The Roving Oldies

Heading to Italy this summer break? Our one-day travel guide is now available on our website for one of our favorite Tuscan towns we visited - Volterra! Check out places to see, what to eat, and what souvenirs to bring back!

This week, we are dreaming of those blues of the Greek isles…the sea, the buildings, the sky, oh, and also pistachios! Links to everything on our ShopMy on profile.

Happy Derby weekend! In our opinion, it’s the best reason for a party ever! Fancy hats, cold mint juleps, a slice of Derby Pie…Here’s our picks for what every Kentucky visitor should have to feel like you are a local.

This might be slightly controversial but I think Bruges is more romantic than Paris! Maybe it’s all the chocolate or maybe it’s just the cozy feel of this smaller town but whatever it is, it’s worth a visit. It’s also possible to do a day trip here when you are staying in Paris. Here’s a guide on our website to help you plan your visit!

This week’s finds are inspired by our trips to Tuscany. Is it cliche to love Italy? The food, the landscape, the people, the espresso, the wine…it’s all too much. It’s all so relaxing. Find links and more info over on our Substack!

We love playing games so we always save a bit of luggage space for some travel-Sized versions. From classics to some you might not have heard of before, here are our picks. Which ones are your favorites? Get links and more info on our Substack. We are always looking to try new games.

Our guide on what to eat, what to see, and where to shop in Florence, Italy is now on the website! I’ve included my favorites on this list but please tell me what I’m missing so I can add it to my must-visits the next time time there!

No matter where I travel or if I’m just enjoying a stay-cation, I love vintage shopping! Thrift stores, street markets, antique shops…I’ll take any of them! I especially love the brocantes in Paris and the quirky shops in Notting Hill. Where are your favorite vintage stores? https://open.substack.com/pub/therovingoldies/p/weekly-finds-vintage-shopping-edition?r=54rk5x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

This spring outfit has me ready to explore a new city or spend the day antiquing at a French brocante! The lightweight linen pants are perfect for that Mediterranean climate. The shirt is very versatile with its easy-to-roll sleeves and lightweight fabric making it great for layering. https://liketk.it/5aaNL

Want some ideas for souvenirs that won’t get tossed in a junk drawer once you get home? I try to only bring back things I love and know I’ll use and will remind me of my travels. Visit our Substack for all the details! Link in bio!
