A blog of travels & renovations.
This whole traveling thing is pretty full-on! Haven’t had much of a chance to write a proper blog post – sorry everyone!

We decided to venture up the west coast of Italy via train as it meanders around the cliffs overlooking the ocean beautifully. A very pretty train ride.
Our destination was Genova – right at the top of the peninsula before heading back down towards the French border.
