The post Words and Phrases to Know Before Visiting Italy appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>As a tourist, of course you aren’t expected to speak the language of every country you visit perfectly. Plus, most tourist locations have a lot of people that speak English pretty well. With that being said, however, it shows respect and interest in the culture when you at least try to learn some basic phrases. It also helps to know the essentials in case of an emergency. We made a list of the most basic Italian words and phrases to get you started, so let’s get to studying (and practicing)!
We recommend you start studying these words and phrases a couple of weeks before you go. If you pick them up quickly, that even gives you more time to learn some more. Either way, you should try to be comfortable speaking these before you get there.
Yes – sì
No – no
Please – per favore
Thank you – grazie
Your welcome – prego
Cheers – saluti
Do you speak english? – lei parla inglese

]]>Going on a wine tour is a guaranteed good time. It’s also a great opportunity to get dressed up and take cute pictures for Instagram, as many wineries have beautiful backgrounds for photos.
Depending on where you’re traveling, there might be a lot to see. Renting bikes is a great way to explore the city, plus it’s such a fun activity.
Doing yoga or meditation together can be a great bonding exercise. It’s also great to get some stretching in after all the traveling you’ll be doing!
There’s nothing better than brunch with the girls. You can either make it yourselves (if your AirBnb has a kitchen) or you can go to a restaurant. Brunch is great because it’s more slow and relaxed, so it’ll give you plenty of time to catch up on each others’ lives if it’s been a while since you’ve all been together.

]]>One of the most significant investments Copenhagen made to become a more sustainable city was the extensive system of bike paths that were built. The infrastructure has made biking so accessible that it quickly became the most frequent method of transportation for everyday travel. This drastically reduces carbon emissions because there are less cars on the road.
You might be surprised at how much the heating and cooling system a city uses has an impact on its carbon footprint. It reduces the amount of energy lost in transportation by altering the city’s heating and cooling system to be more localized and energy efficient.
Copenhagen has also learned the importance of conserving green space within the city. Other than aesthetics, keeping green spaces in a city helps with regulating city temperatures.

]]>Did you know that your body get extra dehydrated when you’re on an airplane? This is why it’s super important to drink during the flight. If you don’t want to constantly get up for the bathroom, it’s a good idea to drink something with electrolytes so that it’s easier for your body to absorb the water!
If you like to order a cocktail or wine with dinner while traveling, remember to also order a glass of water! This will help your body recover from a long day of moving and exploring your destination. (Not to mention, drinking water with your cocktails will help reduce the chances of a hangover the next morning!)
Nothing reminds you to drink water throughout the day quite like carrying around a reusable water bottle. Bring a lightweight, easy-to-carry bottle so that you don’t forget to hydrate!

]]>If you’re going to Positano, you absolutely have to see the most stunning view. The Path of the Gods is the most popular hike in Positano, for good reason! It’s quite a hike (about 4 miles), but so worth it.
When you visit Positano, you will see lemons everywhere. It’s only natural that you’ll stop somewhere to try some Limoncello. Limoncello is a lemon-liqueur made along the Amalfi coast, perfect for sipping in the summertime.
Grotta dello Smeraldo is a beautiful cave in the area that is super unique. The cave is mostly dark, but the way the light reflects in the water makes it look like it’s glowing from underneath!
You can’t go to Positano without chilling on the beach! Spiaggia Grande is the perfect place to do just that. It will even give you a great view of the colorful houses while you relax by the water.

]]>The post The Viral Passport Makeup Trend appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Luckily, there was a trend circulating around TikTok and Instagram last year that will help you take the best passport photo ever. It’s called “passport makeup”, and it’s basically a tutorial of how to do your makeup so that it looks natural and great in the photo.
Essentially, the tutorial teaches you to contour your face in a way that compliments your natural facial structure. Since the camera of a passport photo tends to wash you out, using a more intense contour will help you look “normal”. This means contouring the cheeks and brightening the undereyes. This is always the first layer of the passport makeup.

Next, you need to focus on your eyes. Most tutorials focus on lengthening the eyes with winged eyeliner. Other than eyeliner and mascara, you might add a touch of bronzer into your crease to add a bit more definition.
After you complete your lip combo, you’re done. You’re now ready to smash your passport photo!

]]>Even if you’re pretty sure it’s safe to drink, maybe don’t risk it. Drink bottled water to ensure that you have clean, filtered water. Yes, this even means brushing your teeth with bottled water! It might feel a bit ridiculous, but you will be grateful to be healthy for your entire trip!
This is related to the tap water issue mentioned earlier. If you know the tap water is not safe to drink, keep in mind that people will still wash their fruit with it! If you only eat fruits with a peel, you won’t need to worry about how it was washed because you don’t even eat the outer layer!
Not everyone will love this advice, but when you realize how often food poisoning comes from meat dishes, you’ll see it’s not such a bad idea. If you really want to test out a local cuisine with meat in it, make sure that it’s a restaurant verified by a lot of people (especially locals!).

]]>One of the biggest attractions when visiting Amsterdam is the tulips. From flowers lining the canals to full-on tulip fields on the outskirts of the city, there are tulips everywhere—if you know when to visit. Go at the wrong time, and you won’t see any. This is exactly why you should visit between the months of March and May.
Spring is a wonderful time to visit, and not just because of the tulip festival! With the spring season comes warmer weather, which means great weather to sit outside by the canals. It’s also great biking weather, as it’s not too hot and not too cold. Biking around Amsterdam is a great way to really explore the city like a local. You’ll be shocked at how many bikes you see everywhere you go!
Overall, if you’re planning to visit Amsterdam, springtime is a great opportunity to really experience everything this wonderful city has to offer!
