The part of Italy nobody talks about 🇮🇹
Puglia is where Italy actually feels real.Follow @a_rosieworld for more honest tips and real travel.I did a cooking class in a traditional masseria in Rutigliano, got a behind the scenes tour of an olive oil factory in Corato, and watched local nonnas making orecchiette pasta by hand on the streets of Bari Vecchia.There’s also a bakery in Altamura called Santa Caterina that has been using the same wood fired oven since 1391.Save this for your Italy trip.

Eight cities I would put on any Europe travel list

Eight cities I would put on any Europe travel list before the obvious ones 🇪🇺* Brno for its legends and underground secrets that most people never know exist.* Valletta for proving that Europe’s smallest capital punches well above its weight.* Bari for the most authentic slice of southern Italian life you will find anywhere.* Copenhagen for a harbour and food scene that makes every other city feel slightly less considered.* Malaga for being one of Spain’s best cities that most visitors treat as just an airport.* Gdansk for a Baltic old town so beautiful it genuinely stops you in your tracks.* Palma for a cathedral and food scene that makes you wonder why you went straight to the beach.* And Tbilisi for being completely unlike anywhere else on earth.Save this and tell me — which one surprises you most? 👇Follow @a_rosieworld for more honest travel

Two years since I left the BBC 🎙️I think I knew I’d made the right decision when I found myself sitting in a 300-year-old mountain village in Sharjah - laptop open, writing a blog post, staring out at a view that didn’t feel real.That was the moment it clicked.

The Eiffel Tower is not the best part of Paris 🇫🇷

The Eiffel Tower is not the best part of Paris 🇫🇷Walk down Rue de l’Université instead — it frames the tower perfectly through classic Parisian architecture with barely anyone around.Or find a quiet corner of Champ de Mars near Avenue de la Bourdonnais, bring food, and actually enjoy the view. That’s when Paris finally felt like Paris to me.Save this for your next trip. Where’s your favourite spot in the city? 👇Follow @a_rosieworld for more honest tips and real travel.

Everyone goes to the Leaning Tower. I almost didn’t 🇮🇹And honestly? The tower wasn’t the best part.Walk two streets back from the crowds and you’ll find tiny local pizza shops where the tourists don’t go and the prices are half what they are on the main drag. That’s when Pisa actually felt worth it to me.Save this for your Italy trip. Have you been beyond the tower? 👇Follow @a_rosieworld for more real travel tips
