ITALY in Winter - PART ONE

3 weeks ago I traveled alone to the Alta Val Taro region of Northern Italy.

I knew this was the birthplace of my great grandparents, and was following an inspired gut feeling that I should go. It was the most spontaneous and unexpected decision of my life.
What I ended up experiencing filled my heart in the deepest way. The payoff of listening to a mysterious longing, of noticing the signs pointing me toward what I couldn't explain, was beyond what I could have imagined.
Here are a few images of beauty which captured my heart, from my daily wanderings.

I will be sharing more stories soon from what was a sacred pilgrimage to connect with my Italian heritage. If you're interested, I hope you'll follow along.

Enjoy!
