These photos were taken during a semester abroad in the south of France. The French and Italian riviera certainly live up to their expectations. Vernazza, is one of the five villages of Cinque Terre, located in the Italian riviera. One can hike between the villages while capturing the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you. The carefully managed green terraced hills and vineyards form the perfectly sloping hills alongside the mediterranean. I have added a few photos from other countries, as I really like them.
