  • Paul made my dreams come true for my birthday. A road trip to Tuscany. First stop is Siena and I fell in love with this city. I couldn't stop smiling on this dream getaway - beautiful sights, delicious food, good company and the simple joys of just being in the moment. I hope you enjoy coming along with me to discover Tuscany, Italy.

    Siena is magical! I was there some years ago and it was just the day after the big horse race; Palio di Siena. Truly a beautiful moment in time.

    We will be here for a week exploring the Tuscan countryside.
    So happy you are enjoying yourself! I hope you are not too taken aback by the crowds in Florence because it is such a wonderful city! Just left there…my second visit there.❤

    How spectacular is the Duomo in Siena! I had the same reaction( emotional) as you,being inside. When you open those massive doors and enter,seeing the black+ white striped walls and all of the lapis it’s overwhelming!The town of Siena is small but really incredible.Had one of the best meals of my 4 visits to Italy,in Siena.BTW enjoying seeing you and Paul together in your posts,very sweet.

    Beautiful video once again, Sam! Brings back so many wonderful memories, thanks. I remember waking up very early one morning in Siena and looking out the window of the room my son and I had rented. I was a little shocked at how beautiful the scene was. I could see Basilica Cateriniana San Domenico surrounded by trees (olive? oak?). What struck me most was the COLORS. Beautiful tan, orange and many shades of green in the different species of trees. Then I remembered people have raved about the light in Tuscany. I just googled: "The light in Tuscany seems to shine from within the landscape itself, as if the hills and valleys were infused with their own luminosity." D. H. Lawrence. So very, very true! As far as why we're happy when we travel, I think Paul's right about it encouraging us to live in the moment. Travel also makes me say to myself, over and over, "Holy cow, there is so much beauty in the world just waiting to be seen that I knew absolutely nothing about! Why am I so focused on so much other gunk that doesn't really even matter???"

      Thank you Will! Isn’t it so magical! You are absolutely right, the lighting and how lush and green it is, it’s such a gift from Mother Nature! So happy you have already experienced Siena as well, I always love hearing about you and your son’s adventure. Have a lovely week!

    Merci de nous faire voyager dans cette magnifique région de Toscane en votre compagnie 🤩. Ça fait partie de mes destinations de rêve aussi 😉. Et je te rejoins Paul lorsque tu dis que voyager nous rend heureux : c'est un pur bonheur de pouvoir enfin fouler 1 terre dont on a longtemps rêvé et en plus le faire accompagné de sa moitié rend ce moment encore plus fort. On se sent totalement euphorique 🎉✨️🥰

    Being a person who just started travelling across europe I also sometimes plan to visit tuscany but then I think it would be better to go there after I find someone as my partner😅 because tusacany has just so romantic and chill vibes.
    Loved this vlog by the way, waiting for the florence part.

    Beautiful City. I love the architecture so much. Is Italian easier to understand than French since it sounds more Latin than French?

    I apologize but I have to point out some things to you: they say "IL dolce far niente", "LA dolce far niente" is wrong; Siena is a medieval city, NOT a renaissance one, there are no renaissance sculptures; CH in Italian is pronounced like K, so Venchi is pronounced Venki, not Venci; the she-wolf breastfeeding the twins represents the myth of the foundation of Rome by Romolo and Remo, raised by a she-wolf and the connection with Siena is caused by the legend which states that the founders of the city were Senio and Ascanio, sons of Remo and fled from Rome to save their lives. Enjoy Tuscany!.

      Thanks Paolo, I guess I’m getting my French and Italian mixed up 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ll change it in the thumbnail 😉 We looked up the story about the she-wolf when we were in the square but didn’t share that part on camera so thanks for sharing it here.☺️
