As the holiday season comes to an end, it’s time to start looking forward to the New Year and what it will bring. After the year we had in 2020, everyone is looking forward to 2021 and is hoping it will bring good news and positivity.

With all the uncertainty of COVID-19 still lingering, I haven’t really set any major plans for the New Year. I am just planning to play it by ear. I’m sure my family and I will still go on our yearly vacation to Ocean City, New Jersey. As for other trips, I’m sure my friends and I will plan some weekend trips and adventures to nearby states and destinations.
One big event I am looking forward to this summer is my best friend’s wedding and everything that comes along with it. She asked me to be a bridesmaid, and I could not be more excited; this is the first wedding I will be in since I was a flower girl in an aunt’s wedding. I am excited for the whole process: the wedding shower, bachelorette party and everything in between.
After the stress the past year brought, I really want to focus on bettering myself this year and becoming the best me yet. I know that is cliche and everyone says it every New Year, but I am sticking to it this year, and I am going to create better habits!
Although we still don’t have a clear picture of what 2021 will look like, I am hopeful. I will do everything I can to make it a good year and spend as much time with family and friends as I can!

Apr 30, 2025Relais Villa Porta Review
Tucked into a Lake Maggiore enclave overlooking the Gulf of Colmegna, Relais Villa Porta is an idyllic place to take in a side of the Italian Lakes region that’s different from buzzy Lake Como during high season. In 1820, it was built as a hunting lodge, and by the end of the century, was transformed into an inn by Leopoldo Casnedi. Over time, the surrounding parkland was further enhanced with rare plants collected by Pietro Porta, its second owner and botanist, as well as regular guests wanting to support his efforts. This ensured the inn would ultimately sit pretty within a 10,000-square-meter park surrounding the main villa, a 19th-century Liberty-style greenhouse and original Villa Porta mosaic.
