take days or weeks to scratch the surface of a single place, but the experience is unparalleled.
