From Wagga to the world: Tracey's Greek renovation adventure – More Than Renovating
Description
In this episode of More Than Renovating, Belinda welcomes special guest and VIP student, Tracey Ellis from Old 2 New House Transformations. What started as a casual chat turned into a captivating story about an Aussie renovator who took her skills — and courage — all the way to Athens.
Tracey shares how her spontaneous "late-to-life gap year" led to purchasing a rundown apartment in one of Europe’s most historic cities. From navigating language barriers with tradies to unintentionally renovating during daily siestas, her overseas escapade is equal parts inspiring and entertaining.
If you’ve ever dreamt of buying a €1 house in Italy or fantasised about Under the Tuscan Sun-style escapes, you won’t want to miss this episode. It’s a beautiful reminder that renovating isn’t just about bricks and mortar — it’s about life, learning, and taking chances.
Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a dose of wanderlust!
