Favorite Place

My favorite place in the entire world is Capri, Italy. It is an island off the coast of Sorrento.  I have only been to Capri once, but that was all it took. It was absolutely love at first sight on the little ferry ride over from Sorrento.

I studied abroad in Italy for three weeks the summer after my freshman year in 2014. I studied in Arezzo, Rome, Florence, Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri. Although all the cities in Italy were incredible, Capri was by far my favorite. I hope these pictures give you a better understanding of why Capri is truly my "happy place."

The highest point of Capri is 1,932 ft. The only way to reach the top was a 15 minute chair lift ride and coincidentally the only way to come down was the lift itself. Cars could not make it up the steep incline. It went straight up and I am not the biggest fan of heights. It might have taken some convincing for me to get back on the lift.

I hope to return to Capri, Italy one day. The views, people, food and shoreline were unbelievably beautiful.
