So I’ve been a little pre-occupied lately with a Photoshop for which I’ve been playing catch-up. (A 2 week vacation will do that…). My final project was to make a poster series and I figured I’d devote my efforts to images I can use for this blog. Here’s one of them!

Cinque Terre
Leaving Venice was bitter sweet. It’s such a beautiful place with room for more exploration. But it was time to continue the adventure and head to the coast.
We boarded a fast train to Florence, transferred to a regional train, and spent another couple of hours heading to La Spezia. It may have been a 5 hour plus transit day, but I love taking the trains through Europe. As we zipped through the Tuscan countryside and sped past the mountainous Parco alpi Apuane, it dawned on me that two weeks in Italy wouldn’t be nearly enough to uncover even a fraction of its many jewels.
12 Things to See and Do in Venice, Italy
So it’s time to head to La Spezia to wander the five towns of Cinque Terra. I’m currently speeding along the Tuscan country side on Italy’s fast train, reflecting on the last few days. Venice was an incredible whirlwind that imbued my senses with the curiosity and awe often found with traveling to new destinations. Although I have felt jet lagged the entire time, adrenaline has kept me going to see and experience some of the amazing things Venice has to offer. Only have 2 days? Here are 12 things to do.
First stop, Venice!
I’m slowly recovering from jet lag.
Jet lag you say?
Well, two days ago, Robbie and I boarded a plane en route to London Heathrow, transferred to Gatwick, and then flew to Venice… Venezia… the City of Lights, or Bridges, or Canals.
A Space to Simplify
So… welcome to my new website. I’m excited that you’ve found this space. To kick off my journal, I figured I’d write about what this journal is all about.
These days, I have many topics entering and leaving my mind. It’s like a jumbled mess in there, which could be the reason why I’ve had far too many headaches at night while I’m trying to sleep. I’ve heard many times that it helps to write down your thoughts.
Ideas become more clear.
New ideas form.
The complex becomes a bit simpler.
So this is a space for my musings. A space to ponder. A space where hopefully, once my fingers begin to type, the jumble becomes a bit more teased out.
