When you want a romantic sunset dinner on the Fren When you want a romantic sunset dinner on the French Riviera… but it’s also World Cup season ⚽📺🌅 Turns out the South of France said “why not both.” Waterfront tables, a glass of rosé while catching the last light, and a TV playing the match in the corner, because apparently even the most romantic coastline in the world understands priorities. 10/10 concept. Would recommend for anyone traveling with someone who “just wants to check the score real quick.”
the way room service in bed at a fancy hotel could the way room service in bed at a fancy hotel could heal me right now 🛎️🛏️ Crisp sheets, a tray of something delicious, a binge-able show & zero obligations — that’s all I need, honestly.

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 🌅 Go for golden hour, thank me later
POV: you hop on a $10 train in Switzerland 🚂🇨🇭 Th POV: you hop on a $10 train in Switzerland 🚂🇨🇭 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. 👉 Comment ALPS and I’ll send you my full Swiss Alps travel guide
