welcome
Hi, we’re Jarryd and Nicola, two Aussie primary school teachers with a love for travelling as soon as the school holidays roll around! Our travels are a mix of history, culture, and those little everyday moments that make a place feel so special.
We’re slow travellers at heart, taking our time to really get to know each destination.
Here on our blog, you’ll find inspiration, practical tips, and plenty of honest stories about our experiences - the kind of advice we’d share with friends over coffee. Whether you’re a fellow teacher looking to make the most of school holidays, or simply someone who loves a cultural adventure, we hope you’ll feel right at home here. Thank you for joining us!
Experiencing a Traditional Celebration in Regional Italy
The region of Abruzzo, Italy, comes alive with an age-old tradition that blazes every year. This tradition, known as “Le Farchie”, is a mesmerizing spectacle that ignites the dark winter night with a burst of warmth and light.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the significance of Le Farchie, the preparations that go into the event, and the experience of witnessing this radiant display firsthand.
We really consider this celebration the highlight of our five weeks spent in Europe!
