Top 10 places to visit in Rome

Rome is such a beautiful city, there is so much to see and to do. I’ve been quite a few times in Rome and I still haven’t seen all of the landmarks. If you’re visiting Rome, prepare yourself for a lot of walking! There are hop on, hop off busses, but walking through the little streets will make you fall in love with this city!

Every time I go to Rome, I’m there for just a day or two. Below you find my top 10 of favourite places in Rome (that you can see all in one day)!

My own experience #01: The selections

Many pilots knew from a very young age that they wanted to become a pilot when they grew up. For me, it was a little bit different. I always admired pilots, I looked up at the sky when a plane passed and one of my earliest memories is waving my grandparents goodbye at Schiphol’s panorama terrace as they were leaving in a plane to Jordan. I loved seeing the big airplanes preparing for departure and watching them take off. I must have been 3 or 4 years at that time. From that moment onwards, I was always excited to go to the airport or just pass by and see the planes taxiing, being curious how it was possible that such big and heavy airplanes could fly. Once or twice I asked my parents if it was possible to become a pilot. Even though my parents always supported me in all possible ways, they also raised me with a positive but rational mindset. They told me that it was very difficult and expensive to become a pilot. They told me about the pilots aptitude tests to be accepted to flight school, medical checks and education. Based on this, I assumed it was very difficult and for that moment I did not continue to do any research. Press on the READ MORE button to read how I went from high school to flight school!

How to become a Pilot #01: Flight Schools

Can you tell me how I can become a pilot?” It’s the number one question I get asked multiple times a day. You can find a lot of information on the internet, but the guidelines are not for every individual person. Why is that?

Because we are all in different parts of the world, with different backgrounds and there are very many flight schools worldwide. The best option for one person may not be the best option for another.

Even though you can’t find your perfect answer on the internet rightaway, Google will be your best friend when you start your research process. It all may sound a bit vague, but don’t worry: I will guide you through it. Press on the READ MORE button to see the first 5 steps to consider!

Exploring Puglia in 4 Days

Lately I visited Puglia in Southern Italy. It’s the province of the heel of the boot – if you know what I mean! Every day we made daytrips from Brindisi. Everything is very close by, from Brindisi we didn’t spend more than 1,5 hour driving to all the locations. I loved the crystal blue water, the iconic olive tree fields and the nature all around! Find below the places we visited in 4 days!

Exploring Crete in 4 Days

In summer I fly a lot to many Greek islands, but even though I have been doing this for almost 4 years already, I never got off the plane and discovered these wonderful islands. I did visit Greece with my family when I was younger, but there are still so many islands to discover! So this year I told myself I would go and finally explore some islands. To be honest, I have only done Crete so far, so I think I’ll have to postpone this adventurous plan to 2019. But, Crete was a BIG success and I am happy to tell you all about it!

Top 10 places to visit in Sicily

My top 10 places in Sicily

As I’ve lived for about 1,5 years in Sicily and it’s for sure one of the best places in the world to live (and to travel to!), I am really excited to tell you all about it! It’s such a beautiful island to do a roadtrip for about two weeks and drive all around the island!

Sicily is an island with wonderful nature, amazing food, rich of culture and the most friendly and welcoming people! Below you find an example route from Palermo and from Catania. It will bring you to most of the highlights. I will only describe the places I have actually been to myself, but in the itinerary you find more places (that are still on my own bucketlist as well!)
