I hope the stories and the photos might bring back memories of previous travels for some of them. And I also hope that they will realize that if you want something enough, if you are determined, you can make it happen for yourself. (less)

After a few hours, or sometimes, even a day, I can usually refocus with fresh ideas to write.(less)

Is Atrani on the Amalfi Coast Really Worth a Visit?

Atrani Photo by Salvatore Monetti

Atrani is one of those hidden gems on the Amalfi Coast, and it’s often overlooked because it’s so tiny.  In fact, with a surface area of only 0.12 square kilometers, Atrani is considered the smallest community in southern Italy. Only 832 people call this their home in 2024. I’m so glad I finally had a chance to visit this charming town just a few years ago, and I absolutely believe Atrani dese

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou
“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
