Welcome to the Notebook
A little over a year ago, my husband and I decided to follow a long-held dream. We packed up our lives, moved to Venice, and bought an apartment to renovate and call home.
Navigating local bureaucracy, project managing a full structural overhaul through the canals, and building a new life here has been an incredible adventure. But as an Organizational Change Management specialist, it has also been a massive live experiment in human adaptability.
