Il Duomo, Milano. 2014 (I was so excited to see it sans scaffolding)
This month, the New York Times released what is always one of my favorite articles of the year, their list of Places to Go in 2015. I was proud to see my home away from home, Milan, IT was the first destination on the list. I studied abroad there in 2006 and absolutely fell in love with the city. I also lived there for a bit in 2009 and visit regularly, my last visit being Milan Fashion Week in September. I’ve visited a few of the places on the list and I hope to check off even more this year. There are 52 weeks in a year, so I’m slacking!
