Romania 2024

 

We had an amazing visit this year to Romania! The itinerary was very different from our 2022 trip and we visited Constanța and the Black Sea.

I worked to journal every day but I did get a few days behind. I keep pushing myself to write more.

Once again, I will be putting together another travelogue. I am still deciding on the cover image and keep changing my mind.

I had my main Sillman & Birn book and a few feeder sketchbooks including a square zigzag I will post later.

So many great stories I look forward to expanding in the travelogue.

I also just updated the website for our September 2025 trip!

We have two 15-day trips available. 

Stay tuned!
