    Narnia is a Real Place: The Italian City of Narni

    If you’re thinking the name Narni reminds you of something, well, you’re right. Narnia is a real place, the setting of the Chronicles of Narnia is a real Italian city in Umbria with a story to tell. Narni is a tiny hamlet, tucked away in a lush, almost wild, landscape in the Umbria region of Italy. It was built on a rocky spur overlooking the Nera Gorge. The town’s medieval heritage is entirely intact. You can wander through the charming squares and narrow streets and climb the stone steps. Today, we travel to the Italian City of Narni which inspired the writer, C.S. Lewis, in writing the “Chronicles of Narnia.”

    SPELLO – The flower town of Italy

    Spello is nestled on the southern flank of Mount Subasio, between Assisi and Foligno in the province of Perugia in Umbria, and it’s one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of Italy” characterized by its blooming flowers from door to door. A not to miss event is the “Infiorata”, a Flower Festival held between May and August. During this time of the year, the village becomes more beautiful thanks to this competition: all citizens can participate and adorn their doorways and houses’ facades with plants and flowers. You will surely notice, other than the flowers, many houses proudly displaying the winning plaques. ❤There’s no place like Italy.❤

    Cascata delle Marmore, Italy.

    Hola my beautiful friends, yes today we are doing another travel blog and it’s on Cascata delle Marmore in Italy. I realized that I had tons of content saved up on my phone so I thought why not put it out there. Who knows I might inspire somebody to visit the places that I visited. I generally love traveling, like my whole life has been a journey, lol, pun intended. I’m the kind of person that I just can’t sit still! And if I do, I get pretty grumpy! A funny fact about me is that when I was still living solo (aaaaah those days were AMAZINGGGGG!!). I would leave…

Had a lovely time back to Kenya (1st home) to escape the winter blues, only to be welcomed with rain in Rome (2nd home). Ohh well, I guess rain is a blessing. Grateful to have all these opportunities 🙏
