“Traveling–it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” -Ibn Battuta

I was in Napa Valley on my family vacation last week and kept finding myself inspired by the lush colors and textures. Sometimes when I travel, I envision myself living in that place and Napa felt like home to my soul. There’s such beauty in creating something from start to finish and enjoying the final product. My favorite vineyards were the small family properties that produce wines culminated by years of labor and love. I could feel their stories and rich history. One day I’ll return, but for now, I’ll dream about it and stare at this inspiration board I created while I was there.
