Italy

23 days. One beautiful country. A journey we’ll never forget.

We spent 23 days traveling through Italy, moving from one beautiful place to the next, learning as we went, and making memories we’ll talk about for years. Some days were full of wandering and discovery, some were slower and restorative, and a few involved walking far more miles than we ever expected, but every part of it became part of the story. To make it easier to follow along, we’ve broken our trip into individual legs. Each one shares where we went, what we loved, what surprised us, and a few things we wish we’d known before we arrived. You can explore each leg of the journey below.
