Venice, Italy

From the customer: My senior year in college, I had the great fortune to study abroad in Venice, Italy. My first experience out of the country, it was invigorating, a little scary and truly memorable. Those four weeks in Venice taught me so much and inspired me to see as much of the world as I can.

My last day there, I snapped a photo of the sunset reflecting off the canal. It was by chance that I, in my last moments of taking it all in, took this image that was truly beautiful. When I started my first job a few months later, it was one of the first things I brought in to put on my desk. People always ask me about it, and it always inspires me to work a little harder and dream a little bigger. My City Print is now hanging right next to it and they make for a beautiful duo. Both vibrant with color, they force me to remember that by working so hard, I’m able to experience once in a lifetime moments, like my trip to Venice. ~ Jenny B.

From the map maker: Thanks for the great story Jenny! Katie and I were also fortunate enough to study in Italy and I agree with your sentiments completely. I count the days until we can get back to Florence.
