Have you ever had a travel experience so sublime that nothing measures up to it, even after twenty years?Photo by Wilfred Wong on Unsplash (This post contains a sponsored link from a TurnipseedTravel supporter).
Have you ever had a travel experience so sublime that nothing measures up to it, even after twenty years? That’s what happened to me the first time I went to Italy. I was only 21 years old and travelling on a flimsy budget. Gourmet food was out, or so I thought. However, thanks to a hilltop castle-turned-hostel in Finale Ligure (the now-shuttered Vuillermin Castle Hostel), I was about to make the memory of a lifetime. The hostel offered a simple supper for a few extra bucks a night. I was expecting bargain bowls of spaghetti, but instead, I was introduced to soft slices of mozzarella layered between tomatoes and drizzled with olive oil. A creamy sundried tomato pesto on farfalle was unlike any pasta I had before or since. Dessert was a simple platter of sliced peaches to be shared among the table, but oh my God, those peaches. I can still taste them. Perfectly ripe, obscenely delicate, and with the most intoxicating fragrance I’ve ever experienced. I can still smell them, if only in my mind. No wonder so many incredible perfumes are inspired by travel! Italy was just the beginning of my sensory journey, and I can chronicle my life travelling through smells. Here are some more of the most delectable destinations I’ve ever visited. |
