VENICE

Venice was my first glimpse of Italy, and I couldn’t have been happier. It was an unforgettable moment—the purest joy I’ve ever felt. Being there, accomplishing it all on my own, was beyond overwhelming in the best way possible. It was my first solo trip to another continent, and it truly felt like a dream. From the fresh seafood to the pasta, my first gelato, and the hostel experience—everything was simply magical.
