Welcome to Cervo Wanderlust, a place for Tony & Teresa to share photos and stories of our travels.
We are Tony and Teresa Cervo, and Cervo Wanderlust is our place for saving and sharing our travels.
In 2024, we started pulling back from social media. What we didn't anticipate was the flood of friends and family telling us how much they would miss our adventures. While traveling, we would do photo dumps at the end of each day, with a write-up of what we did that day. It was primarily a way for us to journal our trip and have a place to refer back to when we wanted to remember the name of a restaurant/bar/building, or find a particular photo. Turns out many of our friends and family members were following along with our journeys.
Like we did on social media, this site will be a place for us to save our photos and travel stories. We'll also include the occasional article with tips and/or lessons learned, and maybe even some travel related product reviews (we don't currently have *any* sponsorships or affiliate programs, but if that ever changes, it will be made very clear at the top of each review).
Use the Trips dropdown in the menu to see posts from individual trips, or the Destinations dropdown in the menu to see posts for that destination (which may contain multiple trips).

We had an early morning guided tour of the Vatican Museums (and Sistine Chapel). We also saw the gardens and automobile collection (Pope Mobile!), but didn’t go inside St. Peter’s or the...
We met our guide from Enjoy Rome at 8:45am for a 3-hour tour (cue Gilligan’s Island theme song) of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. I had tried to get tickets from the...
We got up at 6am and headed straight to Trevi Fountain (a 6 minute walk from our hotel). Instead of hundreds of people packed like sardines, there were maybe a dozen or so early birds (including an...
After a final breakfast at the wonderful Cafė Carducci in Verona, we all headed for the train station. The kids’ train to Milan hit a snag, as a portion of the track en route was closed for...
Teresa and I visited Verona in 2021, in late November, but they didn’t have the Christmas Markets that year due to COVID, so we wanted to return. The Christmas Market did not disappoint...
