Stories, Tips and Itineraries for Attainable Travel
Visiting Milan was an impulse, something tacked on after hours of price-hacking when booking our 2018 Eurotrip.

The What to do in Milan post isn’t ready yet, so I will begin with where we stayed and then give you the scoop on Italy’s second largest city soon. (Update! My Milan experience post is live.) After our two days in Italy, I’m glad we went there, even if getting there was a major
