Crisp sheets, a tray of something delicious, a binge-able show & zero obligations — that’s all I need, honestly. Some things really are that simple.

Drop your favorite hotel for a solo trip below and I’ll add it to my list 👇
You don’t hate tomatoes. You’ve just never had one You don’t hate tomatoes. You’ve just never had one in France. 🍅🇫🇷 (or Italy or Greece 🤣) 

Kind of joking, but mostly serious if you think you hate tomatoes, but have never had one in Europe, I beg you to give it another try 

This tableside tomato salad at Clover in Gordes might be the single best bite of my entire Provence trip — and that’s saying something. Add in sunset views stretching over the Provence countryside & the rest of this absolutely gorgeous meal & you have one of my favorite nights in Provence 

📍 Clover, Gordes

The Lauterbrunnen–Wengen ride might be the best 11 minutes $10 can buy you. Waterfalls, postcard towns and maybe the worlds most stunning mountains 

The Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Murren & Grindelwald are of the Alps is my top recommendation add stops in Interlaken, Spiez & Thun for unreal lakeside views and the bluer water and you have the dreamiest Alps itinerary 😍

And this is just one of Switzerland’s ridiculously scenic train rides. A few more worth building a whole trip around:

🚂 Glacier Express — Zermatt to St. Moritz, the classic
🚂 Bernina Express — glaciers to palm trees in one ride
🚂 GoldenPass Line — Lucerne to Montreux, panoramic glass cars
🚂 Jungfraubahn — straight up to the “Top of Europe”

Dream Switzelrnad trip = a rail pass and a window seat.

proof that you can get good sunset shots in Santor proof that you can get good sunset shots in Santorini despite the crowds (which are absolutely insane, every video you’ve ever seen showing the chaos is 100% real🤣) 

Tips:
- stay at a hotel with a view (Virginia Cave Villas Oia was unreal) 
- make a res in Oia with a view, I loved Santorini Sunsets bar 
- stay 30-40 min after sunset- these are actually the best views and colors and 95% of the crowd bails as soon as the sun sets and it gets so much easier to get pics
