What a life! --- Travel can be a whirlwind of sightseeing, jumping from one spot to another , or it can be an immersive experience where you truly blend into the local life. Whether it's a rushed tour or an in - depth exploration, it should ultimately serve you. The key is to completely unwind and savor the moment! ❤️❤️❤️ I love to observe the daily lives of locals and participate in their activities, living as they do. While I can never fully become a local myself, I strive to get as close as possible to their authentic experiences. I take time to explore the surroundings of my temporary lodgings, familiarizing myself with the local life and environment. For me, parks are a necessity. They provide a refreshing connection with nature. In Italy, parks often aren't enclosed or marked by grand entrances – they simply blend into the natural landscape and are open for everyone to enjoy. Visiting a park can feel like a mini - hike or a short trip, which is something I truly relish. #StayingCloseToHome #Travel #WastingTimeInParks #ExploringNature #LivingLikeALocal #ParkLife #HiddenTreasures #Florence #TheJoyOfStrolling
