On a tour of Europe in 1998, our tour stopped in the town of Carcasonne, France. The town is located completely inside the walls of a castle, a “castle town.” We were told it was the location of where the Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner was filmed. The guide told us that one part of the unique town was the food, in particular the salads they served inside. He even said they were so beautiful that we needed to make sure to take a picture of them in addition to eating them. And he was right on both accounts, it was an amazingly beautiful and tasty salad inside the castle walls of Carcasonne.
Located in the heart of Central Switzerland, the small city of Lucerne boasts cobblestone streets and castle-like buildings. The most famous of its landmarks is the Chapel Bridge, a long wooden bridge built across Lake Lucerne originally in the 14th Century. On a summer afternoon in Lucerne with Mt. Pilatus in the backdrop, the reflection of the Wasserturm (Water Tower) off Lake Lucerne and the bridge connecting them is truly a beautiful sight showing off the beauty of this city.
Venice, Italy is world famous for its canals—a city built from a collection of 118 islands connected by over 400 bridges, the two main ways to get around town are by boat or on foot. The classical boat traveling through the Grand Canal and under many of the bridges is the gondola. With a traditional costumed gondola driver, the ride under the bridges with the classic buildings of Venice on either side of you is a must do in the city.

I am an event planner at a nonprofit organization, but my first true love was writing. I have a journalism degree from the University of Colorado. I also love to travel, so combining travelling with writing is truly a dream of mine, and now I plan to share it. Taking scenic pictures is also a hobby of mine, so I hope Everywhere and I become a natural fit.
