Style What I Own: The Same Carry-On Does Sicily
If you followed along for 7 days in Puglia with one carry-on, you know the drill by now — same bag, same handful of pieces, endless outfits. After Puglia, I didn’t go home. I kept moving, same suitcase, straight into Sicily: 24 hours in Palermo, 24 hours in Taormina, 24 hours in Syracusa, and four slower days in Agrigento to close it out. Different island, same philosophy: comfortable, versatile, easy to move in. Sicily in summer means a lot of walking, a lot of sun, and outfits that need to go from cobblestones to dinner without a costume change. Here’s how the carry-on held up.

This is How to Spend the Perfect Week in Puglia
THIS GUIDE’S heart comes from our constant search of places we visit but can’t really find things to do that are not as touristy or the hidden spots that we can’t miss. Of course, we found the most popular places to visit, which we did but here I share our honest opinion of what we liked, where we spent most of our time and things that were actually worth it. I hope this is helpful to others thinking about visiting the region. Puglia was full of life without being too crowded, it was warm in July, but the heat was dry like in Madrid so ladies, your hair will thank you. The little towns were very charming; the people were kind and welcoming and each had something for everyone’s taste and budget.
PICTURE THIS, Italian feasts surrounded with ancient olive trees, beautiful landscapes and life that just seems to halt for a moment. People enjoying people, people enjoying food, people enjoying life and putting themselves before work, before others and just being present. I think this is one of the parts that I liked most about our summer holiday in the Puglia region, the infectious joy that you get from everyone you meet, locals and people traveling there wanting to immerse themselves in the culture, the region and appreciate the charming whitewashed little towns.
