Amalfi Coast Honeymoon Destination Travel Diaries

May 5, 2016 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

amalfi coast travel inspired by nick

Ciao Amici!!

I’m officially back home in Toronto from an exciting trip to the Amalfi Coast with (get this!) my husband! Yep! Many of you already followed my journey along on Instagram as I shared some special moments from our big day and the honeymoon, but today I’m bringing you some photos that are really precious to me from our honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast, Italy. I have always loved travelling, so much so that I’m considering becoming a travel agent so that I can share my passion and knowledge with others, and inspire them to reap the rewards of exploring what the world has to offer too. But that’s a story for another post, this time I want to focus on the latest destination I’ve been to and the special significance it holds.

In a later post I’ll share with you some of the best restaurants to dine at in the Amalfi Coast, so stay tuned for that upcoming travel & food inspiration!

For today, I wanted to pop in and say hello, as it’s been a while since I shared something on Inspired by Nick, but I’m hoping you’ll be understanding as to why!? PS – the wedding day was incredible and we feel super blessed to have been able to share it with our loving friends and family. Is it me or has everyone got wedding fever at the moment? One of my best friends announced her engagement when we got back. I can’t wait to go look at Wedding Dresses in Frisco TX with her. I’ll just need to book a weekend off work first!

As for this next chapter in our life, not much has changed in our condo living downtown Toronto now it’s been finished and we’re no longer in short term North York apartments, other than all of the exciting future projects we’ll be working on together, as husbands! Of which I’ll be happy to share some inspiration on our home renovations, travel, DIY, lifestyle, and of course, my favourite: kitchen and food!

As for the Amalfi Coast, some of my favourite places that we visited were:

  • Positano,

  • Amalfi,

  • Ravello,

  • And of course, Capri!

I would say that Capri was the most commercial of the Amalfi Coast’s areas, but very special in its own way. Of course when in Italy, it’s hard to pass on the pasta, wine, espresso and the gelato! So while I try to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle for myself and for S, we definitely made time to indulge a bit in the simpler pleasures, all in moderation of course. 😉

One of my favourite things to do was, nothing! I know this sounds weird, but there’s a saying in Italian that goes “Dolce far niente” – which means the sweetness and simplicity of doing nothing. Simply taking the time to slow down, and appreciate. Quite a different lifestyle from our Toronto / Montreal / NYC / Vancouver / city lives of rush rush rush and work work work.

The Europeans definitely know how to appreciate the simpler joys of life. So, we adapted! Trust me, it didn’t take long for us to become assimilated to the culture LOL! The view, the lifestyle, the buildings and roads… everything is crafted in a way that forces you to slow down and just enjoy life.

I hope you love these photos as much as I do. A lot of them are quite special to me, and this is just a snippet of the 2000 others I have on my SD card lol, but stay tuned for a slew of awesome travel and food inspo to come!

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.
—
I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
