blonde.travel One of the prettiest villages you have to visit 🍊🦋
⠀
📍Marzamemi, Sicily - Italy 🇮🇹
⠀
I’ve completely fallen in love with Marzamemi, a charming seaside village not far from the famous Noto - Baroque Queen in Sicily. The town captivates with its beautiful colors, from the deep blue tones of its waters to the pure white of its sun-kissed houses.
Marzamemi is an absolute must-visit on any tour of eastern Sicily ❤️

blonde.travel 5 years of calling Luxembourg home 🇱🇺
⠀
Today marks 5 years since we moved from the Caribbean to Europe and started calling this tiny country home.
⠀
5 years ago, we checked in eight suitcases on a Delta flight from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, loaded our orange Jeep Wrangler, wine fridge and white piano onto a ship to cross the Atlantic to Antwerp… and flew off to start a new chapter of our life.
⠀
It’s been a journey, that’s for sure✌️
