My family and I traveled to Venice, Italy for New Year’s. It was hard to decide what to do for New Year’s as lots of restaurants and other venues offer packages for New Year’s. After much consideration, we decided to join in on the celebrations in St. Mark’s Square. This was by far the best decision we made. They had live entertainment on a large stage set up in the square and a countdown to...

I visited a beautiful part of Wales called Gwynedd. While there, I walked up a long and hilly path to the Abergwyngregyn waterfalls with my mum, dad, and fiance Josh. Both the journey to the waterfall and the waterfall itself were beautiful. If you’re ever looking for something to do in Wales, I would recommend doing this.
