My first trip to Europe was in 1993. I was a beginner, but quickly I figured out the way to really immerse myself in a strange and wonderful new place was to jump right in.
I avoided the McDonald's and looked for places that were different to me. The rewards of trying new things were instantaneous. Warm people and new ways of doing things.
Rome, Florence, Naples, Pompeii and San Gimignano.
My world became so much bigger after only a few days. I would travel to many other cities around the world in years to come, but my first experience in Italy will be fondly remembered.
