Prolific Praskipark has been driving around Italy and Spain of late, sharing her tips--and plenty of inspiration--for Lakes Como, Garda, Lecco, and Iseo, among other areas. As she tips the 50-journal mark, we tip our traveling hats to her Southern Europe trips.

If you love finding hidden boutique hotels, see Praskipark’s Stylish Hotels in Espana. Into camping in the Italian countryside? Try 6 More Days Camping and Village Hopping. Like historic lake towns? A View of Some Interesting Places Around Lake Como is your ticket.

As you'll see in all those journals, Praskipark is an amiable traveler and guide--ready to roam for four or six weeks at a time, lover of beer and barbecue and pitching tents. She particularly likes Italy, though she says she’s not sure “whether it’s the weather, the Italian people and their romantic language, or just the wine and copious amounts of pasta.” And with her particular expertise on Portugal and Poland, there are plenty more trip ideas in Praskipark’s catalog. We can’t wait to see where she goes next.

Dispersione della luce è bella.
