Buona Sara Travels

Gdansk - amber, pickled herring, Flemish Renaissance architecture, the OG Goldschläger...what else do you need? In this episode, Kevin and I will chat about one of our favorite quaint cities in Eastern Europe. This 1,000 year old port city is often called the "Amber Capital of the World" and is the actual starting location of World War II.  During this episode, we will visit the largest...

Seville, Spain - A city that began Roman, then Moorish Muslim and finally Christian. It might be the best region of Spain to find the oldest and well preserved customs, food, culture and, of course, Easter traditions that were slightly jarring (at first) to us Americans.  In this episode, we talk about the month we spent in Seville with our three year old daughter who loved chasing the pigeons in...

Hoi An - the city of lanterns. Pro tip: if traveling here with a young child, don't put her in charge of releasing your lantern that's supposedly symbolizes all your hopes and dreams. Because that young child (with the help of Kevin) will drop it, accidentally step on it and/or light it on fire (hopefully not leading to said dreams being dashed).  With that said, Hoi An, Vietnam, is trul...
