The start of a Project

A passion, a dream, and a little extra work...

I'm Francesca, a globetrotting Italian-British girl who ‘unfortunately’ caught the Travel Bug a few years ago! Don't know what it is? Have a look at my related blog post in here.

Project Departure is my very own Travel Blog. I've always loved designing so at some point during the 2020 pandemic I decided to finally design my own website where I could share with friends, family and of course you all my unstoppable passione for wanderlust.

My aim is to be able to start travelling full time and I'm preparing for the biggest adventure of my life starting hopefully at the end of 2023! Wondering what? Well, for that you will have to subscribe I'm afraid 😌

Like many, up to a few years ago, I believed that traveling full time was something that could have never been possible to achieve due to the limited time off while working and all the expenses that traveling requires. The pandemic, however, showed us that working remotely is very much possible afterall so why not trying?

Let's say that all those months of lockdown during 2020, made me realize how quick our life can change and therefore, how important it is for every single one of us to live our life to the fullest every single day. Spend those extra hours with your loved ones, take more time off with your kids, do something different at least once a month, buy that little present for yourself and do the impossible to make every single one of your dreams come as you never know where that thought or idea of yours can take you and what is waiting for you around the corner. What's the worse that can happen after all, right?!

As Lao Tzu said: 'The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step'

I hope this post will give you that little push you need to take a step towards something you have been waiting to do for a long time. Well, in my case that big step was the start of Project Departure and many more big projects to come and I truly hope you take that little first step too...

Happy Projects planning everyone!

Hope you join me on my journey here on Project Departure ☺️
