- We road tripped, visited a family farm, and ate the best meals of our lives.

I recently traveled to London and Southern Italy with my best friend, and it was my first vacation longer than a few days in over two years. What better way to celebrate saving $100,000 at 25 than going to Europe?
I was thrilled to go on what we call our annual "#friendmoon" - our honeymoon-type trip as best friends.
We initially looked at going to Greece, but the trip was going to be more rigid (with ferries and flights between islands), and more expensive. We knew we wanted to eat good food and be somewhere warm, which led us to Southern Italy.
In total, I spent a little over $2,100 on the 10-day trip - it was worth every penny.
Here's every dollar I spent on the trip (my BFF spent about the same).
