Cinque Terre,

A photograph to spend a moment with. A few notes to take away.

01 / THE FIRST IMPRESSION

It is tempting to build a coastal trip around how many places you can squeeze into a day. Try a different approach: choose a small area, keep the travel manageable, and spend a little longer where you are. The view is easier to enjoy when nobody is watching the clock.

02 / SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND
