In Marzamemi, Sicily, the fishermen’s catch is so fresh, you taste the sea in every bite. Indulge in sea urchin pasta with toasted breadcrumbs (swipe to pic 4!), and pretend you`re a local. Here, even the seafood has a reputation to uphold.

Venice is pure magic and passion—a city like no other. When you know where to go and how to dodge the crowds, it becomes even more spectacular. I love visiting in the shoulder seasons when the city feels like it`s yours. The Peggy Guggenheim Museum is a must-see, the canals are mesmerizing, and the architecture and food are simply unparalleled. Venice, you never fail to enchant. 🌊🍝🏛️

Chestertown, Maryland is a hidden gem on the Chesapeake Bay`s Eastern Shore that feels like stepping back in time. This historic town is brimming with charming cafes, vibrant galleries, and thriving arts organizations, all surrounded by natural beauty. Shhhh... very few people know about it. Be sure to visit Stam`s Luncheonette, where the old diner vibe is amped up with homemade ice creams, sandwiches, salads, and melts. It`s the perfect mix of nostalgia and flavor. 🍨🍔🌳
