Welcome to The Blissful Adventurer!

The Blissful Adventurer - Michael Housewright

We had this place to ourselves

Welcome to the new website of The Blissful Adventurer. Juliet and I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to join is today. Today’s post will provide a small tour of the site and of course a few photos from the big recent trip in Italy.

You will notice immediately the new HOME PAGE which is the culmination of our dreams to offer an elegant introduction to the site with photography, clean lines, and ease of access. I wanted this to represent the gallery walls for Juliet’s and my work to shine through without distraction.

Mike, we found some prosciutto for you

A new feature on this site is my Italy Trip Design page. Here you will have a little of my philosophy on Italy travel and a contact box to request info from me and how I might assist you in creating the Italian travel you have always hoped to experience.

One of the things Juliet and I wanted most with this site was a way to showcase our Image Galleries. We have worked so diligently on our photography in the past year and now we have a vehicle to showcase our work. This page will constantly evolve and Juliet will feature more and more prominently as our readership grows. Now we have the ability to print, frame, and offer our photos to readers and friends.

Of course the primary purpose the new website was to create a vehicle for the launch and sale of our Book. The Blissful Adventurers will be a series of photo essays depicting the last 6 years of love and travel for Juliet and me. This book will be hard bound and a true labor of love.

With Juliet more involved and her work more influential we have edited our ABOUT page to bring her into the mix and give all of you a chance to link to her fantastic Pinterest page.

      Thank you so much Sam and thanks for coming over to join the party! I have lost about 75% of my readers since I was in Italy so it is wonderful to see a regular follower like you. If you feel inclined spread the word about my move :-)

    Awesome, congratulations on your own blog! I was hoping I could do that some day but I’m far from this. I haven’t yet been able to get my pictures organised and I don’t travel as much these days. Wonderful, keep sharing the photos and stories, I love them! :)

  13. Michael, the site is fantastic and the move is ultra-easy to make for your readers. The organization of the new site makes it really easy to navigate. Looks good too! Good luck on the new adventure. I missed this post somehow, but I got the one before and moved on over to the new site. :-)

      Shauna (my web designer) and I have learned much about migration and new little seeds are planted each day. I am excited that this was pretty natural for you and I am hopeful it will be for others.

  14. Love those trulli cones but I want to see them in color!

  15. It’s not easy to go camping here because there is no previous or next arrows. I have to open the month in the archives. and then right click on each post to open them in separate windows so that I don’t lose the month.
