this second vlog documents my final two full days in Venice, and then finally dragging my sleep-deprived butt to the airport while reflecting back on the trip.
I took this trip back in October of 2023, and it was both my first solo trip and my first writing trip. I wanted to put together these two vlogs as a way to memorialize my time there and attempt to capture some of the beauty and magic of the experience.
I hope that you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed putting it together :)

#books #reading #fivestarreviews #booktube #readings #recentreadsvenice writing vlog pt. 1 // I took a solo writing trip to Venice...and it was MAGICpaperbackstacks2023-12-02 | hey friends, welcome back!
It's been a little bit since I last uploaded, but I've been sitting on this footage for about a month now and wanted to finally put this together and put it into the world.
I took my first solo trip back in October 2023 to Venice, and it was also, subsequently, my first writing trip as well. This video is a snapshot of my time there, and some of the beauty and magic I encountered.
I hope that you enjoy watching it was much as I enjoyed putting it together :)
This is Part 1, and hopefully, Part 2 won't be long to follow!
