Hello, I'm Alan, I like traveling and I'm curious about the Travelzine. I've previously traveled to Europe four times and my next journey is to the Umbria, Naples and Rome with my fifteen-year-old son in March. I travel light, I travel low cost and I strive to experience the genuine culture of my destinations.

This is my son's second trip to Europe and my castle in the sky is that southern Italy will help groom him for a trip beyond Western Europe. Istanbul maybe? --Alan from Alabama
